Day 1
Simple Gain Controller
import("filter.lib"); process = *(hslider("gain",0.5,0,1,0.01)) : smooth(0.999);
Simple Sine Oscillator Synthesizer
import("music.lib"); import("filter.lib"); g = hslider("myParameter",0,0,1,0.01); freq = hslider("frequency",440,50,1000,0.1); myOsc(frequency,gain) = osc(frequency)*(smoothGain) with{ // the smooth(0.999) function interpolates the different values of gain so that it doesn't click smoothGain = gain : smooth(0.999); }; process = myOsc(freq,g) ;
Working with Signals
process = _ <: _,_,_,_ :> _;
is the same as:
process = _ <: _+_+_+_;
Simple Panner
import("filter.lib"); // the metadata "[style:knob]" turns the horizontal slider into a knob pan = hslider("pan [style:knob]",0.5,0,1,0.01) : smooth(0.999); process = _ <: *(pan),*(1-pan);
Additive Synthesizer
import("music.lib"); import("effect.lib"); gain = hslider("gain",0,0,1,0.01) : smooth(0.999); freq = hslider("freq",440,50,1000,0.1) : smooth(0.999); // the smooth function can be used as a simple envelope generator for gate gate = button("gate") : smooth(0.999); process = osc(freq),osc(freq*2),osc(freq*3) :> *(gain)*gate <: _,_;
The last line of the code can be replaced by:
process = par(i,3,osc(freq*(i+1))) :> *(gain)*gate <: _,_;
or
process = sum(i,3,osc(freq*(i+1))) : *(gain)*gate <: _,_;
Wave Shape Synthesis
saw1(freq) // Sawtooth wave lf_imptrain(freq) // Impulse train lf_squarewave(freq) // Square wave
