# TinySoundFont
SoundFont2 synthesizer library in a single C/C++ file
## Overview
TinySoundFont is a software synthesizer using SoundFont2 sound bank files.
The library is a single C header file so it is extremely simple to integrate in your C/C++ projects.
```c++
#define TSF_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "tsf.h"
...
tsf* TinySoundFont = tsf_load_filename("soundfont.sf2");
tsf_set_output(TinySoundFont, TSF_MONO, 44100, 0); //sample rate
tsf_note_on(TinySoundFont, 0, 60, 1.0f); //preset 0, middle C
short HalfSecond[22050]; //synthesize 0.5 seconds
tsf_render_short(TinySoundFont, HalfSecond, 22050, 0);
```
The library code is based on [SFZero by Steve Folta](https://github.com/stevefolta/SFZero).
## Documentation
The API documentation can be found on [top of the library source code](https://github.com/schellingb/TinySoundFont/blob/master/tsf.h).
There are also [examples available](https://github.com/schellingb/TinySoundFont/tree/master/examples) which come with a sample SoundFont file and build and play sound on Win32, Win64, Linux and MacOSX with no further dependencies.
## Dependencies
C standard libraries for fopen, math and malloc (can be removed by providing custom functions with #defines).
## License
TinySoundFont is available under the [MIT license](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/).
