Emulating the TX81Z - Techniques for Reverse Engineering Hardware Synths - Cesare Ferrari - ADC 2024
---

We all have our favourite synths and synth patches, but how do we go about creating software synthesisers which recreate these sounds?

Attempting to understand and recreate sounds we appreciate can at times seem overwhelming. This talk focusses on the analysis of a TX18Z hardware module in order to produce a software emulation in the Cmajor programming language.

The talk covers the challenges faced when recreating synthesis building blocks such as oscillators and envelopes, tools and techniques used to analyse hardware sound generation modules, and deducing the often complex interactions which form the character of the sound.

The techniques discussed can be applied to recreating other instruments, and best of all, being inspired by their architecture to build unique instruments of your own.

Intro to Software Development of Audio Devices - From Plugins to Hardware - Wojtek Jakobczyk - ADC 2024
---

Many audio software developers are working on PC or Mobile only, building plugins, DAWs, various applications. There is the whole world of developing physical audio products - synthesizers, grooveboxes, effect pedals or eurorack modules, that is unknown to them. Working with these may seem very different, strange and scary. The notion of "embedded software" may have bad reputation. Nowadays, the truth about developing on hardware is far more nuanced, if not very different.

The purpose of the talk is to show why developing software for hardware can be fun and satisfying and that it's not that much different to working on a PC or mobile.

A review of typical architectures of such products will be presented - starting from hardware itself, but focusing on software aspects - operating systems, programming languages in use and aspects that may be different to PC architecture - such as differences in (or lack of) threading or handling of interrupts.

Last but not least - some tips on how to get started in the field - review of recommend prototyping hardware platforms, interesting software platforms and open source projects.

Wojtek Jakobczyk

I'm passionate about making electronic music instruments that have physicality and give a feeling of something real and alive.

In the same time, I've been interested in making software since forever :).

Luckily, I can join the two passions working at Polyend, where we make synthesizers and grooveboxes.

An Adaptive Acoustic Software for Instrumental Music for Music Hardware, Products & Accessories - Acoustic Software - Arnab Dalal - ADCxGather 2024
---

This project presents an Adaptive Psychoacoustic Model designed to process and tune audio data for high-fidelity instrumental music, which contains no lyrics. The approach includes: Audio Data Extraction: Key audio elements such as genre, tempo, spectral density, and tonality are extracted to understand and analyse the content. EQ Techniques and Psychoacoustic Models: Advanced equalisation techniques and psychoacoustic models are utilised to process the audio.

Making It Good (the Principles of Testing Hardware and Software) - Emma Fitzmaurice - ADC 2023

You take a great idea, work out the details, make it and everything is lovely. Except no. Be it hardware or software, seeing an idea through to a high-quality product requires constant vigilance. This session offers a look into the principles and techniques of testing and quality assurance.
