FLASHBACK SAMPLER
« RYON EVERETT'S CYBERSPACE JUNKYARD
AUDIO SAMPLER APP
A little rolling buffer audio sampler used to limit test knowledge of memory systems and also making ad hoc live-sampling to DAW more fun. Getting rewritten in ZIG.
Summary
THUNKER: Kind of like a retractable keychain hooked to your belt, but the keys are audio channels and the belt is your machine.
STATUS: PRE-ALPHA (SOMEWHAT BEHAVED)
A snappy rolling sampler that captures audio from any device or process on your machine. App design aims to emulate a tape-to-tape turntable hybrid. Where you can drag and pull clips from a live buffer directly into your daw, slice and chop in them in the app. Wanted to double as a ZIG learning experience, so it's being rewritten from python currently.
Back of the box
- Record anything: Devices, processes, if there is an audio signal it'll grab it.
- Isolated channels: Full-bitrate per channel or muxed audio tracking.
- Drag & drop to DAW: Drag a slice from the buffer right into DAW.
- Snappy & Lightweight: A lot of work going into footprint and responsiveness.
- Learn a bit of ZIG: Documentation intentionally educational to explore concepts.
- Multiplatform (WIP): Rewriting to run multi-platform & mobile
- Lots more to come: VST, native, ui overhaul, presets, & more.
Systems
- ASIO, audio channels, and kernel-level audio processing
- Outgoing Python, a little C
- Incoming zero-dependency ZIG
- Multiplatform test harnesses
