Newbie level 1
30th May 2013 :: Hoxton, London, UK. Rebel Technology launches a Kickstarter to
fund the OWL reprogrammable effects pedal.
The OWL guitar effects pedal is a stompbox like no other. Completely open-source
design in both hardware and software, the pedal allows developers to design effects
patches in C++ for use in a dedicated device. Using a simple drag and drop interface,
different patches can be easily uploaded to the pedal - whether these are from the
potentially unlimited online patch library or from code of your own design the
possibilities are endless. Design unique bespoke DSP effects that no-one else has, or
share your creative DSP expertise with other users and contribute to a vibrant,
open-source community.
Based around an ARM Cortex M4, the pedal is capable of handling more than 3000
instructions per sample at 48kHz, has integrated DSP, FPU and DMA. With the OWL
sim, you can test your code along the way as a VST plugin in a host of your choosing,
fine tuning your patch until you want to take it out to the gig. All of the embedded
stuff is taken care of and there is no requirement for specialist hardware knowledge.
The entire tool chain is also open-source, negating issues like vendor lock-in and
dependence on proprietary tools. This makes the OWL a unique platform for audio
DSP developers.
The OWL is looking for crowd funding on Kickstarter. The fundraising campaign ends
on July 1st. Go pre-order your own and help us produce the first batch !
