I have a fair complex idea in mind, maybe to complex for a beginner, but its the only way I can motivate myself to even try it and be fulfilled. I may sound like I know what I'm saying in the paragraph below, but I really don't. I am just able to surf for long periods of time and remember the keywords necessary for my intentions.
To give you a brief overview , I am trying to build an analog synthesizer, that can be controlled by digital parameters, but can also control digital parameters. It's going to basically be an analog/digital synthesizer and workstation. I have a friend who is going to be handling all the software related build in Juce and the Linux distro we will be using for the OS platform and development, So I don't really have to think about that.
My task is concerned with the hardware and firmware. we decided to use an X86 platform, which is the Udoo x86. My partner said it was better for audio related development. The udoo has an Arduino Leonardo embedded through the Leonardo serial. I decided I didn't want to use the Leonardo for the other peripherals such as sequencers and encoders since I'm pretty new to all of this anyways, so I decided to use another platform and found the teensy 4.0 which now supports better polyphony. That's why I decided to save 100 hours of countless internet surfing, I should just ask general questions first.
I know this is an overly ambitious project, but no one has done anything like it in the DIY world, so I decide it would be fun to see how far I can go with it and post it on here.
Thank you for all your help and all you do.
