Coding Projects

Donwsampler Tonal

Downsampler Tonal” is a VST3 audio plugin that I developed as a final degree project. This sound effect, programmed in C++ with JUCE and designed in MATLAB, combines two chain effects. The first is a downsampling effect, which generates a digital distortion, and the second is a multi-notch IIR Butterworth filter that removes all frequencies outside the G Major scale, between 300 Hz and 8000 Hz. Thus, a digital distortion with better tonal integration in the musical piece is achieved.


Skills:
JUCE version 8.0.1,
C++ version 1.21.6,
MATLAB version R2023b
