Andy demonstrates how to build a digital music synthesizer using an FPGA and a MIDI interface.

Have you ever wondered how digital synthesizers work? In today's video, Andy shows how to build one with just a handful of parts. He'll use a standard MIDI interface and line-level output for maximum compatibility, and an FPGA for maximum fun! Connect with Andy on the element14 community: bit.ly/2TS8tp5

On “How do I get into this field? How do I become an FPGA engineer?”

Tools for making music is a good place to start. For example: [video This is just one example, there are tons of music-focused applications for FPGAs, but as suggested before, start small and work towards more complex projects later.
