maucisynth

Minimal subtractive software synthesizer

Overview

Graphical user interface of the synthesizer made with GTK2.

Time-amplitude view of polyphonic sawtooth waveform with exponential ADSR curve.

Time-amplitude view of square wave signal with pulse width modulation.

• A simple software synthesizer, can be played in realtime by the computer keyboard
• A hobby project, C programming language, 2160 lines
• Additive synthesis similar to Moog synthesizers
• Polyphonic, monotimbral
• Exponential Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release amplitude envelope curve
• Amplitude, frequency and pulse width modulation
• Simple lowpass filter
• User interface built on GTK+, sound API JACK (http://jackaudio.org/)
• Realtime, multithreaded
