Elevating String Synthesis Using CYCLONE V

The pupils developed variations of 4 tracks, consisting of "Color Styles of the Wind" from the Pocahontas soundtrack, "Far Above Cayuga's Seas" (Cornell's University), and John Tale's "Every One of Me". A basic GUI enables the customer to choose a track and also to pick which tool or tools to play, giving several variants for every tune.

The group utilized the Kaplus-Strong string synthesis technique to create a triad of four-stringed tools to be played by the Cyclone V FPGA. A C program operating on the growth board's ARM 9 HPS works as a song sequencer, regulating pace as well as informing the FPGA which is kept in mind to play.
