Top 9 Rust Synthesizer Projects

glicol

32 1,969 6.0 Rust

Graph-oriented live coding language and music/audio DSP library written in Rust

Project mention: Show HN: Render audio to HTML canvas using WebGPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15

Nice! Great project website styling and demo.
I had a WebGPU scope demo using vanila JS here, but it's not connected to AudioContext at all.

Still, I had to use the old WebGL solution for https://glicol.org since the WebGPU support seems to be pretty slow at the moment.

Project mention: Recent improvements to OctaSine (free and open source FM synth plugin): new waveforms, pitch bend, velocity sensitivity and more | /r/synthesizers | 2023-05-28

Since I last posted here, I've implemented multiple features for OctaSine, a free and open source frequency modulation synth plugin (VST2, CLAP), some of which were heavily requested.

Keyboard-controlled music sequencer, sampler, and synth
HexoSynth

0 199 4.0 Rust

A FLOSS (Open Source) hexagonal modular synthesizer plugin.
tune

6 131 7.8 Rust

Make xenharmonic music and create synthesizer tuning files for microtonal scales.

Project mention: Are there any microtonal piano VSTs out there? | /r/microtonal | 2023-07-01

I use tune-cli (https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli) to play microtonal scales on my non-microtonal Fantom-X8. tune-cli can retune almost any synth via MIDI message injection but it needs to be started as a separate program since it is not a VST plugin.

Project mention: Building a Hybrid Native Application with Gleam and Tauri | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-19

I ran into this exact issue when I was working on a piece of typescript that interoperates with a rust server, here's how I was able to do exhaustiveness checking (the errors aren't the prettiest, but it works): https://github.com/wwtos/mjuo/blob/main/vpo-frontend/src/lib...
