Title: 4Ks with sources
Post by: xOr on February 11, 2012
Hi!

It's my first post here, so hello to everyone :)

Can you suggest some 4K intros that has downloadable source code?
It would be great to have some examples for educational purposes.

I tried searching and found only very few on DBF/Google/Pouet etc., wonder if there is a collection somewhere with a list of links to them. Btw is there a way for searching for them on Pouet?

As starters, here are what I found: Andromedary, Make it 4K (and other Fit releases), Stoerfall.

Thanks,
x

Hey man :) Welcome to DBF.

http://www.iquilezles.org/www/material/isystem1k4k/isystem1k4k.htm These will help you greatly. Not full intros but great examples with iq's base framework; an excellent learning source.

http://tv.gathering.org/page/1/view/5100886 this might help you as well :) It's a seminar I gave at The Gathering last year about this sort of thing. Attached to this post are the resources to go with the seminar.

Good luck :)

Wow, thanks! Great seminar ;)

In fact I already have a framework (roughly based on one of iq's fws) and the two major topics I would like to get a grip on are coding gfx effects and a custom synth, and that's why it would be great to see the sources of some recent intros...

Btw I've just noticed that the source of Muon Baryon is public, huge kudos for that!
I'm searching for these kinds of full 4K sources, do you know of others?

Thanks,

Quoting Ferris 100% (He's the 4k guy here!)

Nothern Dragons release a quite HUGE iso image some time now...
http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/resources/docs/nd_4kb_intro_kit.zip&fileinfo (http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/resources/docs/nd_4kb_intro_kit.zip&fileinfo)

Maybe you'll find references to "Cool_Things_in_Small_Spaces" from Polaris/ND here and there

Have fun!

Side note: I saw references to in4k inside readme file Ferris gave you... so ... my post seems quite useless!


There are some resources you could dig from the net (not that much for 4k anyway)
Hugi mag point to a link page about various old demo sources here http://www.hugi.scene.org/online/hugi35/hugi%2035%20-%20demoscene%20resources%20adok%20demo%20sourcecode%20list.htm (http://www.hugi.scene.org/online/hugi35/hugi%2035%20-%20demoscene%20resources%20adok%20demo%20sourcecode%20list.htm)

Scene.org has a sources directory too here ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/resources/code/sources/ (http://ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/resources/code/sources/)

You can always refer to kb_ ramblings about soft synth programming http://blog.kebby.org/?p=40 (http://blog.kebby.org/?p=40)

Thanks, Moroboshisan, great resources!

That Northern Dragons ISO is rather nice!
But the other two lists of src links seems to be a bit dated. Still useful and good to know about them, but also seem to be of a bit limited use for making todays 4Ks. (Of course just IMHO)

Kb's article series is great stuff. Another one about synth programming (4klang):
http://zine.bitfellas.org/article.php?zine=14&id=35 (http://zine.bitfellas.org/article.php?zine=14&id=35)

Those resources weren't intended for 4k development... just as a general reference, you know... ;)

As you may notice from kb_ articles (and from your own experince) most of nowadays soft synth "just" refer to already known (and documented) hardware synths from the past (SID chip waweform generation or Filter manipulation, Paula sound generation and so on...).
Most notable softsynths other than kb_ production I've heard were Fairlight (http://www.fairlight.to/) and Conspiracy (http://conspiracy.hu/about/) but I doubt you will find some sources freely available on the net.

Maybe Syntiac pages would give you some ideas by looking at this source http://www.syntiac.com/synfactory.html

You can also take a look at TRSI Sample Generator source http://franck.charlet.pagesperso-orange.fr/misc.html as well as TRSI Sound Monitor (asm replay source routine only).

I came across this http://www.moogmusic.com/legacy/fundamentals-synthesizer-programming (http://www.moogmusic.com/legacy/fundamentals-synthesizer-programming) .. not 4k related tho, but nice anyway! ;)

Sorry to go off topic a little here but I just watched this (well I did last night) and you did a great job there Ferris!  I really enjoyed it and took away some useful info!

Btw, Elevated (by RGBA) blew me away.
