Use the accompanying CMakeLists.txt to generate your project. You will need to change some of the variables to reflect your development environment.
The CMake files will generate a library called "VSSynth", which you should link to your executables. CMake can also generate some examples as listed below.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple Tone | The "Hello World!" of VSSynth. Produces a Sine Wave with the note C4. |
| Low Frequency Oscillator | Produces a Sawtooth Wave with a low frequency oscillator attached. |
| Record Tone | Produces a WAVE file with a Sine Wave with the note C4. |
| Piano | A piano which can play notes on keyboard input. |
| Sequenced Beat | Extension of the Piano example. The song, "Mary had a little lamb", will play on repeat in the background while you control the piano. |
| MIDI Player | A MIDI player using synthesized instruments included with VSSynth. Does not fully support all MIDI messages, but the majority of songs play well on this. |
