Simple synthesizer for STM32F401RE/STMstation.

Dependencies:   FastPWM mbed-dsp

This is a basic synthesizer to play music on the STM32F401RE Nucleo/STMstation development board:

Please see the API documentation for further details.

Here's a demo of the synthesizer at work in a music composing program on the STMstation. This one is "Miku" by Anamanaguchi.
