SOUNDRA 1.8.13 for Windows

ABOUT

    Soundra is a digital audio laboratory designed to be as simple as possible. This software enables:
    > Sound exploration through modular synthesis : With 43 interconnectable building blocks, the possibilities are virtually endless.
    > Learning digital signal processing (DSP) : By discovering its vocabulary and fundamental principles.
    > Music creation : Through a fresh, outside-the-box approach.

    Soundra makes 32-bit floating point computations at a sampling rate of 48kHz and currently supports the importation of 8, 16, 24 and 32-bit, mono and stereo wave files. It also supports polyphony and feedback loops.

    This software was developed using the FreeBasic language and the FB IDE editor. It relies on open source C libraries, namely OpenAL-Soft for sound capture and streaming, and FreeType for fonts.

    Explore. Learn. Create.
