OpenAL EFX implementation

[zorg]

Yes, sorry; should have done it before, here's ikroth's sone library.
Note that for now, it's only a Filter, Amp(+Fading), Pan library; no "special" effects like delay, reverb, distortion, etc.
Should technically work with 0.10.2 as well, but from 0.11 onwards, realtime effects are even more possible since queuable sources have been implemented.

I am planning on updating it to use queueable sources when 0.11 comes out, because that seems to be the main request that everyone had. I'd prefer to leave things like reverb to OpenAL since it is significantly more difficult to get it to sound "right."

This is amazing! It's really great that Löve audio receives some love.

What may be helpful to someone is that Ardour has support for Lua scripting and a bunch of simple plug-ins have been written for it. Some are good enough to be included in ardour and done by people who know what they re doing (like Robin Gareus). There should be some good DSP code in there Those can be found here: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/tree/master/scripts

All the DSP code is inside the ardour.DSP "namespace" (see https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/tree/m ... ibs/ardour or https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/m ... _filter.cc for a concrete example), which aren't lua scripts; you basically linked all the yak shavings that are needed because the scripting system exists.

The C code could be adapted, but again, it might use techniques not really suited for neither lua nor luaJIT, meaning more work to make sure that it doesn't work in sub-optimal time.

But, i do agree with you on how awesome it is that Löve audio stuff is something that's happening.

You're right, there's less good stuff in there than I thought there was. It is all tied in with ardour and would need to be adapted. Some scripts there contain actual DSP code: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/m ... owPass.lua and https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/m ... synth1.lua
I'm confident that this will grow, Lua scripting and even integrating plugins with ardour is a rather recent thing. Maybe it will become useful over time.

Could be!
As for me though, i'd prefer implementing a DAW in Löve itself.

Is there an actual Sample to test new EFX abilities?

[zorg]

I haven't made one, maybe raidho did, though i only faintly remember one lua file on hastebin full of functions, it may have only been a reference...

Here's a complete testing script. It's straightforward enough (sans GUI but it never is), you'll figure it out.

Thanks very much! Testcode looks very usefull.

I give feedback as soon as I have it ready in my game.
