# STK on Bela

An example project to use Bela with the STK Synthesis Toolkit.

## Prerequisites:

Install STK. This can be done with apt-get install libstk, or by cloning the STK source code on your Bela board and running, from within the stk folder:

./configure && make && make install && ldconfig

Usage:

With the Bela IDE

• Open the Bela IDE, create a new C++ project, drag and drop the files from this repo in the project.
• Hit run.
• Enjoy the STK sinewaves.

Under the hood

The options specified in settings.json (which are visualized in the IDE's project settings) pass to make the option LDLIBS=-lstk which tells the linker to link to libstk.

### From the command line

Just build a regular Bela project and link to libstk:

make -C ~/Bela PROJECT=bela-stk LDLIBS=-lstk run

More fun

This project is based on the example in stk/proects/examples/sine.cpp, but instead of writing the output to a file, it writes it to the Bela audio output. Look for other examples in that folder to have more fun with STK and learn how to use it. Also, refer to the STK docs for more details.
