Hope you enjoy this video series on DSP for audio! Let me know if you have any questions or comments :) New mixed-signal hardware design course with KiCad v6 - with updated pricing! ⏵Course sign-up: phils-lab-shop.fedevel.education ⏵Course content: www.phils-lab.net/courses
Thanks Phil for updating the pricing! I am finally able to go for the $149 one. The $99 one was too bad for hobbyists due to the time constraint and lack of download whereas the business one was too expensive for the regular Joe. Thanks again for providing quality content and listening to your followers!
Awesome, one thing I really love about it is - Linux compatible! If I could - I would get one! Maybe some day... Also thank you Phil, really love STM32 and all about Digital Audio!!!
Your explanation of the 1st-order low-pass filter is clear. It makes me confident that I could implement it. Excellent video which doesn't skip over important details. Well done, and thanks for posting. I look forward to the rest of the series.
As a soon-to-be CS graduate who's looking to get into embedded software development as a career, these videos are invaluable to me! Your video on how to write a driver for stm32 is basically the blueprint on how i try to write software still.
This is really good stuff. I really like how you are going into the meat of the content and then summing it all up with a real world example. As some others have said, I'd gladly pay for a DSP course. Lastly, nice socks.
Careful there Phil, you might start undercutting some pedal companies' $600 effects pedals :) An experiment I would really like to see is how *underpowered* you can make your hardware and still get some effects going? E.G, what sort of frequency can you run the CPU and still get real-time processing with floating point / integer math?
@@velvetsound That is around £309 ? But it is not an experimentation platform, or? (sorry, besides guitar excursions :) ) Also what Matthew already forgot from the beginning of the video(1) (and you didn't mention here) is the quality of the ADC/DAC and the analog audio chain. Quality of mechanical construction, etc. pp. That is knowledge which those companies possibly would kill for:) (1) NE5534 or something + TLV320AIC, Phil said "very simple" ... and that design is a whole new can of worms

You can calculate (or measure and then interpolate) the noise and frequency response of digital filters. What I meant is: Be SOME percent over the "shitty sound" margin to have something reliable.

