This MQP has produced the following materials:
- DACS Model 411, an automated, self-contained line-level mixer
in a 3-space rack-mount form factor. The prototype unit supports 32
balanced or unbalanced inputs, eight balanced outputs, and eight unbalanced
outputs. The prototype can mix 32x4, 16x8, 8x16, or 4x8x4 channels,
and is expandible to 32x16 capability.
- DACS Model 112, a self-contained system
control board. Traditional audio controls such as faders and buttons
are presented, with the addition of liquid
crystal and LED displays. The board provides a powerful, intuitive
way to use and program the components of the DACS.
- Linux backend software, cdaudio_daemon, a
software component to provide integration of the audio functionality
of computer-hosted compact disc drives with DACS. TCP/IP is employed
as a means of communication with other DACS elements, furthering the
distributed concept.
- Linux backend software, midictrl, a software
component that brings DACS support to off-the-shelf MIDI packages such as
Cakewalk Pro Audio. The software performs appropriate
translations to allow bidirectional interoperation between MIDI
devices and the subsystems of DACS.
- Design Specification, this document. This document details
the design and development of both the completed and uncompleted portions
of the project. The design sections for firmware and software are
obvious starting points for expansion and improvement of the project.
