get started in FPGA-based audio synthesis

Follow the module development here.

eurorack-pmod is

• 4xIN + 4xOUT, precision programmable audio channels, controlled through a PMOD interface (present on most FPGA development platforms).
• A collection of example cores, which make it easy for you to get started building your own samplers, wavetable VCOs, filters, or whatever you can imagine.

FPGA-based synthesis?

Programming audio logic in hardware enables designs which are difficult or impossible on an ordinary MCU/DSP, for example:

• Achieve 1-sample latency from input to output.
• Instantiate a gate-level simulation of an old synthesis chip.
• Large numbers of truly parallel synthesis engines (think: highly concurrent wavetable synthesis)
• It's a fun way to learn Verilog!

technical

• 4HP eurorack-compatible module.
• 8 (4 in + 4 out) DC-coupled channels with LED indicators.
• 192KHz / 32bit sampling on all channels.
• I/O clamps at +/- 6.5V.

project status

This module is planned for release in Q1 2023 - eurorack-pmod v2.2 is fully functional and currently undergoing beta testing. Get notified when it is available.
