GO FORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Tom Schouten and Aymeric Mansoux
Go forth! Is ½ day workshop in which we show you how to build a cheap synth from scratch using CAT/PURRR.
PURRR is a dialect of FORTH, while CAT is a similar dialect which has different properties. Both of them work together as one system. PURRR is a very flexible language for low level programming. CAT is a very flexible language for high level programming. The idea behind the CAT/PURRR combo is to make the language (PURRR) and metalanguage (CAT) optimized for their respective tasks, without making them all too different.
In this workshop, you start with building a serial connection, going with a 18F chip running the
PURRR monitor, and a monitor application running in CAT. Once you've got that going, you are
basically set, and ready to start programming.
Basic workshop layout:
- Toys: showcase of different PF/purrr applications
- Introduction to purrr: the Forth that makes your chip purrr
- Making noise with purrr: getting sound out of the PIC chip
- Fun with purrr: write your own synthesizer
- Communication PF/purrr: link pf with your hardware synthesizer
