Build Procedure

# Clean configuration

# Generate build files
cmake -B . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

# Compile all targets
cmake --build . --config Release

# Executable output: bin/waveshaper(.exe)

🎼 AUDIO SYNTHESIS IMPLEMENTATION

Oscillator (4 waveforms)

Waveform	Formula	Characteristics
SINE	sin(2πft)	Pure tone, smooth
SQUARE	+1 if phase<0.5, -1 else	Hollow, bright
SAWTOOTH	2(phase) - 1	Harsh, bright
NOISE	random(-1, +1)	Metallic, shimmer

ADSR Envelope

State Machine:

IDLE --trigger()--> ATTACK --[dur: 0.05s]--> DECAY --[dur: 0.1s]-->
SUSTAIN --[level: 0.7]--> SUSTAIN --release()-->
RELEASE --[dur: 0.3s]--> IDLE

Processing:

output = inputSample * envelopeLevel
// Level interpolated based on current state

Filters

Low-Pass Filter (One-pole):

y[n] = y[n-1] + α(x[n] - y[n-1])
α = 2π·fc / (2π·fc + sampleRate)

High-Pass Filter:

y[n] = α(y[n-1] + x[n] - x[n-1])

Distortion

Soft-clipping with tanh Saturation:

output = tanh(inputSample * gain) / tanh(gain)

💾 FILE EXPORT FORMATS

WAV Export (16-bit PCM)

File Structure:

RIFF Header
├── riffId: "RIFF"
├── riffSize: file_size - 8
└── waveId: "WAVE"

fmt Chunk (Audio Format)
├── fmtId: "fmt "
├── fmtSize: 16 (PCM)
├── audioFormat: 1 (PCM)
├── numChannels: 1-2
├── sampleRate: 44100 Hz
├── byteRate: sampleRate × channels × 2
├── blockAlign: channels × 2
└── bitsPerSample: 16

data Chunk (Audio Samples)
├── dataId: "data"
└── samples: [16-bit PCM samples...]

Output Example:

Filename: test_output.wav
Size: ~170+ KB (2 seconds @ 44.1 kHz mono)
Codec: PCM, 16-bit, 44100 Hz, Mono

CAF Export (Custom Binary)

Proprietary Format for game engine optimization:

Header (24 bytes)
├── magic[4]: "CAFS"
├── version: 0x00000001
├── sampleRate: 44100
├── sampleCount: 88200
├── channels: 1
└── bitDepth: 32 (float32)

Audio Data
└── [float32 samples...] (native byte order)

Advantages:

Direct buffer loading in game engines
Float32 precision preservation
Minimal parsing overhead
Binary-efficient storage

JSON Recipe Export (Procedural)

SynthRecipe Structure:

{
  "oscillatorType": "sine",
  "frequency": 880.0,
  "attackTime": 0.05,
  "decayTime": 0.1,
  "sustainLevel": 0.7,
  "releaseTime": 0.3,
  "filterCutoff": 5000.0,
  "filterType": "lowpass",
  "distortionAmount": 0.0,
  "description": "Test A5 note with envelope"
}

Use Cases:

Runtime synthesis in game engines
Audio asset versioning
Procedural sound generation
Synthesis parameter documentation

Commit Style Analysis

✅ Semantic Versioning: All commits use feat:, fix:, build:, chore: prefixes ✅ Atomic Units: Each commit is independently reviewable and functional ✅ Clear Messages: Specific, descriptive, implementation-focused ✅ Logical Ordering: Foundation → Features → Integration → Testing

🧪 TEST COVERAGE

Test Executables

✨ CODE QUALITY METRICS

Memory Management

✅ Smart Pointers: std::shared_ptr for lifetime management ✅ No Raw Allocations: new/delete only in main() for demo ✅ RAII Pattern: Constructors acquire, destructors release ✅ No Memory Leaks: Verified through code review

Type Safety

✅ Strong Enums: enum class for waveform types, ADSR states ✅ Const-Correctness: Proper const on getters and read methods ✅ No Implicit Conversions: Explicit constructors where needed

Code Organization

✅ Header Guards: #pragma once on all headers ✅ Namespacing: WaveShaper::Core and WaveShaper::IO ✅ Separation of Concerns: Each class has single responsibility ✅ Minimal Coupling: Dependencies through abstract interfaces

Standards Compliance

✅ C++17 Standard: Modern language features, no deprecated code ✅ Cross-Platform: MSVC, GCC, Clang compatible ✅ Warnings: Compiled with /W4 (MSVC) and -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic (GCC)
