HI!

I'm a Music technology student in Ukraine Kiev, and the is a new course in Electronic university about Principles of Design in QUARTUS II medium and Altera Devises... I wanted to know Im I capable to past this coarse or not? this coarse includes five lessons (4 hours each) and consists of a theoretical and a practical part based on modules Cyclone Nios Development Board... I know about theory of signal processing and sound synthesis, I do work with MAX/MSP but I'm new to circuit design and C program... please tell me what is the minimum information which I need to take this coarse and how it is profitable for a Sound Producer... Thanks a lot, sorry about poor languagehttp://www.alteraforum.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

    hello remi,

    i think you should take the class. max/msp should already be familiarizing you with programming and system design. the class may not teach you audio specific design, but the basics will allow you to start building projects you have in mind in hardware. things like blinking LED can be related to sequencers, and multipliers, adders, and delays are the fundamentals of DSP.

    i really do think if you can handle MAX/MSP you can probably pick up FPGA.
