[Rleease] - Guitar Effects Processor 1.0 - PSP-Hacks Competition 2007

[rocamatics]

Hi Homebrewers!!!

I am ROCAMATICS (previously know as CHAPACO) and this is my first PSP homebrew!! I'm introducing for first time this app (GUITARBOX) for the PSP-Hacks 2007 Homebrew Contest (http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=76672).

GuitarBOX is a GUITAR REAL TIME EFFECTS PROCESSOR (a.k.a. MultiFx Processor). Althought is main purpose is to process a guitar signal, you can use it with any electric instrument, even a single standard PC MIC!!!.

You can download it from http://www.sendspace.com/file/iqi9dq




By now, it contains the following (REAL TIME, very low latency) effects:

- Noise Suppresor
- Phaser
- Distortion (overdrive type)
- Delay
- Equalizer (3-band)

In order to start using this multifx unit you need:

- An Electric/Acoustic Guitar (or any electric instrument, even a Microphone)
- The audio connection described in any of these:

DONT BE AFRAID TO BUILD THIS CONNECTOR!!!, is very cheap and easy to make!!!.

- ..and headphones (or speakers).


Just plug the instrument or mic in the PSP using the home-made audio connector, start GuitarBox from XMB and you will be ROCKING!!!.
I've tested it with 1.50 (kxploit) and works fine.

For the future releases I'd like to add:

- A REAL Guitar Tuner
- Recording Capabilities (like audio mechanica!)
- Flanger, Chorus, Tube Screamer, Pitch Shifter and Auto Wah!!!
- Less latency!!!!!!!!!!!

I think audio is a VERY INTERESTING area of reasearch for the PSP given its processor and audio capabilities. Soon I'll post my website to track all this, meanwhile let's use the wonderful forums provided by the community.

BTW, I'm from Tarija - Bolivia, South America!!! Hope to have your comments to rocamatics at gmail.com.

Long life to the PSP-Homebrew!!! THX Dark Alex!!!.
