Glicol and Bevy

[harudagondi]

Hello! I am interested in integrating a bunch of audio libraries into Bevy, a Rust game engine. Currently I have written a library for integrating FunDSP into Bevy (it's called bevy_fundsp). However, I found out recently that fundsp isn't really viable for exposing its API into a scripting language (like rhai). However, I recently discovered glicol, and I would like to use this in game development.

Is there a reason why glicol isn't published yet in crates.io?

Hi,

Thanks for the post! The integration looks interesting. The reason why Glicol is not on crates.io yet is that I am working on solving the channel matching issue. Without confirming these structural mechanisms, it would be very troublesome to publish now and refactor soon in the future. There are some other syntax issues to consider as well so the glicol_synth can be refactored drastically accordingly.

Once this is done, adding new nodes is fairly easy.

Unfortunately, I have quite a lot of personal issues to solve at the moment. So I can only work towards it gradually but I think once I am fully back to coding again it will be there soon.

Is there a Github issue for the channel matching?

Also, no worries. This isn't urgent :)

I guess it's this one #28

The limitation for two channels only is embodied with some hard-coded stuff. And I need to figure out what mechanism should be used when connecting a mono node to a stereo node, as well as the opposite.

Hey @chaosprint, if you wish I could prepare a 0.1 release of the components and transfer the ownership to you on crates.io
It would be sad if someone would namesquat the glicol name and use it for something else.
All 0.x versions are considerd major version releases by cargo so you should not worry about future refactors!

[harudagondi]

I think it's better if it is a 0.0.1 version first, so chaosprint can make a 0.1 release if they wish to do so.

Hi, that's a good point and thanks for offering the help. I can manage to publish those crates today, although the docs are not there yet. I'd like to keep them in sync with the current repo tag.

[chaosprint]

It's there now.
https://crates.io/search?q=glicol
I think the glicol_synth should be the one that is used most frequently.

Great!
