Sound Generator with Nodal Interface

I don't have a good name at this time, but this software will be renamed later.

Description

This software is a nodal editor that allow you to create sounds from several generators (sine wave, square wave, etc.) and modulate them (frequency, amplitude, etc.) and modify them (delay, repeat, etc.).

Warnings

This is currently in alpha version.
It still lack of features and components: there a lot more to be done.
But the software is fully functionnal and have all the core features.
See the roadmap to beta version to get an idea of what is still to be done.

There is currently only Windows 8/10 builds
If you want this software on other platform, please download Qt and build it yourself (see the Technical Informations section to get Qt).
You can also contribute by providing your build to share it with other people.

Controls

Press any buttons from the left side to add a component in the scene.
You can also drag and drop from one of those buttons to add a component at a position.
Or you can right click > add in the scene to add a component at a position.

You can select components with mouse left button and drag them around the scene.
You can delete selected components with right click > remove or by pressing delete key.
(note that the output component cannot be removed)

Press a component pin with left mouse button and hold it until you release it on another pin.
An output pin cannot be connected to another output pin (same for input pins), and you cannot connect components in a loop.

In order to play a sound, you have to generate it with the menu Audio > Generate or by pressing F5.
You can auto-generate the sound when play button is pressed, or when a modification is made, in the audio menu.

Common shortcuts:

  • Ctrl+A: select all the components;
  • Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V: copy/paste components (except the output);
  • Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y: undo/redo your modifications.

Features

  • Base sound signals : Sinus, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Random (White noise);
  • Mix sound signals with operators like Add, Multiply;
  • Modify sound signals with Delay, Repeat and ADSR;
  • Save and load projects;
  • Save resulting sound in wav file.

Visit the planned features to see what are the next features to come.
Warning: this project is made on my freetime, so it can take a while before releasing a new version.

If you think of another feature, or you found bugs, please go to the issue panel to report it, or fix it yourself and do a Pull Request to contribute to the software.
(Be careful of the licenses from Qt and this software if you modify it for your own purpose)
