Moan (sound synthesis for löve)

[Jasoco]

TNTBasic had a feature called Moan. But it was for sprite scripting.

Why did you have to name this suggestively?

How is moan suggestive?

I added a simple save/load option for the sequencer. You can trade sequences by looking into the love save directory. The file moan/moan-sequencer.txt contains a line with a lot of numbers that represent the state. By writing that file you can import other peoples saves. The piece from the video would be

Code: Select all

0,1024,0,32,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,4;0,0,0,0,32,0,8,8,4,1,0,1024,512,0,0,0;1024,0,32,0,0,0,0,0,0,512,0,0,0,0,512,1024;0,32,0,2048,0,0,1024,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

This is not exactly user friendly right now, but better that than nothing

I'd like to see a menu to alter the sound patches wired up to that sequencer.

I don't think that I will implement this (because I am lazy). You can however experiment with different sounds if you change the function createSample in sequencer.lua.

I'd love to be able to create sounds with Lovem but the source code makes me :sad: and vrld explaining it to me would make me :sad:.

You can use moan.lua as a library for basic sound creation. You will need some level of understanding about music that I don't have to do what redlock did, though. I could write up some sort of tutorial on how to use moan if you are interested.

Ah nice.

It would be cool if the sound synthesis is done in cpp. I like to suggest to add sfxr to the love functions. Using sfxr we also have a frontend for linux/win to generate the sound seeds.

I like to suggest to add sfxr to the love functions.

I'm not sure how that would work.

I talked with bartbes about it, to include the sound generation function directly into love 0.7.0 .

I'm doing a Music Tech degree at University with emphasis, in coming years, on sound design. This is why I want to get a head start on writing sound creation programs. I'll get you t help me out in IRC at some point in the future (once Uni has finished for the year).