Haha, yes maybe this'll show that it isn't too hard (or costly) to make your own digital effects pedals! That's a good idea. I'll show some of the limitations of this F405 MCU when we'll look at FIR filters of various lengths. Haven't really tried much signal processing on lower-power MCUs.
as an embedded developer, its really hard to solder another opamp resistor to settle or attenuate the signal to the mcu. i'm using i2s channel for trying it out the circuit. i put an adc like you did... and i'm chilling when i need to change attenuation factor or lpf settings because of very fast mcu's nowadays. (we are not populating these ic's at production btw) when i'm in the university, there were only the pic family. 20mhz at best ahhaha:)... now i have 168mhz or 240 mhz mcu with fpu and dma and fast i2s peripheral.. weather is clear for embedded engineers... :)
Hi I wanted to try this audio acquisition and build a software fsk modem. But I couldn’t find the project files on the GitHub link in the description. Hope somebody could help.
Very cool. I wonder how closely you could emulate actual hardware pedals? It would be cool to see you emulate a tube screamer or one of the original hard clipping distortion pedals.
Hi Phil, I had trouble finding the STM32 CubeIDE file, as well as I was wondering if the schematic shown in the hardware overview could be shared please. Thank you for the video
I was so hoping you implemented full filter that is capable of 0.5Hz cutoff (at 48ksps), that is nearly impossible to do in analog domain. All you have to do is to run convolution with your kernel, I always wondered if STM32 has enough performance to do it in real time :)
I know the question has been asked, but haven' t seen the answer yet: what's the latency between input and output? I assume it's something greater than buffer_size / sample_rate -- what do you measure?
I would like to buy a pedal that I can program myself. Has anyone built and made pedals like yours available for sale? I am comfortable coding in C but not that comfortable populating or designing PCBs and such.
What would be a good guess for the cost to produce these audio DSP boards? Has anoyone done so already? I can imagine a lot of people who might be adept at an IDE and some light soldering -- but lack PCB and SMD chops -- being interested in buying them .. Fantastic video and channel.
Hi Guy, I'm starting development with dsp stm and I'm using your videos as a learning base. Have you made the GDSP_codec file available somewhere? I didn't find it on your GITHUB and I need this file to get audio from my board
Hey Can you make a video on making a bi-directional power delivery Sink source board using the TPS65982 (or similar) And a synchronous Boost buck converter using LTM4607 I am making a powerful Powerbank with 100W PD port and 300w (20v 15A) port for my laptop Can you help me out?
Phil, could you perhaps cover different digital power supply topologies as well? You could start with the basics like short circuit protection and move on to more complicated topics like DC/DC, DC/AC conversion, motor control, regenerative braking, PFC, etc.
I actually recently made a demo board for future videos on how to design/control a buck converter. I think both from an electronics and control standpoint that could be pretty interesting. Other than that, as you mentioned, I also have a motor control board ready for some videos! :)
Phil, is there any way we could manufacture this exact GDSP PCB and follow along with the code? Please let me know as I am very interested in completing this Audio-DSP Playlist. Cheers from across the pond :)
Thank you again Phil for more great content! You mentioned that the ADC of the STM32 is not appropriate for sampling the audio signal and that the ADC of a codec IC should be used instead. Why is that?
Thanks, Bruno! The STM32's ADCs and DACs are usually 12-bit and you'll get pretty harsh, very audible distortion. 16-bit is pretty much a minimum for audio.
Is this dsp also similar to what jbl uses in the charge, xtreme, flip, pulse, boombox series of their bluetooth speakers? I'm currently building a bt speaker, it's drivers are 10-20watts, it's a replacement driver for jbl charge 3, I used tpa3110 amplifier and m18 bluetooth decoder. The sound is good, but I want it to sound like jbl charge 3, it has bass which you can hear loudly. But mine, I don't hear any. Can I use this dsp?
Would be interesting to see how you determine how many cycles each algorithm takes and how much CPU load. I don't know if it done through statistical profiling or if you use some time measurement technique like watching clock cycles.
Hi Phil, can you make a video that demonstrate (in code examples) some and useful building blocks of DSP library (CMSIS). In C there are if-then-else statement, the are select case, logical operators etc that made up the C entire program. It would be very helpful to see how the program flows in DSP programming by examples. thanks
25:33 I am curious about the time delay of your system. You can show the phase response measured here and compare it with that from simulation so as to tell the latency. Is the latency mostly due to I2S communication or something else?
Sir I want a long range sensor which is a kilometer awayThe New Data Sender Receiver has a range of 1 kilometer and can send multiple data along with it, which is a receiver that can receive the same data.
I'd rather be using pure CMSIS for audio processing to decrease time consumption caused by all that HAL stuff. *Many of DSP code snippets can be found with REAPER DAW as JS plugins, but they're written in EEL.
I am more interested in DSP programming for audio applications like the audio equalization, mixer/audio mixing, digital filtering, understanding of the analog ics that made up the analog embedded system (I mean the chip like the dsp audio mixer, audio codec, etc). In digital/mcu based embedded systems there are ics like eeprom, rtc, I/O port expanders, CAN, RS232, RS485, ethernet PHY, etc that made up the system BUT in analog embedded system (again, I mean the DSP based solution) is still to me remain secret and not liberise !
Phil, this video is pure gold. The fact that you're providing it for free is so admirable, ill gladly go to your patreon... I am developing a similar project, but have chosen the stm32h7. It's awesome that you're usinig a cortex m4 since I was weary the performance would suffer compared to an m7 chip. Have you hit any roadblocks in terms of performance when implementing some more "crazy" dsp algorithms? Do you think the higher performance of the m7 compared to m4 is worth it? Cheers!
it depends. the only way to determine is to put an algorithm execution expectation on m4 or m7, Example: A single channel IIR at 96fs is okay, but you will soon see interesting CPU and Memory issues when building advance "single audio channel high sample rate" algorithms like: ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Parametric EQ with limiters, Advance Reverb Algorithms (an there are many) then an M4 STM32 wont work, M7 barely but then again? what are you trying to do? what is the aim? M7 for simple to advance low sample rate will work. Yet again the M4 and M7 are great chip most people doing DSP will have to start here and work their way up.Some DSP things I mentioned are highly subjective do you even need high sample rate Audio? Many who started looking never even made it designing a low sample rate IIR filter on an 8-bit architecture. It's an additive journey, I say use an M4 or M7 and see if you can max it out, then move on. :)
Thank you very much, Lia! The only time I've been limited by the performance is (unsurprisingly) with long convolutions, e.g. for FIR filters. Another thing is the amount of RAM available, which can of course be extended on some STM32s with SRAM. Tbh before the chip shortage the price difference between some M4s and M7s wasn't much, so I'd say just go with whatever the budget allows!
It's sad that, especially as a guy, people don't care about how you feel until it gets bad enough that it's too late. That's why this video is so great, we need to change this.
Thank you for this! I created a basic synthesizer on STM32 but I didn't know how I could implement a filter. I just discovered your channel now, but do you have (or would you consider making) a video about how to do an adjustable cutoff filter like this but using the ARM math library filter functions that come with the STM32 libraries?
Thank you for watching, Jacob! Potentially I'll make a video on using the ARM libraries, however, I usually prefer showing everything 'from scratch' in these videos.
Hi Phil, was really interested in this project and thought I would try and create one with the files you supplied on your git page... sadly JLC are charging quite a bit for some of the real small parts and wondered how difficult the audio codec was to solder? I have done very little SMD but im keen to give this project a go! Thank you for the great video i look forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you :)
At 26:03, why do you have a 0.4dB gain on the passband? Shouldn't it stay flat at 0dB (or potentially a small attenuation)? EDIT: I guess it has to do with the volume control presented later. Should have waited till the end of the video to comment xD

