This is a work in progress and a personal experiment in trying to create a simple synthesizer in VB.NET

So far, the library supports:

• Unlimited polyphony
• Multiple and configurable oscillator modes (Sinusoidal, Pulse, Triangular, Sawtooth, Custom Formulas, etc...)
• Supports Envelopes (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release)
• Supports triggering multiple tone/signal generators at once (SignalMixer)
• Stereo support (with panning control)
• Automation (ability to control parameters, such as the Volume of a signal generator, through an oscillator)

Missing features and functionality that I hope to implement:

• Support for envelope curves (exponetial, logarithmic, s-curve, etc...)
• Better audio mixing algorithm (instead of simply clipping it)
• Implement a signal generator that can playback audio files (sampler)
• MIDI support (Work in progress)
• A real UI to showcase the library
• Use NAudio or BASS instead of SlimDX (Work in progress)

Dependencies:

• Audio playback requires SlimDX.
• Evaluation of custom formulas uses the NCalc library.
