# NoiceSynth Linux Emulator
|
|
|
|
This folder contains a Linux-based prototype for the NoiceSynth engine. It allows you to develop and visualize the DSP code on a desktop computer before deploying it to the RP2040 hardware.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
* **Engine (`synth_engine.cpp`):** The exact same C++ code used on the microcontroller. It uses fixed-point math (or integer-based phase accumulation) to generate audio.
|
|
* **Host (`main.cpp`):** A Linux wrapper that uses:
|
|
* **Miniaudio:** For cross-platform audio output.
|
|
* **SDL2:** For real-time oscilloscope visualization.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start (Distrobox)
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to install dependencies manually, use the included script. It creates a lightweight container, installs the tools, and compiles the project.
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure you have `distrobox` and a container engine (Docker or Podman) installed.
|
|
2. Run the build script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./compile_with_distrobox.sh
|
|
```
|
|
3. Run the synthesizer:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./noicesynth_linux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual Build
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to build directly on your host machine:
|
|
|
|
1. **Install Dependencies:**
|
|
* **Debian/Ubuntu:** `sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev wget`
|
|
* **Fedora:** `sudo dnf install gcc-c++ SDL2-devel wget`
|
|
* **Arch:** `sudo pacman -S base-devel sdl2 wget`
|
|
|
|
2. **Download Miniaudio:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mackron/miniaudio/master/miniaudio.h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Compile:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
``` |
