Explore the potential of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) for real-time audio signal processing in this 20-minute conference talk from the Audio Developer Conference. Discover the advantages of FPGAs, including unparalleled latency performance, computational power, and ability to process numerous audio channels in parallel at high sampling rates. Learn about the open-source SyFaLa toolchain, which enables programming Xilinx FPGAs using the Faust language. Examine various applications highlighting FPGA capabilities in audio, such as spatial audio, high sampling rate computing, and active control of room acoustics. Gain insights from Romain Michon, a faculty researcher at INRIA and expert in Faust programming, as he discusses the FAST project aimed at simplifying FPGA programming for real-time audio processing and exploring its use in room acoustics control.
