# Calfbox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Website: https://github.com/kfoltman/calfbox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Calfbox, the "open source musical instrument", offers assorted music-related code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Originally intended as a standalone instrument for Linux and embedded devices (USB TV Sticks)
|
||
|
|
it can be used as Python module as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Packaging
|
||
|
|
If you are a packager and want to create a binary package for your distribution please package only the python module.
|
||
|
|
The binary executable is not maintained and untested at the moment. It should not be used by anyone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

# Calfbox as Python Module
|
||
|
|
Calfbox can be used as a Python module that can be imported to create short scripts or
|
||
|
|
full fledged programs ( https://www.laborejo.org/software ).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most notably it features a midi sequencer and an audio sampler (for sfz files and sf2 via fluidsynth).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A convenience script `cleanpythonbuild.py` has been supplied to quickly build and install the cbox python module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
make clean
|
||
|
|
rm build -rf
|
||
|
|
sh autogen.sh
|
||
|
|
./configure
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
python3 setup.py build
|
||
|
|
sudo python3 setup.py install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to write programs with cbox
|
||
|
|
You can find several `.py` files in the main directory, such as `sampler_api_example.py` or
|
||
|
|
`song_api_example.py`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also there is a directory `/experiments` which contains a small example framework.
|
||
|

# Using Calfbox as standalone instrument
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using Calfbox as standalone instrument requires a .cfg config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This part of the program is currently unmaintained and untested. Please do not use it.
