Microcosmos is a small (130X80mm) open-source electronic board, developed by Faselunare (Italy), aimed at prototyping electronic musical instruments and learning electronics, microcontroller programming and audio DSP.
Microcosmos is made on top of a Teensy 4.1 board and features several encoders, buttons, it has an OLED color display, SD Card, audio I/O, MIDI I/O on Mini Jack and MIDI over USBHost.
Alongside the hardware, Faselunare is developing an open-source SDK to program the board.
While FAUST is not (yet) directly integrated in the SDKs, the developer team has adopted this language for the DSP part. The main reasons are:
-
compatibility with the Teensy board (with the exporter)
-
testing outside the board (with the online tools)
-
rapid prototyping
-
elegant functional coding
