===> Free <===
Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications,
your app too must be labeled non-military use only.
All Java jars and source code are included.

----

Prerequisites:

This program runs under any OS,
(e.g. Win2K/XP/Vista/W7x86/W7-64/OSX/Linux/Solaris/AIX...) so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.1 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java).
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

----

Installing on a PC:

Download source and compiled class files to run on your own machine as an application.
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ --  ticking off the "use folder names" option.
To run as an application,type:
java -ea -jar J:\com\mindprod\sound\sound.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Installing on a MacIntosh:

Use Safari to download source and compiled class files to run on your own machine as an application.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.
I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility.
In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen.
If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages.
To run as an application, without parameters, just double click the jar file.

To run as an application with parameters, in bash shell type:
open Terminal.app
cd ~/Desktop
java -ea -jar com/mindprod/sound/sound.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary class and jar files, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar.
Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are.
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar.

----

Use:

Sound lets you mathematically create sounds in Java.

You define your sounds in terms of 16-bit linear code for
the waveform, -- an array of samplings. The U_Law.class will
then convert that to (or from) *.AU mu-law 8-bit encoding
format which you can then play with
AudioPlayer.player.start(bis) in an application or with
Applet.getAudioClip in an Applet.

This is just a sample program. You would insert your own mathematical
functions or cannibalise parts of the code.

Use winzip to extract U_Law.java and TestSound.java with
folder names into the com\mindprod\sound directory.

java com.mindprod.sound.Sound

why the yellow hump logo?  It represents the sound sine wave
used as the test sound in this program.
