    Eurorack modules

  • I have no idea whether such a book exists, but instead I'd recommend looking at the source code of the mutable instruments modules https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack as well as the code of VCV-Rack modules (I think most MI stuff has even been ported to VCV). I found both to be a gold mine when it comes to great algorithms and techniques you can use. Frequently there you'll also find the keywords to the theory used that you can look up yourself. Keep in mind that the Arduino MCUs are quite limited in power and also the lack of native division operation is quite limiting. As a next step I'd recommend looking into the esp32 or the teensy MCUs who do support floating point arithmetic.

    Teensy Audio Library

  • Depending on what you want. There's this amazing teensy audio library with a great graphical tool: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Audio.html

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
