STK Subdirectory Overview

• The doc directory contains a copy of the STK documentation, including the release notes, platform-specific README files, an introductory tutorial (in doc/html/tutorial.html), white papers ( (doc/html/papers/), and C++ class documentation generated from the source files by the doxygen utility.

• The src directory contains C++ source files for the STK library. In the next section, we will build this library by going into that directory and typing make.

• The include directory contains C++ header files for the STK library.

• The rawwaves directory contains ``raw'' 16-bit soundfiles, i.e., no header of any kind.^A.3

• The projects directory contains a variety of subdirectories holding programs which exercise the STK:

  $ ls -F
  demo/  effects/  examples/  ragamatic/
  

  • The demo directory contains some demo programs. After building the library, we will go into that directory and try out a demo.

  • The effects directory contains source for the effects program which applies various digital audio effects to microphone input in real time (much fun!). See README-effects.txt in that directory for more info.

  • The examples directory contains a variety of short programs illustrating various programming techniques using the STK.

  • The ragamatic project is like a larger demo which plays automatically generated meditative music on sitar, drones, and tabla. There are sliders for configuring parameters of the performance and various raga presets.
