Modules

nanodsp.buffer -- AudioBuffer

The central data type. A 2D float32 array with shape [channels, frames] plus metadata (sample_rate, channel_layout, label).

from nanodsp.buffer import AudioBuffer

# Construction
buf = AudioBuffer(np.zeros((2, 44100), dtype=np.float32), sample_rate=44100)
buf = AudioBuffer.from_file("input.wav")       # read WAV/FLAC
buf = AudioBuffer.sine(440.0, channels=1, frames=44100, sample_rate=44100)
buf = AudioBuffer.noise(channels=2, frames=44100, sample_rate=44100)
buf = AudioBuffer.zeros(channels=1, frames=1024, sample_rate=44100)
buf = AudioBuffer.impulse(channels=1, frames=1024, sample_rate=44100)

# Properties
buf.channels        # number of channels
buf.frames          # number of frames
buf.sample_rate     # sample rate in Hz
buf.duration        # duration in seconds
buf.mono            # 1D view (mono buffers only)
buf.channel(0)      # 1D view of channel 0

# Channel operations
buf.to_mono("mean")                    # downmix
buf.to_channels(2)                     # upmix mono to stereo
AudioBuffer.concat_channels(a, b)      # stack channels

# Arithmetic
buf + other          # add
buf * 0.5            # scale
buf.gain_db(-6.0)    # apply dB gain

# I/O
buf.write("output.wav")                # write WAV/FLAC (detected by extension)
buf.write("output.flac", bit_depth=24)

# Pipeline
buf.pipe(effects.lowpass, freq=1000.0)

nanodsp.io -- Audio file I/O

buf = io.read("file.flac")
io.write("out.wav", buf)           # 16-bit default
io.write("out.flac", buf, bit_depth=24)

# Format-specific

io.write_wav("out.wav", buf, bit_depth=24)
buf = io.read_flac("file.flac")
io.write_flac("out.flac", buf, bit_depth=16)

# Byte-level (for stdin/stdout/pipe workflows)

File-processing scripts share the same interface:

usage: demo_*.py [-h] [-o OUT_DIR] [-n] infile

positional arguments:
  infile                Input .wav file

options:
  -o, --out-dir DIR     Output directory (default: build/demo-output)
  -n, --no-normalize    Skip peak normalization (may clip on PCM output)

demo_synthesis.py generates sounds from scratch (no input file; takes -o and -n only). demo_analysis.py prints measurements to stdout (no audio output). demo_grainflow.py processes an input file through granular synthesis.
