So far, it's really been focused on creating sounds from "nothing" (ie no samples), though it can import, play and process sampled sounds as well. Yes and no. The most current release is probably the "unnamed" sound engine of Kobo Deluxe, though I'm just keeping it alive as I'm still using it - no real development. (As of 0.5.1, all sounds are pure modular synthesis - no samples.) http://kobodeluxe.com/ http://www.audiality.org/ The plan is a major rewrite, using EEL for scripting (setup, real time control processing etc) over a properly modular DSP engine (possibly usable as a stand-alone library, without EEL), including modular "massively additive" IFFT synthesis. http://eel.olofson.net/ The goal is to make it all modular, all the way from control data through audio outputs, and optionally off-line/real time, so you can have a "module" adapt to available resources, project requirements, user preferences etc. Think evolved MOD format, including proper sound effect support. You load up a module, which exports a bunch of controls and triggers defined by the module author. Like connecting a studio sampler to the MIDI port and have the "sound guy" programm away on that - only you actually ship with that thing included with the game. When? When I get around to it... :-) Couldn't FMOD or some other popular "game sound engine" do this? I know most of them have sample playback (obviously) and effects, but I don't know how flexible they are when it comes to wiring things together... -- //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .------- http://olofson.net - Games, SDL examples -------. | http://zeespace.net - 2.5D rendering engine | | http://audiality.org - Music/audio engine | | http://eel.olofson.net - Real time scripting | '-- http://www.reologica.se - Rheology instrumentation --'
