i think you can do some very pretty stuff. and you dont need an arduino board to get sound of a microchip. see http://loudobjects.com/ they just solder preprogrammed chips together and it sounds great. the weakness of arduino is IMHO the timing (usually the code runs in a loop and when there is more computation, then the loop takes more time, and therefore the computation makes the "delaymicroseconds()" unprecise. although, there might be workarounds for that, and there are also the 3 PWM outs.) but there is also only very limited amount of memory. still, I think it is worth trying! marius.

Hi,
I know this could go off topic pretty fast, but I think this Is PD related and some people here will be interested (more than in arduino forum).
I was playing with arduino with that examples that plays a buzzer just applying volts with delayMicroseconds() function.
So I realized how nice would be if we could implement some PD ~ objects concepts (like delay lines, filters, oscilators, envelopes) in a arduino library (create something like a Synthesis library).
Someone have tried something like this? I know that atmega168 have a lot of limitations for audio dsp, but it could be for lo-fi and bitcrushed sounds for studies and fun.
well... if this still too off topic for here, there's a topic related in the arduino forum: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1176970454 http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1176970454
but there's just few comments, this is the reason I thought here could be a place to find some interested people...
thanx
