The Boston Audio Engineering Society Presents
Rocking the Boat
By Bob Chidlaw
Bringing innovation and fresh thinking to a now mature audio effects market



Tuesday Oct 14th, 7pm
Devlin Hall Room 026– Boston College

Discussion of the product definition process and engineering issues involved in the creation of the wireless accelerometer controller.

Bob will also discuss details of the DSP effects algorithms and give audio examples played on a guitar in real time.

You’ll also get the chance to try the gear out for yourself.

Bob Chidlaw has a physics degree from MIT.  He spent ten years doing image processing at Eikonix Corp.  He was amazed at how much easier signal processing was in one (time) dimension than two (space) dimensions, when he moved to Kurzweil Music Systems to work on digital music synthesizers.While there, he architected a number of DSP chips, thus having only himself to blame as he was trying to write code for them.

Currently at Source Audio, Bob tries to make sure that the company's effects pedals sound really really good. At home, he enjoys his collection of vintage guitar amplifiers and synthesizers, although he has been known to pull out a banjo now and then.

Directions can be found here (you will want the Chestnut Hill Campus). Devlin Hall is in about the middle of the map. Parking is available in the Commonwealth Ave lot. Room 026 can be entered directly on the rear of Devlin Hall.
