I'm a third year university student studying a BA/HONS in Music Production.

I have an idea for a practical project for this year of designing effects for a guitar in a piece of software like Pure Data and transferring them over into a piece of hardware like a footswitch/pedal.

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Pure Data.

Is there anyone on here who knows how I might go about doing this.

Also if there is any research regarding this topic.

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

man, i've been pure data-ing for over 10 years, and i have never seen anything that will put PD in a guitar pedal without much latency. wish there was a way.

Is that the only issue with doing this sort of thing?

I have not done this personally, but I know folks (online) who love playing with this.

These are not pd-based, but fun to look at & learn from:

This makes use of the "pduino", pd arduino board:

I am an contributor/administrator over at futureguitarnow.com & also over at vguitarforums.com. This thread, in fact, is what led me to this forum & to my current experiments with pd:

That thread completely blew my mind, I went from "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS" to "Hey, even I can do this!".

It might be good to ask folks how they handle latency - or if they just tolerate it.

Thank you Shawnb, I already knew some of these links, but were not aware of the one on futureguitatrenow wich is VERY inspiring.
