Leslie speaker simulator

Mini-project for Sound Processing (AAU SMC 2018)

Abstract

This archive presents a virtual simulation of the Leslie Speaker commonly found in Hammond electric organs.
The digital effect has been developed using the FAUST programming language, and then ported into a VST-compatible format using the JUCE C++ framework.

A paper detailing the models and implementation can be found in the report directory. Slides for this project can be found at https://slides.com/riccardomiccini/deck/live.

Instructions

Test DSP

  • show interactive block diagram
  • export (e.g. VST, standalone, android app...)
• note: the user interface and performances differ from the JUCE version
• note: the graph bars on the UI show the angles of the rotating motors and the position of the read and write buffer pointers

Build project

• run Projucer
• open juce/LeslieSim/LeslieSim.jucer
• generate exporters for desired platform
• compile using selected plaftorm
• note: the compilation should return a VST as well as a stand-alone version
