Music with microcontrollers (Spanish)

The Sysblocks experimentation panel consists of a single Sysblocks board on a plastic panel with power supply and USB lead.

The board is protected with a clear acrylic cover to ensure it is rugged enough to stand up to a classroom environment and the kit is supplied in a Gratnells tray for secure storage.

Students use conventional oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers to examine the results of signal processing in a music and DSP context.

Music with microcontrollers

Learning objectives

• Analogue to Digital Conversion
• Digital to Analogue conversion
• Simple Digital Signal Processing
• Nyquist
• Audio effects including echo, reverb, distortion
• Mixers
• Sampling and music creation
• Delays and stadium balancing
• EQ and filters

The Music Technology pack uses a single Sysblock and Flowcode Embedded to allow students to quickly construct a wide variety of digital music applications and understand the principles of digital music manipulation for musical effects and manipulation. Students will gain an appreciation of D/A conversion and A/D conversion and Digital Signal Processing Techniques that allow music to be sampled, delayed, manipulated and produces in the digital domain. Students make use of signal generators, microphones and speakers/headphones to create and understand a variety of applications in Music Technology. The pack is suitable for students 16+ with an interest in embedded programming and Music.
