Synthadeus - A Digital Synthesizer in C++ Class project for CSC4330 https://github.com/evenam/Synthadeus Synthadeus is a new kind of synthesizer. Using time-domain DSP approximation algorithms and allowing for variable input parameters, Synthadeus gives artist a very high degree of control over the sound creation process. The audio flow is composed of a directed acyclic dataflow graph. This will chain various oscillators, envelopes, etc. together to create a desired sound. Key fearures of Synthadeus include: * Highly parameterized audio graph nodes. * Waveform file export. * Realtime resampled playback. * MIDI controller support. * ASIO device support. Building the Project * The latest version of the project source can be downloaded from https://github.com/evenam/Synthadeus. - Alternatively, use 'git clone https://github.com/evenam/Synthadeus.git' to clone in your working directory. * The project is designed for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10. * The solution and project files are for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community. (With the C++ tools installed.) * To compile to project using the project files provided: 1) Assert you have the appropriate system. 2) Assert you have Direct2D/DirectWrite binaries installed. 3) Assert you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community installed. 4) Assert you have the C++ tools installed for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community. 4) Open the solution ('Synthadeus/Synthadeus.sln') in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community. 5) Double check your the project properties, under VC++ Directories, that you have the following include directories listed: - $(ProjectDir)/app - $(ProjectDir)/audio - $(ProjectDir)/audio/external - $(ProjectDir)/audio/graph - $(ProjectDir)/render - $(ProjectDir)/render/geoms - $(ProjectDir)/platform - $(ProjectDir)/common - $(ProjectDir)/ux_comp - $(ProjectDir)/ux_comp/base 6) Make sure the build target platform is x86 the configuration is Debug or Release. 7) Build the project with Crtl-Alt-F7. * Once the project is built, press F5 to run it. For a detailed view of the changes of the files over time, please refer to the GitHub page network graph for the project. (https://github.com/evenam/Synthadeus/network) User Guide: Synthadeus has online documentation at http://everettmoser.me/synthesizer/. Use a QWERTY keyboard layout if no midi controller is present. Overview of controls: * Synthadeus has the following viewport controls: 1) Arrow keys move the view around the graph. 2) The Enter key centers the view back to the default position. * Synthadeus support the following global commands: 1) Right clicking on the default pane brings up the command menu. 2) F5 exports the waveform to the user's desired location. 3) Escape quits Synthadeus. * Synthadeus graph nodes support the following manipulations: 1) Left click and drag a graph node to move it. 2) Right click a graph node to delete it. (NOTE: The audio endpoint node CANNOT be deleted.) 3) Left click and drag connector dots to other connector dots to create connections between nodes. 4) Right click a connector to remove all connections with that connector. * Playback within Synthadeus uses most of the remaining general alpha-numerical keys. It's intuitive with C5 as Q/M keys. Dependencies - Windows, DirectX, PortAudio, PortMidi More specifically, this app uses 1) PortAudio (http://www.portaudio.com/) 2) PortMidi (http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/) 3) Direct2D, DirectWrite, and the Windows API (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library) * Binary builds for PortAudio (both with and without ASIO) and PortMidi are provided. * Please install the DirectX SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812) if you do not already have the Direct2D or DirectWrite binaries. Description of Project Directories * Common: files common to various aspects or the catch-all category * Render: files involved with controlling Direct2D * App: files involved with the main application logic * Audio: files involved with controlling PortAudio * Platform: files involved with handling the Windows API * UX_Comp: files related to creating GUI components Style: Adhere as much as possible to the style. Refractor when possible to keep it consistent. * Prefer stack allocation over heap * Short circuit optimize ifs and whiles * Put the { on a separate line * Prefer // comments over /* c-style */ * Keep global namespace relatively clear - Don't use macros unless it gives a clear advantage - If you use a file-local macro, be sure to #undef it - Use static "file-global" constants to remove magic numbers * Don't commit to origin-master (pull only) * #pragma once header guard * #pragma comment .lib files in as needed * Use asserts, DebugPrintf, RTTI_MACRO, and inheriting from Object to help with error reporting * Make sure to check for Windows error codes from functions that return RESULT * Make sure to check for Windows error codes from functions that return NULL * Handle as many errors as possible in release build (report the errors too!) * Have fun! :D
