Spin FV-1 Emulator Simplifies Sound Pedal Development

If you’ve never heard of the Spin Semiconductors FP-1 digital signal processor chip, don’t worry– that just means you haven’t been deep into guitar petals and audio effects hardware lately. [avr] has, and he’s gone to the point of creating a PC-based emulator of this sound chip to simplify development. If you don’t see the utility, stop and think about the development cycle without a simulation like this: you program, you flash to a board, and you test there.
