SOFTWARE
Dilonardo Audio Tools
This single application provides a complete suite of multimedia tools, leveraging real-time computer simulations to generate both sounds and sound banks.
It boasts an integrated sampler for immediate MIDI playback and a multi-instrument, unconstrained music sequencer, offering an all-in-one solution.
Time, tempo, frequency, amplitude and synthesis freedom for everyone.
The sequencer is so precise it can even be used to synthesize instruments and harmonics all on its own.
It's free of charge and already very powerful.

Demos
Demo V2025.09.09.1 - InstrumentalWAV - 15.1 MB
This demo music was composed using samples generated with Dilonardo Tools version 2025.09.09.1 and written with the unconstrained music sequencer.
Only the first instrument (main strings) is a .wav injection into the simulator to create a new sound. All other sounds (including: brass, bass, cymbal, kind of piano, bell, old violin, low-volume timpani, ...) are 100% generated.
No plugins (dry sound) were used in this music, the only post-processing being a FabFilter Limiter set to +6 dB TruePeak mode to bring out the details.
This demo is included in the software download.

Demo V2021.10.04.1 ONLY - ExperimentalWAV - 36.2 MB
Demo music that was composed using samples generated with Dilonardo Tools version 2021.10.04.1 ONLY.
In this version, everything has been made with Dilonardo Tools, and the sound has been pushed with some hard limiting effects, delays, ... I made it mainly using Cubase Pro 11 and the Dilonardo Tools' samples are played using HALion 6 and Iris 2. For an instrument, I have fixed a stereo issue (that was hearable when playing the music in mono) using MAutoStereoFix.
Description
Try this software if you need a new sound.
It uses animated computer simulations and multi-threads to render .wav audio stereo files at up to 64 bits floating point precision. The whole application is built using modern C++, and a home made user interface framework.
It generates true stereo sounds and even musical notes; the left and right channels are not an altered version of each other. You have many choices regarding how to compute the different audio channels, regarding of the different recording sources. Mono samples are supported as well.
Full Workflow:
- Initialize Simulation
- New Simulation: Press "New" [Ctrl+N] to start a fresh simulation.
- Load Existing: Open an existing simulation file.
- Edit
- Edit Simulation: In the Edit pane, add particles, physics and links.
- Preview: Activate the preview to see the simulation result in real-time while editing. This allows you to visualize changes before switching back to the Simulation pane.
- Observe and Adjust
- Real-time Simulation: Deactivate "Sync" [F] to watch the simulation evolve.
- Auto-Fit: Activate "Auto Fit" [*] to keep the simulation centered.
- Parameter Adjustment: Modify global parameters to influence behavior in real-time.
- Restart: Restart the simulation for a fresh start.
- Recording Method
- Recording Settings: Set how data should be recorded and processed. Try to record positions or accelerations.
- Record Data
- Start Recording: Activate data recording.
- Generate Audio
- Write Sound: Click "Write" [W] or "Write Sound Bank" [Ctrl+W] to create a .wav file.
- Post-Process Audio
- Test: Play with the generated sound using the on-screen keyboard or a midi keyboard.
- Process and Save: Edit and apply post-processing effects to the .wav file and save the result.
- Write Music
- Edit: Edit instruments and patterns, by mouse or using live midi recording.
- Render: Choose which patterns and instruments to render and build a final WAV file with high oversampling, or simply use the sequencer to render the simulated instrument.
For your first attempt, try the quickest direct method to generate sound.
Minimal Workflow:
- Simulation Edit Pane: Press [F1] to switch to the simulation edit pane.
- New Simulation: [Ctrl+N] to start a fresh simulation.
- Simulation Run Pane: Press [F2] to switch to the simulation edit pane.
- Minimal Distance: Press [G] to activate the Globals panel and increase the minimum distance [Alt+C] to add more stability. Press [G] again to close the dialog box.
- Generate: Press [R] to record the simulation from start.
- Build WAV: Press [W] to stop rendering and generate the sound to the WAV Pane.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom, and the middle or right mouse button to pan the view.
This software needs a powerful and multi-core computer to run well, on a Windows 10, 11 or more, and a 64 bits operating system only.
If you experience a very slow user interface, try to deactivate the Sync option, doing this will use all the processor's cores, and detach the display from the simulation processing.
The super maximized mode is a feature visible only if you have multiple monitors.

Changes between release version 2022.11.16.1 and 2024.9.29.1
VST2 and ASIO
- VST2 has been replaced by CLAP, and ASIO by WASAPI
- VST2 and ASIO support have been removed from Dilonardo Audio Tools, because VST2 has been discontinued by Steinberg Technologies, and they no longer allow any development that uses it. Although VST3 technology is authorized, it is more complicated to implement. What's more, there's no guarantee of its longevity or the right to use it.
Links: VST2 support discontinued and new VST2 developments no more allowed - CLAP is a better, simpler and more durable technology, which is free of rights.
There are fewer plug-ins available yet, but this is only a matter of time.
Links: about CLAP new technology and about Wasapi
WAV generation

- Fixed some oversampling calculations
- Added data preprocessing operations: reverse, flip X/Y axes, swap X and Y axis, X/Y axes power, resize, fade in and out
- Samples are part of a sound bank upon their filename, if you save all the WAVs of a sound bank, reloading all of them (drag'n'drop frow a Windows files explorer) will bring back the sound bank
- Added maximum recorded data count to avoid recording too many data (useful for the spatial generator and other)
- And more...

