✨ STK-DEMO(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

🎀 NAME

okay bestie, so this is the stk-demo thing 🦋 — it's a Sound Synthesis Toolkit demo application, and it is literally iconic 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS

stk-demo Instrument [options]
STKDemo

🧚 DESCRIPTION

okay so the stk-demo program shows off a bunch of the algorithms built into the Sound Synthesis Toolkit (STK) ✨ it's a command line program, but it also has a GUI frontend called STKDemo 🎧 so if you want to try out the different synthesis algorithms STK has, go use STKDemo, no cap 💜

the stk-demo program can be used to build your own synthesizer/sequencer combo 🔥 it's literally listening to SKINI commands on stdin 👂

Instrument can be one of the following 👇

Clarinet, BlowHole, Saxofony, Flute, Brass, BlowBotl, Bowed, Plucked, StifKarp, Sitar, Mandolin, Rhodey, Wurley, TubeBell, HevyMetl, PercFlut, BeeThree, FMVoices, VoicForm, Moog, Simple, Drummer, BandedWG, Shakers, ModalBar, Mesh2D, Resonate, Whistle 🌈

multiple output types? yes, supported 🙌 multiple control input types at the same time? also supported, bestie 💅 you can pipe or redirect SKINI formatted scorefiles into stk-demo 📜 but be careful: realtime control flags should be omitted when you do that 🙈 if you don't specify the optional <file names>, default names will be indicated 🍓 and every flag must include its own - sign, periodt ⭐
