Procedural sound in Love ; looking for an example

[trookat]

Hi all , been a while since I have posted . I have taken a interest in procedural generation and I thought i would start with what i consider the hardest, sound.

I am unsure if this is possible using love.sound so I'm asking for a simple example on getting tabled wave data ( from what iv have read ranges from -1 to 1) into a playable sound.

any tips or code will be appreciated

Recently, I attempted the same. Unfortunately, it failed to generate anything near useful.

I'm rather interested in what this turns up, but I have no tips or code that could be of use.

Moan is a good example of procedural sound.

thanks , I'll take a look at it

As just a quick little example:

Code: Select all

local samples = math.floor(.2 * 44100)  --.2 seconds long
local data = love.sound.newSoundData(samples, 44100, 16, 1)
for i = 0,samples do data:setSample(i, (math.random()*2-1)*(1-i/samples)) end
staticBurst = love.audio.newSource(data)

That will give you a burst of static which will fade out.

thank you sooo much is spent a goodly time looking at moan yesterday , and i still could not see the exact minimum needed

You're welcome. Good luck on your project.
