Code sample collection

This is a growing collection of miscellaneous code snippets that were made for fun or for testing purposes, and could perhaps help new users (or just be fun play with). Some of them may be somewhat outdated though.

Detuned chord progression

from gensound import Sine, mix, Reverse, FadeIn, FadeOut

fades = FadeIn(0.01e3)*FadeOut(0.01e3)
step = 2e3

s = mix([Sine(f, step)*fades for f in ("G", "C5", "Eb5")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step)*fades for f in ("A", "C5", "E5")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step)*fades for f in ("Ab", "C5", "F5")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step/3)*fades for f in ("G#", "C#5", "E5")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step/3)*fades for f in ("G#-33", "C#5-33", "E5-33")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step/3)*fades for f in ("G#-66", "C#5-66", "E5-66")])
s |= mix([Sine(f, step)*fades for f in ("G", "C5", "Eb5")])

s[1] = s*Reverse()
s.play()

3-voice Loop

from gensound import Square, Signal
sig = Square # try Sine, Triangle or Sawtooth too

t = 0.5e3 # beat duration

v1 = sig("C3 Eb F G F Eb "*10, duration=t)
v2 = sig("Eb4=3 Bb "*10, duration=t)
v3 = sig("G4=2 A D, "*10, duration=t)

s = Signal()
s[0] = v2
s[1] = v3
s += 0.5*v1

s.play()
