7. About the examples

7.1 General hints

Virually all examples are GUIfied now, using mainly the instrument mapper. To look at the examples, use "File/Retrieve from server". Expect everything that starts with example_ to be an example which you can run and look at.

All synthesis instruments are available in every example.

The instrument flexible_slide also provides an own GUI.

example_stereo_beep is a small example which outputs a 440 Hz sine wave on one your left speaker, a 880 Hz sine wave on the right.

All others are midi synthesis examples. Fortunately they are quite convenient to use these days...:

You can use them in conjunction with midisend like that

You should be careful with the number of maximum voices allowed at the instrument mapper in the main structure. Perhaps your computer can calculate more voices than the default (eight) with some instruments, perhaps even eight are too much... look at the cpu usage to see how your computer is doing.
