LabVIEW based electric guitar effects pedals


Download: iPod

A video from NIWeek 2008. Benjamin Cook really had fun building this electric guitar effects system based around NI hardware and LabVIEW.

This is a wireless audio processing project. A 550 MHz transmitter transmits FM modulated data to a 5600 down converter. It down converts the data to 25MHz. That gets sent to a 5640R IF-RIO card. The IF-RIO card has an FPGA. That’s where all the demodulation and audio processing happens which then gets sent out the sound card. You get very low latency audio response.

  1. Nitin says:

    Can this be done without any hardware? I mean using just the line in of a sound card to line out? or will that result in high latency?

  2. guitar says:

    Sounds like line6 competition.

  3. PAllen says:

    I remember seeing this as NI Week. Ever since I’ve been looking for the code that was used to produce the effects. Will this code ever be posted anywhere?

New ExpressionFlow Studio video series

As you know, here at VI Shots we love video. So I’m excited that one of our favorite blogs has started producing a new series of videos focusing on LabVIEW Object-Oriented programming. I’ve embedded the first video above.
Tomi’s done a great job on the graphics, and he cuts from wide to close up shots nicely. [...]

Goldfish following camera powered by LabVIEW

Well, this video could use some editing but here it is. A totally useless application demonstrating the vision capabilities of LabVIEW. Watch a camera mounted on an X-Y motion platform tracking the movements of a goldfish in a fish tank.

Free Spore creature creator

I just downloaded the free Spore creature creator. I created my first creature, took some photos of it and even uploaded a video to Youtube directly from the software. All of the above in just half an hour of playing with it. It’s pretty slick.
I gotta hand it to the creators for coming up with [...]

Styrobots help Robotgrrl fund her school tuition

I always do what Google tells me to do. A few weeks ago my Google reader suggested that I should follow the robotgrrl blog RSS feed. So I did. This blog is about robotics from a Montreal, Canada High School girls point of view. Erin loves robots. So much so that she applied to the [...]

Slashbot Update – It’s finished!

We were the first to blog about Slashbot back in March. Now, Slashbot is Internet famous after it was featured on Engadget. It now has 177K+ hits on Youtube. A record for any video featuring LabVIEW or NI technology. I like the fact that it uses solenoids to hit the guitar buttons. This means it [...]
