How can I make music with python/pygame?

[metulburr]

This pysynth looks interesting, but which file am I supposed to download? The only module I've ever installed is pygame, and with that I had to enter a command in my computer's command prompt.

install the same way

pip install pysynth

As for game files, honestly, I prefer everything to be contained within the code of the game.

I would also prefer to be able to synthesize music from within my programs themselves.

I would much prefer to use GIMP to draw images at a faster rate than coding them and load the images. Same with music and sounds. That is about what most people do that i know of. 99 out of 100 people do it this way in a game. The only time i have seen people do it the other way was software, not a game. And even then it has a save function to write it to disk. I have also found out that when passing programs to the public requires building exe's. And the more things you import the more problems that occur in building exe's. So i try to reduce the number of 3rd party libraries as uch as possible. One of those is just including files with the program such as images, sounds, and music.

But i am sure what you want is doable. You just need to find the right software to do what you want. Im sure there is a 3rd party lib somewhere in pypi. There has to have been someone who made a package that wants to do similar to what you are doing. Got this off another Google search for python synthesizer

A video using Numpy for a synthesizer. His first video in the series create a wav files, but maybe he does not later in the series.

You can use NumPy and sounddevice 3rd party library installed the same way with pip.

import numpy as np # download
import sounddevice as sd # download
import time

stream = []

# Main Controls
sps = 44100 # DON'T CHANGE

carrier_hz = 440.0

duration_s = 1.0

atten = 0.3

def amplitudeMod(t_samples, carrier):
    # Modulate the amplitude of the carrier
    ac = 0.2 # amplitude 0 = min, 1 = max
    ka = 1.0 # range of change 0.1 = less, 1.0 = most
    modulator_hz = 0.0 # frequency of modulation 20hz max
    modulator = np.sin(2 * np.pi * modulator_hz * t_samples / sps)
    envelope = ac * (1.0 + ka * modulator)
    return carrier * envelope

def frequencyMod(t_samples, sps):
    # Modulate the frequency of the carrier
    k = 50.0 # range of change 0.1 = less, ?? = most
    modulator_hz = 10.0 # frequency of modulation
    carrier2 = 2 * np.pi * t_samples * carrier_hz / sps
    modulator = k * np.sin(2 * np.pi * t_samples * modulator_hz / sps)
    return np.cos(carrier2 + modulator)

# Create carrier wave
t_samples = np.arange(duration_s * sps)
carrier = np.sin(2 * np.pi * carrier_hz * t_samples / sps)

choice = input("1) Play sine\n2) Play amplitude modulation\n3) Play frequency modulation\n;")
if choice == "1":
    output = carrier
if choice == "2":
    output = amplitudeMod(t_samples, carrier)
if choice == "3":
    output = frequencyMod(t_samples, sps)

# Output

output *= atten

sd.play(output, sps)
sd.wait()
sd.stop()
