Sampled Audio Synthesis

Chapter 10. Audio Synthesis

The synthesis of new audio during a game's execution can be useful, especially in response to unforeseen or rare events. In this chapter, I look at how to generate tone sequences for sampled audio and how to create MIDI sequences at runtime. The discussion is split into two main parts: synthesis of sampled audio and synthesis of sequences. I finish by describing additional libraries and APIs that can help with audio generation.
