Multi Channel Audio Mixer daughter board project
Hello Everyone,
I am currently researching for a multi channel audio mixer project and I found XMOS to be the best solution for this project. I saw the startKIT and it seems best for my application simply because its cheap. :)
If this project become successful, I may release it as an open source project on my site tataylino.com. I am used to arduino and PIC mcu so this XMOS is new to me.
I am aware of the slice board with 4 inputs and outputs but I want to make my own because I want to have at least 8 inputs and maybe 4 or 6 outputs.
Since I am new to XMOS, I am not sure if the startKIT is suitable for my requirements so I need your advice.
Here are my requirements:
* at least 8 audio inputs
* at least 4 audio outputs
* Each mono audio channel input have Gain, Volume, EQ, and simple Compressor controls
* Mix all inputs
* Volume and EQ controls on each outputs
* USB streaming on each inputs
* Record each track on a SD card or USB flash
* Controls may be on a tablet via wifi
I have a doubt that these are too much for the startKIT to process but as I've said I am new to XMOS mcu so I may be wrong. Please advice if its possible or if not, please tell me what can be done.
Thanks in advance!
PS: The multichannel development board is too expensive for me so I decided to make my own extension board for the startkit. My goal is to have a cheap extension board product for the startkit. This product is for those who can't afford the digital audio mixer and/or multi channel audio interface and want to build their own audio mixer/interface.