This release produces a better and richer sound, just enjoy it!
Changes between release version 2021.10.04.1 and 2022.05.31.1
WAV generation
- Added true fractals WAV build method to create more complex and greater sounds
- Added multiply WAV build method
- Added DC bias fix option for every recorded particle (enabled by default, disable this option if your project done with an older version sounds differently)
- Added volume fix option for every recorded particle (enabled by default, disable this option if your project done with an older version sounds differently)
Simulation
- Added a new deviation method to rotate particles and to keep their orbits without the need to reduce their mobilities
- Added a new global variable to ignore the simulation when a given distance has been reached, this is useful to build parallel simulations that don't affect each other, and to get a richer sound
- Added a new global variable to limit the maximum particles speed
Simulation edit mode
- Added two new particle parameters: speed factor and recording amplitude, to generate a richer sound
- The simulation preview is now updated when changing the particles types
- Added new particles types: Spring alone, Spring together and Spring together only, including other particles attraction or not. To change their behaviors, just change their masses, as well as their speed and running speed factor. Then lower a little bit their mobilities, and enjoy! Let some other kind of particles pass over them, to shake them over time. More work is planned on these kind of particles as well as other new types
- Added new particles add method: Particles grid
- Fixed a crash occurring when the real-time steps count was changed using the value input dialog box
WAV editor
- Added support for 64 bits audio import (converted to 32 bits), and audio export can now be in 16 or 32 bits
- Added amplify audio processing which also works on the frequency domain
- Added selection extension to 0 axis crossing points
- Added audio recording
- Added mono playback support that mixes the left and right audio channels to monitor stereo issues
- Better auto volume and auto loudness algorithms
- File open is now available also when the editor is empty
- Closing the last WAV won't close the WAV editor anymore
- Added a small vertical margin to the waveform and frequency views, in order to clearly see the bounds
- Fixed deletion of selected frequencies range in frequencies view mode
- Fixed starting offset when playing audio
User interface
- Some lengthy tasks can now be aborted (started with fractals and waveforms sound generation)
- Added 'Small' button to the windows captions to resize the window to its minimal allowed size
- Moved the user interface display ratio feature in a button at the top left corner of main windows
- Internal enhancements to allow multiple values per button
- Fixed mouse move and click over empty space of item selection dialog boxes, when the mouse is after the last item
- Fixed windows minimal sizes, ignored system display zoom factor, and taken into account the UI zoom ratio for all customized windows
- Fixed some default values
- Fixed nested levels buttons highlight for the contextual menu key
- Fixed modal windows behavior

Changes between release version 2021.05.24.1 and 2021.10.04.1
- Great enhancements to the edit mode, including simulation preview in real-time
- Real-time preview of the recorded data with multi-curves display
- The WAV is now generated internally and can be played and edited before saving it
- Load and save of the simulation project, keeping the display layout
- File open/save using standard Microsoft's dialog boxes
- Faster and better user interface, fixed bugs, many new features, including dynamic values changes using the right mouse button on the numerical value, the old GDI technology has been removed
- Added high DPI support (customized UI only), 'User interface display ratio' on the settings panel
- Added multiple monitors support (you have more buttons on the window's corner, if you have more than one display)
- Many simulations algorithms, including General Relativity, Newton, Trigonometric, PowN, ...
- Choose which particles should be recorded and the reference particle
- Added support for particles types, more types will come in the next release
- Added more simulation globals, that can be modified while recording for fun effects
- Added physics with substeps, a deflector and a gravity zone, acoustical features are planned for the next release
- Oversampling feature
- Added many recording sources, including positions, vector of X and Y positions, speeds, accelerations, vector of speeds and accelerations, distances and forces
- Added many WAV build methods, including mix, weighted on mass, inversely weighted on mass, center point, trigonometric, cosinus & sinus, median, minimum, maximum, harmonics and waveform
- All the recording sources can be recorded to separate files, along with the main build one
- The new WAV editor can open multiple files at the same time
- Drag'n'drop support for simulation project files and WAV files
- Added simulation project comments
- The WAV editor contains sound processing on selected range like trim, reverse, resampling, fade, auto volume, auto loudness, maximize, DC bias, smooth (can be used to fix waveforms problems), low pass filter, high pass filter, on one or both channels
- Moreover, the WAV editor has also a curve/frequency edit feature while holding the ALT key and pressing the left mouse button
- Added multiple view modes for the WAV editor, including waveform, all data as dots, frequencies (FFT, DFT, FFT pulses, Goertzel, ... some of them are still in development)
- Fixed some multi-threading issues
- Fixed fps calculation
- The application is in Unicode, 64 bits
- The project has been configured for CUDA, but I have disabled it, because more tests are needed
- This version can be executed directly from the zip file, but this is not recommended
