FPGA MIDI Music Synthesizer -- Episode 388

FPGA MIDI Music Synthesizer

element14 presents | Andy West's VCP Profile | Project Videos

Have you ever wondered how digital synthesizers work? In today's video, Andy shows how to build one with just a handful of parts. He'll use a standard MIDI interface and line-level output for maximum compatibility, and an FPGA for maximum fun!

The documents for the code is attached below.

This project is really making me see light after a long tunnel, and guess will do also for the many who see fpga programming unreachable,
very well explained. Hope you can give me some hint to go on in my project. How could i get in touch with you?

You can message me here in the community, but I suspect there are people here that are far more knowledgeable. If I remember correctly, this was only my second or third project using an FPGA. You can always ask specific questions in the FPGA Group.
