sonivox 4.0.1-1

Package Information

DescriptionSonivox Embedded Audio Synthesis Library

Fork of the AOSP 'platform_external_sonivox' to use out of Android.

This is a Wave Table synthesizer, not using external soundfont files but embedded samples instead. It is also a real time GM synthesizer.

It consumes very little resources, so it may be indicated in projects for small embedded devices. There is neither MIDI input nor Audio output facilities included in the library. You need to provide your own input/output.
