sampler

This project aims to be a full-fledged software sampler written in Rust. While I initially used Apple's AUSampler for sampled instruments in my iOS app soundboard, its largely undocumented behavior and mysterious bugs called for a better alternative.

sampler is open source, so feel free to contribute and to use the code in your own projects :). It shall also serve as a larger example of using Rust for real-time audio processing.

Build Instructions

Active development currently happens on macOS only. There are few things that might fall apart on other systems, so any help with cross-platform support is appreciated :).

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Clone the repo
    # clone via ssh
    git clone git@github.com:soakyaudio/sampler.git
    
    # or via https
    git clone https://github.com/soakyaudio/sampler.git
  3. Build and start the app
    cd sampler
    cargo run
  4. Optional commands
    # run unit tests
    cargo test
    
    # build documentation
    cargo doc

Features

  • Standalone wrapper app with real-time audio output & midi input
  • Polyphonic sampler instrument with linear ADSR envelope
  • Multiple sample layers based on note and velocity
  • SFZ format loader (see supported opcodes)
  • Supported audio file formats: WAV
  • Here's some music while you wait for more features...

Roadmap

v0.1.0

  • Code style, rustfmt
  • Fix compiler warnings
  • Multiple velocities
  • SFZ format
  • Unit tests
  • Voice stealing
  • WAV samples

v0.2.0

  • Looped samples
  • Round robin

v0.3.0

  • Disk streaming
  • Filter per voice

v0.4.0

  • AUv3 plugin wrapper

Ideas

  • FX automation / routings
  • Get rid of Send trait and replace Arc with lifetimes if possible
  • Setup CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
  • Write contribution guide
