Synopsis
FLooping is a signal processing library written in F#. It is designed for audio synthesis and effect processing, but can also be used for other purposes like simulation or control tasks (PLC). FLooping processes sample by sample, thus enabling to build low-level DSP structures such as filters, oscillators and other DSP building blocks.
FLooping simplifies the way in that state based functions are composed. Unlike in imperative languages where instanciation and evaluation of components have to be handled in user code, FLooping handles per-component state and evaluation of components for you. This leads to a way of describing signal flows where you can define components in-line and treat them as if they were pure functions.
Code Examples
How to Execute the Samples
- Clone or download the source.
- Restore paket dependencies: In the root folder, run the following command:
.paket/paket.exe install- (Windows cmd:)
".paket/paket.exe" install
- The sample code below is a copy of the code in
./Demo.fsx - Open that file and send it to F# Interactive by selecting the code and press Alt+Enter.
#load @"./src/FLooping.fsx"
open Microsoft.FSharp.Data.UnitSystems.SI.UnitSymbols
open FLooping.Core
open FLooping.Audio
open FLooping.BuildingBlocks
open FLooping.IO
