+The goal of this project is to build a synthesizer with an STM32H755 utilizing a hardware-agnostic synthesizer library.
+
+Right now the project consists of the following components:
+
+[dsp](https://github.com/GregShiner/unnamed-synth-dsp):
+
+  The primary synthesizer and digital signal processing library. This is a hardware-agnostic, `#![no_std]` library crate. 
+  This means that it can be built to target both normal application CPUs and OSs, but also embedded systems
+  While it is being purpose built for this STM32H755 based project, there isn't a whole lot stopping you from using it
+  in just about any other project. It's primary dependancy is [dasp](https://docs.rs/dasp/latest/dasp/index.html), which itself has no other dependancies.
+  It is built without any features that require allocations or the standard library.
+
+[test interface](https://github.com/GregShiner/unnamed-synth-test-interface):
+
+  This is a simple desktop GUI application that serves to demonstrate, test, and debug the functionality of the dsp library without the need for an embedded board. 
+  It contains some simple controls to configure an oscillator, and a simple oscilloscope to visualize the output. This is a very rudementary program primarily used for
+  my own development efforts on the core dsp library. Don't expect too much here lol.
