Sztakler / sound-synthesizer

Simple 88-keys 8-bit piano

8-bit Grand Piano

This is my dubious attempt to create a simple 8-bit piano in C++/SFML. Key feature of this piano is that it doesn't play prerecorded samples but calculates them during compilation.

Features

• active key highlighting,
• polyphonic,
• sine and square waveforms,
• 88 keys,
• poor coding

How to play

First, You need SFML library installed. If you're a Linux user, it can be simply done by entering your terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T and typing

sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev

You'll need the program itself, so don't forget to

git clone https://github.com/Sztakler/sound-synthesizer

Then you can make and execute this program typing

make && ./sound-synthesizer

Otherwise simple

g++ src/*.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-audio && ./a.out

should do the work.

Important note

I strongly recommend not playing any other sounds on your computer while using this synthesizer nor recording anything. It may lead to some serious issues with sampling (earrape warning).
