Ground 2

Development plan

See Zenboard on github. Here's an initial sketch of what's required.

1. Music theory lib

   • Create a good music theory library of modular functionality that can later be used by generators
   • Write some demo example

2. Synthesis lib

   • Create some wave types
   • Implement filter chaining
   • Implement ADSR filter
   • Implement reverb filter
   • Write some demo examples

3. Sound mixer lib

   • Use synthesis lib and write a mixer
   • Write some demo examples

4. Generator lib

   • Write a generator library. It should be possible to send commands to a generator while it's running.
   • There will probably be many generators running at once; one for the large scale structure of the piece(s), one per instrument, and probably lots of others. They may or may not appear in tree-like structures. Let's flesh that out while it's implemented. We may want to do this with Rx streams.
   • Write some demo examples.

5. Music parser

   • Make a parser converting generator output to sounds

6. Connect the dots

   • Write a generator and connect it to a synth

7. Optimize

   • Make it all run smoothly

8. Later TODOs

   • Sampling
   • FFT of samples
   • Synthesis from Fourier coefficients
