Build & project setup, get working hello-world program.

QTWidgets hello-world program: basic increment/reset counter

RtAudio hello-world: basic sine output

Connect UI control to sound output, add a slider for frequency control

Add note control via either Midi or a keyboard. Coordinate on-off events to start and stop tone generation

Create a widget for this smart-slider to clean up the ui code

Add envelope generation, attach to global volume for now. ADSR and such, responds to note-on/note-off events

Make midi/keyboard control cross-platform. Use case will mostly be Midi -> linux and Keyboard -> windows though

Create oscillator class where the actual tone generation occurs. Multiple oscillators increase the sound complexity considerably

Create a UI scope to visualize the synthesized composite waveform

Create wavetables for more complex tone generation. Needs to be selectable from ui

Wavetable file loading

Create digital filters, prob biquad. Controllable from ui obv (cutoff + resonance)

Add polyphony somewhere. Probably involves a voice class. If processing power allows it, tie a voice to each midi note

polyphony is lacking sustain pedal rn

planning gets sparse this far out because its how far I got with the ESP32 synth

Filter upgrades including some more complex solving techniques (State Variable Filter), better key tracking, more natural envelope curves, filter drive, etc.

Reverb (quite a few ways to do this, needs more research)

Pitch tuning with the multiple oscillators (Octave > Semitone > Fine-tune)

Frequency Modulation (huge)

Profile saving and loading, also includes loading configurations like keymaps, audio engine config, etc. from a yaml instead of being hardcoded

Noise

LFO modulation
