Hi!
KSynth is an "analog synthesizer" running under KDE.
- It uses small modules (e.g. oscillators which create a sinus wave,
various filters, modules which play the generated data on your speakers,
mixers & faders, ...) which can be connected.
- New synthesis modules can easily be written and integrated.
- The synthesizer consists of two parts - a gui where you can connect the
modules - and a low level synthesizer which can execute models.
- The synthesizer and the gui communicate using CORBA.
You will need at least mico-2.0.7 and perhaps (haven't tested without)
egcs, to compile.
And hey - until now I have written code, not documentation, tutorials and
the like. So expect to figure out yourself what it can do and how it works
if you try it. ;)
Look at: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/kde
I think the project really could need more developers now, there is lots
of stuff to do. The perhaps most important points for the future are
- Getting midi events in there
- Creating an "internal midi bus" over which all KDE/midi applications
can communicate
- Writing some kind of sequencing software for KDE (has anyone done this?)
- Creating a gui builder so that you can build a gui for your synthesizer
models. This means as well visual feedback from synthesis. And of course
those nice buttons where you can turn and the sound changes - realtime.
- Thinking more about optimization.
- Adding configure to the source tree, and make it work on various
installations (linux with gcc-2.7.2.3/egcs-1.0.2/gcc-2.8.x and mico
with/without mini-stl).
Cu... Stefan
