Kira is a backend-agnostic library to create expressive audio for games. It provides tweens for smoothly adjusting properties of sounds, a flexible mixer for applying effects to audio, a clock system for precisely timing audio events, and spatial audio support.
Playing a sound multiple times simultaneously:
use kira::{
manager::{
AudioManager, AudioManagerSettings,
backend::DefaultBackend,
},
sound::static_sound::StaticSoundData,
};
// Create an audio manager. This plays sounds and manages resources.
let mut manager = AudioManager::<DefaultBackend>::new(AudioManagerSettings::default())?;
let sound_data = StaticSoundData::from_file("sound.ogg")?;
manager.play(sound_data.clone())?;
// After a couple seconds...
manager.play(sound_data.clone())?;
// Cloning the sound data will not use any extra memory.Gradually speeding up a sound over time:
use std::time::Duration;
use kira::{
manager::{
AudioManager, AudioManagerSettings,
backend::DefaultBackend,
},
sound::static_sound::StaticSoundData,
tween::Tween,
};
let mut manager = AudioManager::<DefaultBackend>::new(AudioManagerSettings::default())?;
let sound_data = StaticSoundData::from_file("sound.ogg")?;
let mut sound = manager.play(sound_data)?;
// Start smoothly adjusting the playback rate parameter.
sound.set_playback_rate(
2.0,
Tween {
duration: Duration::from_secs(3),
..Default::default()
},
);Playing a sound with a low-pass filter applied (this makes the audio sound muffled):
use kira::{
manager::{
AudioManager, AudioManagerSettings,
backend::DefaultBackend,
},
sound::static_sound::StaticSoundData,
track::{
TrackBuilder,
effect::filter::FilterBuilder,
},
