weekly meeting thursday 9nov2006

I met Sam, the other two were not present.
I read the chapter about nonlinear processing techniques and finally succeeded installing matlab (after download in hetdepot and problems with the image processing toolbar which I then didn't install)
Next (this afternoon) we will start implementing a delay effect (or so) in matlab. Sam and me talked about simulink and matlab and we'll begin implementing in both languages. To see which one will fit best. For realtime simulink is easier, but maybe this must be a problem for later on.
Next meeting on next thursday two o'clock PM.

weekly meeting tuesday 31oct2006

I read through chapters 1 to 5 in DAFX. I was also making a list of possible effects and their possible parameters. This was an extensive job leading to the understanding that you can keep on inventing parameters for effects.
We assume that an effect algorithm starts with the basic effect and its parameters and after that you can make it more complex and add parameters. We thought that it might be better to start implementing effects right away starting with the basics and then experimenting with its parameters and adding parameters on the fly. The same with extraction algorithms. This instead of reading about them and then looking after the possibilities, because this might leave some possibilities unsought.
Also we will start searching search engines looking for articles about our subject.
