The aim of Tracktion Engine is to provide a high level data model and set of classes for building sequence based audio applications. You can build anything from a simple file-player or sequencer to a full blown DAW.
Take a look at the features document for the full range of features.
- macOS
- Windows
- Linux
- Raspberry PI
- iOS
- Android
Tracktion Engine is supplied as a JUCE module so it can easily fit in to an existing JUCE application. You'll find the module code under modules/tracktion_engine. Additionally, JUCE is added as a Git Submodule here in order to build the examples.
To start with, clone the repo and recurse the submodules:
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Tracktion/tracktion_engine.git
Example projects are located in /examples. These are provided as JUCE PIPs, and CMakeLists.txt files to build them using CMake. You will need CMake installed to generate the examples.
To generate all the examples for the running platform use the script in /tests.
These are bash scripts so if you're on Windows you can use the Git Bash shell that comes with Git to run the following.
$ cd tests
$ ./generate_examples
generate_examples will generate the IDE project files for you. Alternatively you can run the build script to build the examples as well, ready to run.
Once the example projects have been generated or built you can find them in examples/example_name/build.
Start with the PitchAndTimeDemo or StepSequencerDemo to see some basic apps in action.
If you want to build the Projucer app from JUCE you can load each of the PIP examples directly to generate the IDE files. You'll have to manually specify C++17 as the C++ standard however as this isn't currently possible via the PIP format.
Once you're ready to dive in to the code, open the IDE files and have a read through the tutorials in /tutorials. You can view these on GitHub here to see the rendered Markdown.
We are still in the process of fleshing out Doxygen formatted comments but the Doxygen generated documentation can be found here: https://tracktion.github.io/tracktion_engine/modules.html
We're in the process of creating a portal to view and examine our benchmarks. This is really for our own internal use but might be of interest to some people: https://tracktion.github.io/tracktion_benchmarks
