Design of an Audio Sampler
This is the thesis I wrote in the third year of my MEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering. I’m kind of embarrassed to think about it too much or read it now.
Design and implementation of a MIDI Sampling Synthesizer
Date: Summer 2007
Author: Guy Burton
Abstract
This paper is an account of the steps I have taken to design and implement a MIDI Sampling Synthesizer, starting from analyzing the existing market and looking at the general field of digital signal processing, before examining the algorithms involved, the design of a custom hardware solution and developing software based on the Steinberg VST platform to achieve the goal.
Unfortunately due to a hard drive crash I no longer have the source code for this project.
