Mini Neural Nets for Guitar Effects with Microcontrollers

I've come to realize that constraint drives creativity and innovation. The more options an artist has, the more difficult it can be to think of a solid idea. Without rules in music, the possibilities are so overwhelming that it would be near impossible to write something listenable. It's the rules and restrictions that give structure to an idea. Of course knowing when to break those rules is just as important as knowing what they are.
