Hi all,
I'm a complete beginner to Arduino. I have a microcontroller experience from programming DSP boards during my time at university, however, I wanted to try something new.
I was inspired by this Arduino Granular sampler (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5pOsGyzTHTU) and have a lot of my own ideas to add to this concept as Granular synthesis just incredible.
I noticed the user is using either a Nano or a Nano Every plus a MicroSD module - haven't been able to figure it out. My plan is to use a DUE to manipulate samples from a MicroSD in a similar way - taking small grains of a sound which would be up to 500ms in length to play back multiple times in a second with random panning etc. I'd also like to map it using MIDI.
I would like to introduce filters and other effects (which I'm considering using an STM32 for now)
I would also like to have a sample rate of 44.1kHz but I am willing to drop it down to 32kHz if needed.
How feasible would it be to achieve this with Arduino? I've seen a lot of similar posts in the forums about arduino not being recommended for this type of application - however, I assumed that was for more real-time DSP with a signal coming from a guitar and such and not pre-loaded sounds on a MicroSD card.
Any advice on this would be great
EDIT:
I have since been looking into the Teensy due to its compatibility with Arduino
