synthesizer

I have a guitar diagram app for Android that I am porting to iOS. Android has a embedded midi synthesizer (sonivox), so I can generate midi files and let Android handle the playback. Is there a way to do this on iOS? Or are there very lightweight embeddable synths for iOS? Update: My answer is out-of-dated. @lukebuehler's answer is much appropriate. If you don't mind non-opensource solution, try FMOD . Being a commercial audio engine for games, fmod equips a simple MIDI synth. I've tried the free evaluation version. It plays GM MIDI files correctly on my iPhone 3G. If what you want is not just

I am trying to understand the purpose of the synthesize directive with property name overriding. Say that I have an interface defined as follow: @interface Dummy ... { UILabel *_dummyLabel; } @property (retain, nonatomic) UILabel *dummyLabel; And in the implementation file, I have: @synthesize dummyLabel = _dummyLabel; From what i understand, "dummyLabel" is just an alias of the instance variable "_dummyLabel". Is there any difference between self._dummyLabel and self.dummyLabel? Yes. self._dummyLabel is undefined, however _dummyLabel is not. Dot syntax expands out to simple method invocations

I would like to change the gender and age of the voice of System.Speech in c#. For example, a girl of 10 years but can not find any simple example to help me adjust the parameters. First, check which voices you have installed by enumerating the GetInstalledVoices method of the SpeechSynthesizer class, and then use SelectVoiceByHints to select one of them: using (SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer()) { // show installed voices foreach (var v in synthesizer.GetInstalledVoices().Select(v => v.VoiceInfo)) { Console.WriteLine("Name:{0}, Gender:{1}, Age:{2}", v.Description, v
