GNU Psychosynth

===============

The Psychosynth project aims to create an interactive modular

soft-synth inspired by the ideas of the Reactable. We will try to

provide a clean object oriented API to allow the creation of new

innovative interfaces for the synthetizer and a 3D simulator of a

Reactable-alike device with support for collaborative music creation

over the internet.

This package provides

---------------------

  * **libpsynth**: This is a powerful modern C++ library for the

    building of synthesis software. Type-safe audio buffer and I/O

    abstractions, inspired by

    [Boost.GIL](https://boost.org/libs/gil),

    a generic system modular synthesis engine, classes for the

    synchronization of synths over the network using OSC, a framework

    for easy application creation, among other stug....

  * **psynth3d**: An interactive synth with an look similar to the

    Reactable's and a 3D interface which makes use of all the power of

    libpsynth.

  * **psynth**: A command line version of the synth that can be used

      as OSC server or client with low resource usage.

Depdencies

----------

To try the software you will need these third party libraries and programs:

   * GNU Autotools (only for the development version)

   * Ogre (needed by the 3D interface)

   * CEGUI (needed by the 3D interface)

   * OIS (needed by the 3D interface)

   * liblo (needed for the network support)

   * libxml2 (needed for XML config support)

   * Alsa (needed for ALSA sound output)

   * Jack (needed for Jack sound ouput)

   * libsndfile (needed for pcm file support)

   * libvorbis (needed for OGG vorbis file support)

   * SoundTouch (needed for sample stretching)

   * Boost

In Debian and Ubuntu you can install all those dependencies with the

following command. Anyways, I suggest installing `liblo` from the

original sources because the version in the repositories is outdated

and contains a bug:

```

  sudo apt install cmake libogre-1.9-dev libois-dev \

                   libcegui-mk2-dev libasound2-dev libjack-dev \

                   liblo-dev libsndfile-dev libxml2-dev \

                   libsoundtouch-dev libvorbis-dev libboost-dev

```

Installing

----------

This project uses the [CMake](http://cmake.org/) build system generator.

To compile from sources, do:

```

  mkdir build && cd build

  cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

  cmake --build .

```

You can then **install** the software by doing

```

  sudo cmake --build . -t install

```

You may customize the installation folder by passing

`-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=` to the `cmake ..`

command.  There are other settings you can pass with

`-D=value`, you may list all of them with `cmake .. -LH`.

Also, there are other things you can do besides building or

installing, see `cmake --build -t help` to list all possible targets.
