Mozzi - Arduino synthesis at its best!

It's been a little while since my last post, and I didn't want to neglect my blog!    I've been making good progress (considering how little time I've had available lately) on my RGB Matrix Button Pad.    I've got the LED's sorted, and I've got the buttons reading in data (altho, it doesn't seem quite right).  So, the next step there is to implement whatever serial protocol i decide on  (likely will be arduinome variant).

I ran across this library today during my routine geek searches.  It's called Mozzi (http://sensorium.github.io/Mozzi/) and it looks pretty cool indeed!  

From the Mozzi Homepage:

Currently your Arduino can only beep like a microwave oven. Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by allowing it to produce much more complex and interesting growls, sweeps and chorusing atmospherics. These sounds can be quickly and easily constructed from familiar synthesis units like oscillators, delays, filters and envelopes. 
You can use Mozzi to generate algorithmic music for an installation or performance, or make interactive sonifications of sensors, on a small, modular and super cheap Arduino, without the need for additional shields, message passing or external synths.

How cool is that?!   Implementing oscillators, envelopes, filters and more, with a very simple, streamlined arduino library.   I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on it!!
