Top 14 C Synthesizer Projects

  • surge

    Synthesizer plug-in (previously released as Vember Audio Surge)

    Project mention: Fm8 and Massive sales | reddit.com/r/NativeInstruments | 2023-03-23

    If Massive is too expensive, the open-source Surge XT softsynth may be a good substitute; it has wavetable oscillators as Massive does, though is also more flexible and newer. (It used to be a commercial product, but was open-sourced when it was discontinued, and has remained under active development since).

  • soloud

    Free, easy, portable audio engine for games

    Project mention: what annoys you most while using c++? | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-08-28

    No, that has indeed solved it for me. But the first time I encountered it, my friend and I spent quite awhile debugging the problem. Almost 2 hours, I believe. We still have an open issue about that one.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • fluidsynth

    Software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications

    Project mention: Timidity++ sound exactly like Windows Media Player | reddit.com/r/midi | 2023-03-11

    With all the programs you tried, it's hard to believe you missed Fluidsynth. Or maybe you tried it and it didn't work.

  • TinySoundFont

    SoundFont2 synthesizer library in a single C/C++ file

    Project mention: Can any of you help me think of reasons why I should or shouldn't add Soundfonts to SFX for the ESP32? | reddit.com/r/esp32 | 2022-07-26

  • klystrack

    A chiptune tracker

    Project mention: Where do I start on making chiptune music authentically? | reddit.com/r/chiptunes | 2023-03-09

    klystrack ("fakebit")

  • monome-rack

    VCV Rack plugin for monome Eurorack modules

  • pico-dco

    Polyphonic Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) controlled by Raspberry Pi Pico PIO

    Project mention: Polyphony in analog synthesizer with arduino | reddit.com/r/synthdiy | 2022-09-20

    I think you could look into DCOs later, I'm in the process of building a polysyth based on this: https://github.com/polykit/pico-dco

  • PS

    Single file synth + demo song (by pixicoder)

  • usynth

    A scalable, polyphonic 8-bit AVR synthesizer employing wavetable synthesis.

    Project mention: Looking for Miniwave-like DIY projects | reddit.com/r/synthdiy | 2022-08-18

  • OpenWare

    Firmware for OWL devices

    Project mention: Open Sourced, Wireless, Customizable, Affordable Grid Controller | reddit.com/r/synthesizers | 2023-02-10

    And a related issue is time sharing with user app to make sure that they won't end up running too long to stall main firmware. On OWL this is solved by running apps (patches) in a RTOS thread, effectively it must finish its processing and block on a mutex provided by firmware before a new block of audio is received, otherwise the app is stopped.

  • klystrack

    A fork of a chiptune tracker (by LTVA1)

    Project mention: MilkyTracker | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-11-05

  • connie
