    Teensy Audio Library

  • I love teensy. The v4 (M7) part is crazy fast. Haven’t done much with their audio library (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Audio.html) but it looks really great.

  • DaisySP

    A Powerful DSP Library in C++

  • There’s also the Daisy audio board (https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy), which has a nice audio and MIDI API written around a SBC with external SDRAM as well. It will allow you to write a lot of algorithms from simple delay-based effects (chorus/flanger/filter/phaser/etc.) up to some other more memory-intensive algorithms. Think of it like an audio-specific Teensy. I definitely recommend the Cortex-M7 for doing more heavy effects work, but you can get away with simple delay-line effects on a Cortex-M4.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
