This is where I experiment with sound synthesis by writing a very simple CLAP plugin in Rust.
Follow along by reading the blog series:
- Writing a CLAP synthesizer in Rust (Part 1)
Starting from nothing, lots of setup and boilerplate to create a simple monophonic synthesizer without any UI or adjustable parameters. - Writing a CLAP synthesizer in Rust (Part 2)
This introduced parameters, specifically Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release in order to create a "proper" ADSR envelope to fix clicking noises heard in the first part. I also extend it to support 16 simultaneous voices, making it a polyphonic synth. Still no custom GUI, but the DAW is nice enough to provide one for us for the parameters we expose. - Writing a CLAP synthesizer in Rust (Part 3) This added a custom GUI using egui.
