Is it just me or are there a disproportional amount of DSP programmers/developers from Finland ? Sometimes it feels like half of the DSP related articles i read are written by someone from Finland and they're just shy of 5.5 million people over there.

Could be the Baader Meinhof phenomenon (hey i just learned this on Wikipedia,it's when you start to notice something odd you see it everywhere). I'm thinking it could be a Nokia effect perhaps ? Or is it just an illusion ? Do they teach DSP at kindergarten ? Just curious.

At school they taught me how to be.
So pure in thought and word and deed.
They didn't quite succeed.

Well they don't have much to do there apart from mobile phone throwing, rally driving and coding. Razz

It's true they have to spend quite a lot inside because it's so frikkin cold .. So they have some time to learn ins and outs of dsp magic.. But still there's not actually much in terms of audio software coming from Finland .. Only ANtti's synth comes to my mind now

Developers! Developers! Your plug-ins should be circuit modeled!!! It's the shizzz! Also don't forget oversampling & 0dfb filters!

I doubt the cold has much to do with it. Sweden,Norway and Canada are pretty damn cold too most of the year.

Yeah, I think this is the reason. There's not many places like that, where DSP for musical applications is pushed forward.

Hi. I'm one Finnish dsp fan too Smile

I've only released eq's(with saturation) and synth integration plugins(for DSI synths).. and done some basic dynamics and effects, but just for my own use. Guess i have to release them and my synth soon too.. To boost the Finnish image even more =)

Btw. I come from here: http://www.tut.fi/en/units/departments/signal-processing/

Maybe it's the cold -> spend more time indoors - cracking the books, thinking etc. So I blame the African sun for my stupidity Razz

Btw, it's winter here, about 12 degrees Celsius, and I'm freezing my butt off Very Happy

Yeah, but indoors you have central heating or something similiar. Here you have bricks and a blanket. Smile

Hell, we're 64 million and add 11 languages to that. And I'm the only DSP freak here Confused
