GO FORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 by "Tom Schouten":CvTom and "Aymeric Mansoux":CvAymeric

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
