Readme below was written for my final year project at university, which was submitted April 8th 2019. The commit containing that code has hash 37d173a.
Some minor tweaks have been made to remove the paid version of FontAwesome and replace with Heroicons.
Otherwise the project is kept as-is to reflect how it behaved for my dissertation, warts and all!
Notably, it's built quite differently to how I'd build an app like this today, with more commercial experience.

- Innovative sample-based granular synthesis
- Individual and global effects processors
- Fully integrated MIDI-based hardware control with learning
Steps:
