[Stanislaw Pusep] has gifted us with the Pianolizer project – an easy-to-use toolkit for music exploration and visualization, an audio spectrum analyzer helping you turn sounds into piano notes. You …read more Continue reading Pianolizer Helps Your Musical Projects Distinguish Notes
Fourier Transforms (and More) Using Light
Linear transforms — like a Fourier transform — are a key math tool in engineering and science. A team from UCLA recently published a paper describing how they used deep …read more Continue reading Fourier Transforms (and More) Using Light
Even Faster Fourier Transforms On the Raspbery Pi Zero
Oftentimes in computing, we start doing a thing, and we’re glad we’re doing it. But then we realise, it would be much nicer if we could do it much faster. …read more Continue reading Even Faster Fourier Transforms On the Raspbery Pi Zero
Real Spectrum Analysis Goes Virtual
One of the hard things about electronics is that you can’t really see the working parts without some sort of tool. If you work on car engines, fashion swords, or sculpt clay, you can see with your unaided eye what’s going on. Electronic components are just abstract pieces and the …read more
Talking Head Teaches Laplace Transform
Most people who deal with electronics have heard of the Fourier transform. That mathematical process makes it possible for computers to analyze sound, video, and it also offers critical math insights for tasks ranging from pattern matching to frequency synthesis. The Laplace transform is less familiar, even though it is …read more
MDFourier Project Seeks The Genesis Of SEGA 16-bit Sound
It always sounded a bit crunchy, but crunchy in a good way. SEGA’s 16-bit console, whether you call it the Genesis or Mega Drive, always had a unique sound thanks to it’s Yamaha YM2612 sound chip. The chip’s ability to reproduce shredding guitars and blasting bass drums was a joy …read more

Interactive Demo Shows the Power of Fourier Transforms
When it comes to mathematics, the average person can probably get through most of life well enough with just basic algebra. Some simple statistical concepts would be helpful, and a little calculus couldn’t hurt. But that leaves out a lot of interesting mathematical concepts that really do have applications in …read more
