Algorithmic sound on the Arduino

My final project for Performing Technology and Algorithmic Composition is to build a "hybrid instrument", one that will take input from a performer but also generate significant parts of the output via algorithmic means.

I want to make this instrument self-contained, so I've been working on a polyphonic sound synthesis technique using the Arduino microcontroller.

Today I implemented the "Seven Bridges of Konigsberg" assignment entirely on the Arduino.

Click here to listen to a sample of the output from the Arduino.

Click here to compare it to the Processing + Csound version.

Getting to this is an important milestone, since I have ended up building quite robust systems for scheduling and manipulating sounds using this synthesis technique.
