<brief_description>
Audio stream that generates sounds procedurally.
An audio stream with utilities for procedural sound generation.
</brief_description>
<description>
This audio stream does not play back sounds, but expects a script to generate audio data for it instead. See also [AudioStreamGeneratorPlayback].
[AudioStreamGenerator] is a type of audio stream that does not play back sounds on its own; instead, it expects a script to generate audio data for it. See also [AudioStreamGeneratorPlayback].
Here's a sample on how to use it to generate a sine wave:
[codeblock]
var playback # Will hold the AudioStreamGeneratorPlayback.
@onready var sample_hz = $AudioStreamPlayer.stream.mix_rate
var pulse_hz = 440.0 # The frequency of the sound wave.
func _ready():
$AudioStreamPlayer.play()
playback = $AudioStreamPlayer.get_stream_playback()
fill_buffer()
func fill_buffer():
var phase = 0.0
var increment = pulse_hz / sample_hz
var frames_available = playback.get_frames_available()
for i in range(frames_available):
playback.push_frame(Vector2.ONE * sin(phase * TAU))
phase = fmod(phase + increment, 1.0)
[/codeblock]
In the example above, the "AudioStreamPlayer" node must use an [AudioStreamGenerator] as its stream. The [code]fill_buffer[/code] function provides audio data for approximating a sine wave.
See also [AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer] for performing real-time audio spectrum analysis.
[b]Note:[/b] Due to performance constraints, this class is best used from C# or from a compiled language via GDExtension. If you still want to use this class from GDScript, consider using a lower [member mix_rate] such as 11,025 Hz or 22,050 Hz.
