MIDITONES: Convert a MIDI file into a simple bytestream of notes.
MIDITONES compiles a MIDI music file into a much simplified compact time-ordered stream of commands, so that the music can easily be played on a small microcontroller-based synthesizer that has only simple tone generators. This is on github at www.github.com/LenShustek/miditones.
Volume ("velocity") and instrument information in the MIDI file can either be discarded or kept. All the tracks are processed and merged into a single time-ordered stream of "note on", "note off", "change instrument" and "delay" commands.
MIDITONES was written for the "Playtune" series of Arduino and Teensy microcontroller software synthesizers.

SOF ~ DSP Firmware Infrastructure & SDK
Sound Open Firmware (SOF) is an open source audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) firmware infrastructure and SDK. SOF provides infrastructure, real-time control pieces, and audio drivers as a community project. The project is governed by the Sound Open Firmware Technical Steering Committee (TSC) that includes prominent and active developers from the community. SOF is developed in public and hosted on the GitHub platform.
The firmware and SDK are intended for developers who are interested in audio or signal processing on modern DSPs. SOF provides a framework where audio developers can create, test, and tune the following:
- Audio processing pipelines and topologies.
- Audio processing components.
- DSP infrastructure and drivers.
- Host OS infrastructure and drivers.

THD Meter ~ Measure Total Harmonic Distortion
MathAudio THD Meter VST/AU
- Measures Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in sound cards, speakers and headphones.
- Applies matched filters for maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the presence of additive stochastic noise.
- Supports microphone calibration files.
- Supports full range of sample rates from 44.056 kHz up to 384 kHz. All sample rates are supported without resampling to avoid any possible loss in accuracy.
