ASTROVOX
ASTROVOX is an experimental software project aimed at playing with sound generation.
The original goal was to write an approximate software emulation of the Roland Juno-60 synthesizer (as used by two of my favourite musicians, Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm), but as the project progressed, it took on a life of its own and became much more open ended.
ASTROVOX is written in C, and aims at being as simple as possible, with a minimum number of dependencies.
This project is a “play project”: sound generation is a brand new domain to me, I’ve last worked with C in uni in 2005, so I have no hopes of a “good enough” outcome — only of exploring and enjoying the process.
