Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

opl.js

Javascript wrapper: Copyright 2018 Adam Nielsen <[email protected]>
OPL emulator: Copyright 2002-2015 The DOSBox Team

This is a Javascript wrapper around the OPL3 emulator included in DOSBox. It allows OPL-compatible FM synthesis from within Javascript code, running in Node or in the browser.

The emulator is written in C++ and compiled to Javascript WebAssembly with Emscripten. A small wrapper is provided to simplify the interface between the C++ code and the Javascript code.

Example code is provided, both for the Node environment (with require()) and for the browser (using <script/>).

Installation

npm install @malvineous/opl

Use

const OPL = require('@malvineous/opl');

OPL.create().then(opl => {
    opl.write(0xBD, 0x20);
    const samples = opl.generate(512);
    // samples now contains 512 16-bit stereo samples as a Uint8Array
});

Examples

In the examples/ folder there are some short demonstrations showing how to interface with the OPL emulator.

The web example may not work if loading the HTML file directly, as some browsers do not like loading WebAssembly files from file:// URLs. To run this example, you can either upload it somewhere or use Node to run serve-demo-web.js which will use ExpressJS to host the necessary files. You may need to run npm install --dev to get ExpressJS installed first.

Limitations

The library is only focused on generating the audio. It does not feature any sort of playback or audio mixing mechanism, as this is likely to be very different for different projects. You will need to include another library in your project if you wish to play the generated audio. The web example shows how to use WebAudio for playback in the browser, and the Node example shows how to save the generated audio to a .wav file instead.

8-bit and floating point audio formats are not supported. You can still use these formats, but you'll need to convert the signed 16-bit samples into these formats yourself. The WebAudio sample code shows conversion to floating point.

Contributing

When you install the release with npm the WebAssembly binary is included. This is not part of the git repository, so if you clone the repo you will need to install emscripten in order to compile the C++ code into Javascript.

Once emscripten is installed, run:

npm run build

This will compile the C++ code in src/ and put the compiled files into lib/.
