I just made a video of a synth that I wrote in c
(except for some 4
point interpolation code adapted from pd, the audio code is all mine,
based on ideas presented in "the computer music tutorial" by Cecil
Rhodes), with a c++ fltk gui (the waveform editing widgets are all
custom made). I warn you before you click on the link, it is not a
composition, just a brief run through of what you can do with two
instances plugged into one another. Oh, and it is designed to sound
kind of like Merzbow, or Iannis Xenakis, and if you don't know those
names, you will probably hate it (and most of the people who do know
those names hate their music too, I am too old to try being an
ambassador for the style anymore). Anyway, keep the volume levels
low, and an open mind, and feel free to check it out. Here is an
example of the synth <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrQPm5DXL3Q>. I
am considering figuring out autotools and how to make debian packages
and distributing it for others to use, but I am not sure how many
people would find it useful, compared to the amount of work it takes
to maintain a GPL'd package.
Thanks, looks like a fun synth, from what I can tell from the video.
I don't know Xenakis (altough heard the name), know a little of Merzbow
and like the noise of Maurizio Bianchi quite a lot, but not too
often ;)
I have no knowledge in build systems or packaging, but the move appears
to be away from autotools and to scons and similar system.
I look forward to trying your synth
