Bachelor Thesis:
Development of a configurable audio effects device with RNBO
The topic of this thesis is the development of a hardware audio-effect device. The goal of this device is to try out self-developed audio effects with the least amount of effort using a haptic device. Based on a Raspberry Pi single-board computer and self-designed printed circuit boards, a functional prototype was created. In addition, research on common effect algorithms, such as echoes and filters, was done in this work. Based on these algorithms, a custom effect was built, and this was tested with the created device. Finally, tests were performed on the functionalities of the device. The whole project was realized mostly using the software Max and its software extension RNBO.
Components of the Device
One of the main objectives of this thesis is to develop a functional haptic audio-effect device. The final product should also have haptic controls. To simplify these elements when attaching them to the housing of the device, two extension boards were designed for the RPI. Two printed circuit boards (PCBs) were designed and manufactured for these extensions.
The software development was carried out in Max. The haptic part of the end product is based on a Raspberry Pi (RPI) single-board computer. Communication between the RPI and the Max programming environment is made possible by the RNBO software extension.
To demonstrate the possibilities of the resulting effect device, an audio effect is developed in RNBO. To develop an effect, research about existing and frequently used audio effect algorithms were done.
