# Audiobench

Audiobench is a free, open-source modular synthesizer. It can be used to create

a variety of sounds by connecting audio processing modules in unlimited ways. It

can be downloaded from [the main website](https://bit.ly/audio_bench), and a

[getting started](https://joshua-maros.github.io/audiobench/book/getting_started.html)

guide is also available.

## Building 

First, make sure you have installed all the necessary tools and dependencies:

### Windows Dependencies

- `git`

- `python3`

- `cmake` >= 3.15

- Visual Studio 16 2019 and its build tools

- A Rust toolchain compatible with MSVC (this has been the default since 2017.)

### MacOS Dependencies

- Homebrew (and the XCode tools that come with it)

- Additional tools: `brew install git python3 cmake`

- Rust toolchain from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs)

### Linux Dependencies

Several tools and libraries are necessary. They can be installed on Debian-based

systems with the following command:

```bash

sudo apt -y install \

  git python3 make gcc cmake \

  libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libasound-dev libtinfo-dev \

  extra-cmake-modules libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libclang-dev \

  libjack0 libjack-dev

```

You must also install the Rust toolchain from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs)

Check that your cmake version is at least `3.15` with `cmake --version`.

### Build Process

The build system is contained in `build.py`. It can be run by doing `./build.py`

or `python build.py`, the first form may not work on Windows. Running it will

provide a description of how it can be used. The most common uses are as

follows:

- `./build.py installer --release` builds a release version of the

  standalone and plugin versions of Audiobench and packages them into an

  installer. The results are placed in `artifacts/installer/`.

- `./build.py run` builds and runs a debug version.

- `./build.py benchmark --release` runs performance tests and measures how long

  different parts of the code take to run.

The first time you run a build it will take a while to build additional

dependencies that are not reliably available in packaged form.
