Code Structure

The code is divided in two parts :

Graphics :

• MainWindow : Handles window and key events

Audio :

• audio : The file managing the audio synthesis from a low level
• input : The file containing all input events triggered from graphics
• AudioHandler : Handles audio components
• SoundGenerator : Manages all voices, the mixer and the oscillator
• Oscillator : Provides sound wave's shape
• NoteHandler : Gathers all voices for one note event
• Mixer : Handles the volume of a key handler
• Voice : Generates the sound for one frequency
