Vespula

Software Synthesizer

Vespula is a personal project. It’s a polyphonic software synthesizer for Linux. It was written in C++ on the Qt framework. In the process of developing Vespula, I learned a lot about GUI development and signal processing.

Features:

• Four waveforms

• Standard ADSR envelope

• Loop mode

• Vibrato

• Low-pass filter with resonance and cutoff parameters, a low-frequency oscillator, and an envelope

• FM effect with its own envelope and oscillator

Artificial Neural Network Drum Classifier

This was a school project. I trained a neural network to classify drum sounds as kick, hi-hat, or snare. I wrote a script that used the network to extract the best candidate kick, hi-hat, and snare drum sounds from an input audio file.
