signalflow 0.4.6

SignalFlow is a sound synthesis library designed to make it quick and intuitive to explore complex sonic ideas

SignalFlow

SignalFlow is a sound synthesis framework designed for clear and concise expression of complex musical ideas. It has an extensive Python API, for fluid audio experimentation in iPython/Jupyter. Its core is written in C++11, so it can also be embedded into other cross-platform applications.

SignalFlow is in beta status. Interfaces may be subject to change.

Example

from signalflow import *

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# An AudioGraph is made up of a network of interconnected Nodes, which generate
# and process audio. 
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
graph = AudioGraph()

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Passing an array of frequencies creates a stereo output.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sine = SineOscillator([440, 880])

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Simple attack/sustain/release envelope with linear curves.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
env = ASREnvelope(0.01, 0.1, 0.5)

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use standard arithmetic operations to combine signals. When a multi-channel 
# signal is multiplied by a mono signal, the mono signal is auto-upmixed.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
output = sine * env

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Connect the output to the graph, and begin playback.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
output.play()
graph.wait()

Installation

SignalFlow requires Python 3.8 or above.

In brief, SignalFlow can be installed with pip: pip3 install signalflow.

For complete per-platform instructions and setup guides, see Installing SignalFlow.
