SynDevKit is a open development environment for creating you own music using a DSP (when the code is targeted for the ADSP-218x line of processors, it is known as 8x-SynDevKit). a wide variety of signal generators, FX, and envelopes are included, along with methods of controlling and sequencing each of these functions. because the entire software environemnt is open and visible, it is possible to affect changes on parameters that other "open" or "modular" music environments wouldn't dare allow you to do. or course, there's a very good chance that you'll crash the processor (ha!), but SynDevKit provides the opportunity to experiment in ways that have not been seen before.

what are some of the defining features of SynDevKit?

	* over a dozen generators, includes basic waveforms in virtual analog (VA) synthesis, tweaked karplus strong (KS) generators, and many unique synthesizers
	* multiple FX modules, including state-variable filters (SVF), bitmasking, waveshapers, and other novel functions to sculpt and crunch sound
	* multiple envelopes types and stereo pan available on all audio outputs
	* a flexible step sequencer, with support for unlimited number of tracks (limited only by available memory and computational power), control tracks to automate feeding new parameters into generators/FX, individually configurable sequence lengths, swing, and probabilistic sequencing
	* methods of automatically modifying SynDevKit parameters with LFOs (with sample/hold and configurable waveforms) and envelopes
	* Perl scripts for simplifying composition and managing projects
	* codified methodology of sequencing and controlling events at the "measure" level of abstraction
	* methods of creating single DSP executables that contain multiple songs

when will 8x-Syndevkit be available?

no idea honsetly. it may show up in my GitHub but i need to make sure it's properly cleaned up first. it's a project i remain proud of both in what was made and how it was constructed.
