Moan (sound synthesis for löve)

Post by vrld »

The last week I spent coding stuff with löve (it has been a long time since I was that obsessed writing code - thank you guys, it is a great feeling!). The months before that I looked into sound synthesis. I thought it would be a good idea to combine löve and sound synthesis and thus Moan was created.

Moan lets you create samples in Lua which can then be played back by using an audio source. I used this technique to create sound effects for my version of Pong, but that is another story. Moan is just a single .lua file which is available at my git repo: http://www.github.com/vrld/Moan.

I have assembled three demos - a virtual keyboard, a sequencer and a weird thing with colored circles - so you can see what YOU can do using Moan. I was to lazy to write a reference and/or introduction yet, but you can look at the examples to see how things work (I suggest to start with the keyboard demo).

Let me know what you think about it :megagrin:

Edit2: Since no one will read the readme on github, I included a help button. (attachment updated)

Not entirely sure what you mean, but saving would be against my principle that art should be temporary. Also, I am to lazy to implement a save function...

Only discovered now Moan. Since attachment is gone I download the one from repository. I believe in sequencer there is a kind of problem since it's possible to have negative bpm (it's a bit ironical that negative bmp are faster than hell! ;) )

I understand the "arty" concept of "ephmerous" one-time music but I also would like to see an save/load option. :)

Also the blue in black keys aren't well readable...

Very nice piece of audioware!

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

I still want to learn though :(

Why did you have to name this suggestively?

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