NOTICE: This project will be disappearing sometime in early 2022.
For personal reasons, I am distancing myself from the Soundpipe project, and removing the repos. Sporth is heavily dependent on Soundpipe, so an unfortunate consequence of Soundpipe officially ceasing to exist is that Sporth will also have to disappear. You can't have one without the other.
The spirit of Sporth and stack-based audio will live on in other projects of mine in the future.
It's been a good run, folks. I've really enjoyed the emails I've gotten from Sporth users over the years. It's been exciting seeing the creative efforts Sporth. has enabled. But yeah, I'm done here.
Happy Hacking Everyone.

Sporth (short for SoundPipe fORTH), is a small stack-based musical language, roughly inspired by stack languages like Forth and PostScript.
- Stack oriented paradigm
- Written entirely in C
- 100+ unit generators to choose from
- Powered by the Soundpipe DSP library
- Unix-Friendly
- Small codebase
- Powerful C API
- Easily extendable
- Easily embeddable
In order to compile Sporth, SoundPipe needs to be installed.
Then:
- make
- sudo make install
To see Sporth in action, run this command from the inside the project directory:
sporth -d 5s -o dialtone.wav examples/dialtone.sp
This will generate a 5 second audio clip of sound.
More information on Sporth can be found here.
Several examples demonstrating specific ugens can be found in the examples folder of the repository. More musical examples can be found on the Sporthlings page.
