As I promised to David, i'll tell you something about the source of some of my last commits:
First, some background. About eight months ago, there was a foundation of something like an "audio club" in my university. As soon i learned about that, i quickly got in touch with them and noticed that there was a major interest in analog issues (the only audio area with at least elective, courses in the university). So i told them about all the cool things that are available and ready to do with digital audio, mostly signal processing related. I talked in general, but of course i also talked about clam, with all its prototyping, real-time and easy development of plugins features. Even many of them ended installing and using it, and some even developing with more or less help. One thing to notice is that most of them are students from first years and most (but not all) are students with a basic programming level (because they are from electronics) but strong dsp knowledge (behind this is an university with more emphasis in theory than practice) We started specifying plugins from a more abstract level (inputs/outputs/controls) and generating the source code base using CLAM's Templated Plugins Code Generator [2] and prototyping some simple applications. But one of the things we ended up doing was to take advantage of clam as platform to prototype medic related applications like filter ECG signal from noise in realtime, and some like _vice-versa_, i mean applying some processing knowledge from that area to audio. Some of that work (one hour per week average) it's now in the repo, most remarkable i think are filters work, by above the adaptative notch one (which even was used as a demo of a talk of one of the members about the steepest descent algorithm and its application to filter ECG signals) Let's see what happen this year.
