I’m looking for an experienced **embedded audio/DSP engineer** to assist with a paid feasibility study and proof-of-concept for a new guitar project.

The project involves processing **six independent piezo string signals** in real time and evaluating an embedded DSP platform such as Daisy for the prototype.

The initial technical goals are:

- Six independent piezo/string inputs

- Appropriate high-impedance analog front end

- Multichannel A/D conversion

- Very-low-latency DSP

- Independent per-string processing

- High-quality acoustic instrument/body modeling

- Per-string pitch shifting for alternate tunings

- Convincing 12-string processing

- D/A conversion to a conventional guitar/line-level output

- Evaluation of Daisy versus other appropriate embedded DSP hardware

The first phase is **not development of a finished commercial guitar**. I want to establish technical feasibility and develop a working bench prototype.

### Ideal background

I’m especially interested in someone with experience in several of the following:

- Embedded C/C++

- Real-time audio DSP

- Daisy / ARM Cortex-M / SHARC or comparable DSP platforms

- Multichannel ADC/DAC and audio codecs

- Low-latency pitch shifting

- Polyphonic or per-string audio processing

- Piezo pickup electronics

- Guitar or other musical-instrument electronics

- Acoustic instrument/body modeling

- PCB/electronics development

Experience developing commercial musical equipment, guitar processors, pedals, synthesizers, or similar embedded audio products would be particularly valuable.

### Initial engagement

I envision beginning with a **paid, limited-scope feasibility/architecture phase**.

The initial deliverables would likely include:

1. Review the technical requirements.

2. Recommend an appropriate DSP/ADC/DAC architecture.

3. Determine whether Daisy is suitable or whether another processor/platform would be preferable.

4. Identify expected latency, processing-power, and signal-separation limitations.

5. Develop a plan and cost estimate for a six-channel proof-of-concept.

6. If appropriate, proceed to development of the prototype.

I am a musician and long-time user of acoustic modeling instruments, so I can provide extensive hands-on evaluation of the sound and playability during development.

This is a **paid project** , and remote collaboration is fine.

If interested, please send me a private message with:

- Relevant DSP/audio projects you have worked on

- Your embedded hardware/software experience

- Any guitar or musical-instrument development experience

- Your availability

- Your typical consulting rate or project-rate structure

I’m happy to discuss additional product details privately once we determine there is a good technical fit. Some later-stage information may be shared under an NDA.
