Micropython suitable for audio projects

Post by mongrol » Thu Sep 22, 2016 4:20 am

Hi All,
Naturally my first post is a question. :)

I'm currently designing a LIPO powered portable synth/sequencer. My current plan was to use a Teensy (probably 3.6) but would love to use Python if it's up to the job. I can't seem to find out what audio libraries are available. I can see you can do writes with the DAC and generate simple waveforms but has anything more substantial been developed or ported? Likewise on the sequencer side I need rock solid clock timing. Is the Pyboard up to a stable 384ppq ?

@blmorris started work on I2S support and designed a hardware audio DAC/ADC board for it, one of which he kindly gave me. Unfortunately his efforts on the firmware side seemed to hit a roadblock. See this thread http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic. ... I2S#p11209. I'm not aware of any other serious efforts at audio support.
