Siren includes objects that support sampled sound synthesis, recording, processing, and playback. In Siren, sound is a function, meaning that it has the semantics of a single-valued function of time.

There are many instance creation methods in the class SampledSound, including examples to create several kinds of waveforms, frequency sweeps, and impulse trains.

Examples

Create a 1-second sine wave sound at a sample rate of 44100 Hz, with 1 channel and the base frequency of 80 Hz.
