YampaSynth

YampaSynth is a software synthesizer implemented in Yampa, domain specific
language embedded in Haskell. It contains a little framework of sound
generating and sound shaping modules (e.g. oscillator, amplifier, mixer,
envelope generator, filter, etc.) and example applications:

"yampasynth-wav" is an application which synthesizes a MIDI music and writes

result into a WAVE audio file.

"yampasynth-openal" is an application which synthesizes a MIDI music and

sends audio data in real-time to a sound card. We use Haskell binding of OpenAL
library as an interface to audio hardware.

"yampasynth-gtk" is an application with the simple graphical user interface

which allows you to play a music with various instruments in real-time using
the keyboard of your computer. We use Haskell binding of GTK library for GUI
programming and Haskell binding of OpenAL library as an interface to audio
hardware.
Software synthesizer uses the MIDI standard as a music description and the
SoundFont standard as an instrument description.
Implementation is based on the paper "Switched-on Yampa: Declarative
Programming of Modular Synthesizers", by George Giorgidze and Henrik Nilsson
(<http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~ggg/publications/padl2008.pdf>), In Proceedings of
10th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, San
Francisco, CA, USA, January 7-8, 2008.
This is mainly a proof of concept, but already useful to some extent.
