Synth builder · C++ / JUCE audio developer · Norwich, UK

I'm building Orbiton, an exciting and novel portable synthesiser with a unique interface.

I also help companies build audio plugins and applications in C++ with JUCE.

Most of my time goes into Orbiton — the hardware, the firmware and the instrument design.

I've just finished BLResampler, an open-source C++ application for generating band-limited wavetables.

Reading The Patterning Instinct by Jeremy Lent.
