Delianiser Reference

Project information

The Delianiser is a historically constrained audio-systems design project exploring the upper limits of what could have been built in 1964 using a network-oriented signal/control architecture (rather than a track-oriented workflow), informed by the experimental lineage of Daphne Oram and Delia Derbyshire. It also forward-tracks the architecture into modern technology to test whether a DAW derived from this pedigree can form a useful strict functional superset of the 1964 design.

This module contains the 1964 reference implementation. It is possible to use this in isolation to simulate how the technology of the time would have worked. The Implementation module shows the changes relative to the baseline.
