## What it is
DaisySP is an open-source C++ digital signal processing library offering modular components for audio synthesis and effects. It targets the Daisy embedded audio platform but also works in plugins, mobile apps, and VCV Rack modules.

## Use cases
- build a synthesizer on embedded hardware
- create audio effects like phaser or overdrive
- implement drum synthesis models in C++
- develop VCV Rack modules
- make a mobile audio app with granular playback
- write physical modeling synthesis code

## When to choose
- you need reusable DSP building blocks in C++
- you're developing for the Daisy audio platform
- you want synthesis primitives like envelopes, filters, and noise generators

## When to avoid
- you need a full audio host or DAW rather than DSP components
- you want a high-level visual programming environment
- you need non-audio signal processing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: audio-processing, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: embedded-systems, hardware
- platform: cpp, embedded, cross-platform
- tags: dsp, synthesizer, audio-synthesis, embedded-audio, music, physical-modeling, effects, daisy-hardware, audio, game-development, mobile, desktop
