MeltySynth

MeltySynth is a SoundFont synthesizer written in C#. The purpose of this project is to provide a MIDI music playback functionality for any .NET applications without suffering from complicated dependencies. The codebase is lightweight and can be applied to any audio drivers which support streaming audio, such as SFML.Net, Silk.NET, OpenTK, and NAudio.

The entire code is heavily inspired by the following projects:

An example code to synthesize a simple chord:

// Create the synthesizer.
var sampleRate = 44100;
var synthesizer = new Synthesizer("TimGM6mb.sf2", sampleRate);

// Play some notes (middle C, E, G).
synthesizer.NoteOn(0, 60, 100);
synthesizer.NoteOn(0, 64, 100);
synthesizer.NoteOn(0, 67, 100);

// The output buffer (3 seconds).
var left = new float[3 * sampleRate];
var right = new float[3 * sampleRate];

// Render the waveform.
synthesizer.Render(left, right);

Another example code to synthesize a MIDI file:

// Create the synthesizer.
var sampleRate = 44100;
var synthesizer = new Synthesizer("TimGM6mb.sf2", sampleRate);

// Read the MIDI file.
var midiFile = new MidiFile("flourish.mid");
var sequencer = new MidiFileSequencer(synthesizer);
sequencer.Play(midiFile, false);

// The output buffer.
var left = new float[(int)(sampleRate * midiFile.Length.TotalSeconds)];
var right = new float[(int)(sampleRate * midiFile.Length.TotalSeconds)];

// Render the waveform.
sequencer.Render(left, right);

Features

  • No dependencies other than .NET Core 3.1.
  • No memory allocation in the rendering process.
  • No unsafe code.

Installation

The NuGet package is available:
