October 2006 Cyclone II FPGA Starter Development Kit User Guide

Advanced Examples

The block diagram (Figure 6–2) shows that the Music Synthesizer

comprises four major blocks:

■ DEMO_SOUND stores a sample sound for the user to play.

■ PS2_KEYBOARD processes user input from the PS/2 keyboard.

■ STAFF displays the corresponding keyboard diagram on the VGA

monitor when a key is pressed

■ TONE_GENERATOR represents the core of the music synthesizer

SOC.

Use SW9 to switch the music source between PS2_KEYBOAD and the

DEMO_SOUND block. To repeat the demo sound, press KEY1.

The TONE_GENERATOR can produce two tones, (1) String and (2)

Brass, selected by SW0. The audio CODEC used on the development

board has two channels, turned ON/OFF by SW1 and SW2.
