Generate audio filles like a synth yet?

[Bill DeWitt]

I have most of my Tasker needs figured out, but every year or so I drop in to ask if anyone has found a way to generate sounds on the fly like a synthesizer might do. Like maybe a synth with a tasker plugin? I hoped once I could use CSound with Tasker but was never able to get it to work.

Have you looked at the "Beep" action. That action generates a tone at a specified frequency and duration.

[Bill DeWitt]

Yes, thank you. But I want to create different sounds in changing conditions, overtones, Instruments and animals etc. which add or vary according to various external conditions.

Ah, you are looking for a full sound synthesizer application. Tasker may be in the wrong place to be looking for one.

I think the most simple route would be to generate midi files and throw that file at a midi compiler/interpreter with play media.

Otherwise 

You could probably code a sound generator that could take your harmonic weights and give it an ASDR (Attack Sustain Decay Release) profile and generate a waveform. 

That would be the basic program, subsequently it could be expanded to have reverb swell echo etc knobs for enhancing the generated sound more, but that's getting into even more complexity. 

There comes a time when you should probably look at other environments for coding, then maybe define api to allow tasker to call it.  All depends upon your skillset.
