Syntaron

A soundcreation tool to produce tiny datasets from which sounds can be created on the fly in the startup of a game.

This alpha version is 16bit Mono at 44.1Khz and a fixed length of 2 seconds.

warning: may be tough on old systems



INSTRUCTIONS:

HOTKEYS
L - load
S - save (saves own format (*.syt) and Windows PCM (*.wav))

SPACE - play and pause
DELETE - delete selected marker
ESCAPE - quit

INTERFACE

toolbar (left to right):
display - full reset, reset horizonat, reset vertical
playback - play, pause, stop
waveforms - sine, saw, square, noise (exchanges basis waveform)

textfield - display and enter value of currently selected marker

filter pannel:
resonance slider - well...enters resonance amounts from 0 - 1.0
bipolar - activates bipolar filtering

marker bars:
red bar (volume)
yellow bar (pitch)
cyan bar (filter)

Hover over the bar you want to work on...
Use left mousebutton to add a marker or select an existing one.
Use right mousebutton to drag the selected markers value up or down.
Use middle mousebutton to drag the selected markers position.

Value and Position dragging can be started anywhere on the desired bar. Should you go to another bar without selecting a marker, it will automatically select one for you...(I'm still improving that!)

waveform display:
Use left click to drag the view around.
Use right click to zoom in and out. (X coordinate will be centered around mouse pointer)
Use mousewheel to zoom in and out proportionally. (X coordinate will be centered around mouse pointer)

It's really just the alpha version, but it's already loads of fun and you can actually save your sounds to use in any other sound application, while you can already save in the first .syt format. I have versioned it, so you shall not worry about later releases too much. However, certain things will most likely change mildly. Particularely volume levels could become subject to further adjustments for maximize functions and the likes. Anyway... play around and let me know how it works for you. Don't forget the warning!

All the Best,