What would be the chances of covering how to decode Dolby Digital, DD+, Atmos, or DTS? Am open source library that allows decoding the latest surround sound stuff would be killer!
I don’t think the built in DACs have sufficient resolution (they are 12-bit) for audio applications, particularly the DAC’s ability to reconstruct a pleasing sounding analog waveform. Most better sounding DAC chips in pleasing sounding effects are 24-bit or 16-bit at the lowest end. Aliasing in algorithms is also something that goes away at higher sampling rates (eg 96 or 192 kHz). You can definitely hear the differences.
Hope you enjoy this video series on DSP for audio! Let me know if you have any questions or comments :)

Careful there Phil, you might start undercutting some pedal companies' $600 effects pedals :)
An experiment I would really like to see is how *underpowered* you can make your hardware and still get some effects going? E.G, what sort of frequency can you run the CPU and still get real-time processing with floating point / integer math?
I pulled apart my Meris Mercury 7 pedal and they’re using an STM32F4… ;)
@@velvetsound That is around £309 ? But it is not an experimentation platform, or? (sorry, besides guitar excursions :) )

(1) NE5534 or something + TLV320AIC, Phil said "very simple" ... and that design is a whole new can of worms
What you try to achieve with your second idea, Matthew, is possibly answered on reddit via "What's the worst pedal you ever bought?", because that is exactly what you are moving towards:)
Sorry for joking(?!?). You can calculate (or measure and then interpolate) the noise and frequency response of digital filters. What I meant is: Be SOME percent over the "shitty sound" margin to have something reliable. Ignore that, if you are Alice Cooper:P
Haha, yes maybe this'll show that it isn't too hard (or costly) to make your own digital effects pedals!
That's a good idea. I'll show some of the limitations of this F405 MCU when we'll look at FIR filters of various lengths. Haven't really tried much signal processing on lower-power MCUs.

I just discovered your channel now, but do you have (or would you consider making) a video about how to do an adjustable cutoff filter like this but using the ARM math library filter functions that come with the STM32 libraries?
Thank you for watching, Jacob! Potentially I'll make a video on using the ARM libraries, however, I usually prefer showing everything 'from scratch' in these videos.
Hi Phil, was really interested in this project and thought I would try and create one with the files you supplied on your git page... sadly JLC are charging quite a bit for some of the real small parts and wondered how difficult the audio codec was to solder? I have done very little SMD but im keen to give this project a go! Thank you for the great video i look forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you :)
At 26:03, why do you have a 0.4dB gain on the passband? Shouldn't it stay flat at 0dB (or potentially a small attenuation)?
EDIT: I guess it has to do with the volume control presented later. Should have waited till the end of the video to comment xD
Exactly, the volume control wasn't centered :)

Please make a tutorial on how to record the audio from mic to sd card or usb 👍🏻
What would be the chances of covering how to decode Dolby Digital, DD+, Atmos, or DTS? Am open source library that allows decoding the latest surround sound stuff would be killer!
I'm afraid that isn't on my list of content to make :/
The bolck diagram is really nice, may I ask how you creat it ? Thank you very much!
Thank you! I used draw.io to create it.
Great series! Since STM32F4 series have built in ADC/DAC, are these built in one able to do the similar thing?
I don’t think the built in DACs have sufficient resolution (they are 12-bit) for audio applications, particularly the DAC’s ability to reconstruct a pleasing sounding analog waveform. Most better sounding DAC chips in pleasing sounding effects are 24-bit or 16-bit at the lowest end. Aliasing in algorithms is also something that goes away at higher sampling rates (eg 96 or 192 kHz). You can definitely hear the differences.
Maybe if you are making a distortion pedal :)
What's the latency? Also great job! SUB!
