Adaptation of Cmask to the Go programming language

Adaptation of Cmask to the Go programming language

This package is an adaptation of Andre Bartetzki's Cmask software for the Go programming language. It provides a library that can be imported in any Go program. The library is called gmasklib.

You can install this package with go get:

go get github.com/fggp/gmask

The original Cmask software was written by Andre Bartetzki. Andre has stopped Cmask development but the software is still present on his site: http://www.bartetzki.de/en/software.html.

Cmask was published under GPL. Thanks to Andre who kindly allowed me to publish gmasklib under LGPL:

"Dear François,

thanks for bringing Cmask to a new life!
Yes, you may publish Gmask under LGPL.
best

Andre"

The gmask library can be imported in any go program. See the gmasklib/docs directory for the library documentation. The library is more permissive than the gmask program. For example, in the gmask program some generators can take args that are a value or a breakpoint function. In the library, those generators can accept for the same args a value or any generator. This means that you could for example create a tendency mask with a rnd generator as low boundarie and an osc-mask-quantizer daisy chain as high boundarie: in the gmask library, generators have type Generator and modifiers as well.
