5. ToySynth.
●
Only 2 python modules.
– Components.py
– Sequencer.py
●
Pure python.
– Just use standard python libraries.
– It has simple archtecture, easy to learn.
– Poor performance.
●
It doesn't have a real-time rendering speed to make sound
data.

6. How to get ToySynth.
●
You can download a tiny zip file.

7. Components.py
●
Component module provides some classes to make
a sound.
– Oscillator
– Amplifier
– Mixer
– FrequencyModulator
– LFO
– Clock
– Renderer
– Sink
– Etc ...

9. Music Macro Language
●
Code system for write musical notation.

10. MMLCompiler
●
It's in Sequencer module.
– It convert MML string to byte-code.
– Case insensitive.
– White space is now allowed.
– Poor lexer.
– Only support basic features.

11. Sequencer
●
Executes music byte-code sequence.
Set frequency at specified timing
WaveFile
osc Sequencer Renderer
Sink
MML
Clock
Compiler Music byte-code sequence.

Vibrato.

gain=2.0,
Attenuate=1.0)
Attenuate=1.0)
viv_osc = FrequencyModulator(
viv_osc = FrequencyModulator(
source=base_osc,
source=base_osc,
diff=viv_amp)
diff=viv_amp)
osc amp
frequency : frequency of vibrato.
Gain parameter in amp. : depth of vivrato.
