Tactus Audio – Practical DSP
made for ears, not labs

Tactus Audio is a hobby project and learning resource focused on practical, real-time audio DSP—especially using microcontrollers and FPGAs. It’s for makers, musicians, tinkerers, and embedded nerds who like to build things that make noise.

You'll find working code, real-time audio projects, and tutorials aimed at people who'd rather hear results than do the math.

Because audio DSP doesn’t have to be expensive, theoretical, or locked away in academic papers. This is hands-on, accessible, and open source.

If you can’t hear it make a difference, remove it.

  • Practical over perfect

  • Real-time over real-complicated

  • Music-first, math-second

  • Code that’s hackable, not impenetrable

Who’s behind this?

I'm a lifelong embedded engineer with 40+ years in the industry and a side passion for audio. I grew up during the analog synth boom, worked as a performing and recording musician in studios in the '80s and '90s, and now enjoy building DSP toys in my spare time.

This isn’t my day job—it’s my hobby. And if you like to code, build, ,and produce with your own custom gear , maybe it's yours too.
