Hello.
I today made an initial "nerd-only" release of Mono, which is a real-time
monophonic synthesizer with a GUI.
* All ingredients for a monophonic cult synth: :-)
- Square/sawtooth oscillator (not yet bandlimited)
- 4-pole all-pole low-pass filter
- ADR envelope generator
- 16-step pattern sequencer
* Butt-ugly GUI with controls borrowed from TB-303:
- waveform select
- oscillator tuning
- filter cutoff frequency
- filter resonance
- envelope modulation amount
- envelope decay time
- accent amount
* Real-time audio output on Linux and theoretically also IRIX and Solaris
* LOT of debugging garbage printed
* Initial release
Homepage: http://mono.sourceforge.net
As this is a very early release, there's still *caugh* some problems:
* oscillator is not properly bandlimited
* sliders aren't quite calibrated
* butt-ugly GUI :)
* minor malfunctions (bugs? features?)
* there is no sequencer button feedback during playback
* there are no tones synthesized during sequencer programming
* audio hardware configuration is selected at *compile* time
* sound file write is selected at *compile* time and doesn't work with
RT audio output
The actual download (http://download.sourceforge.net/mono/mono-0.1.0.tar.gz)
is a mere 63 kB, mainly due to the lengthy requirements list:
* Sonic Flow version >= 0.1.3; requires
- libsoundfile version >= 1.0.0
* Gtk-- version >= 1.1.8; requires
- GTK+/Glib version >= 1.2.5
- libsigc++ version >= 0.8.5
* libaudiohw version >= 0.2.0; requires
- libsoundfile version >= 1.0.0
- libpbd version >= 1.0.0
- libsigc++ version >= 0.8.5
* POSIX threading (libpthread)
* C++ Standard Template Library
Anyway, enjoy and send feedback and collaboration requests to me!
