Abstract
My primary goal for this project was to attain experience with real-time audio programming on a sample-wise level and to gauge the potential of Raspberry Pi as a platform for the development of digital synthesizers and other musical applications. I aimed to do this by developing a functional granular synthesizer. I used the Jack Audio Daemon and the C/C++ API to connect various hardware and software components to build a functional and expressive synthesizer based roughly on features I have seen in other granular synthesis applications. Though the granular synthesizer I have created has yet to be fully outfitted with all its ideal features, I argue that my synthesizer is in fact quite functional and the Raspberry Pi is a viable platform for real-time audio applications.
