I'm contemplating rescuing some very old work I did on a NextStation for audiolisation of simple line graphs. Very simple idea, time to represent the abscissa and frequency (probably note value from experience) the ordinate. Different left-right position would enable several lines and there's always the possibility of modulation for mimicking line styles. I'd like this to run on Linux, be pretty broadly available and fairly easy to interface to programs that produce such data, such as R, gdl and the numerous python data analysis packages. Two questions: 1) Am I reinventing the wheel? -- 2) Does anyone have a recommendation on sound synthesis? Last time I used the MusicKit which, afaik, has been ported but it's a pretty big hammer for basic monotone synthesis and possible modulation. Does anyone have another suggestion for a package that a) works with ALSA b) Does what I need and c) Doesn't impose a big instalation burden on users. I will, of course, make the resulting code (if I finish) freely available. thanks in advance Peter Peter Rayner: LSCE/IPSL, Laboratoire CEA-CNRS-UVSQ address: Bat. 701 LSCE - CEA de Saclay Orme des Merisiers, 91191 Gif/Yvette work: +33 (1) 69 08 88 11; mobile: +33 (6) 75 46 56 52; fax: +33 (1) 69 08 77 16 mail-to: peter.rayner@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
