Idea: Teensy 4.1 Guitar Interface
The Idea
I want to build a digital guitar effects processor using a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller. The idea is to write code that manipulates the audio signal in real-time — applying delay, reverb, distortion, etc. — directly on the chip.
I can also record the audio, I would have to use a powerful audio codec with it so that i can stream the data live
Why Teensy?
Teensy 4.1 is a beast for audio processing. It has a fast clock speed and great libraries for audio. Plus, coding my own effects sounds like a fun way to combine music and programming.
(More details coming when I actually start building this...)
