Android - Mixing multiple static waveforms into a single AudioTrack

Question

I am making a class that takes an array of frequencies values (i.e. 440Hz, 880Hz, 1760Hz) and plays how they would sound combined into a single AudioTrack. I am not a sound prog

Answer 1

Ok, so the answer did turn out to be a simple summation loop. Here it is, just replace this for loop with the original one:

    // fill out the array
    for (int i = 0; i < numOfSamples; ++i) {
            double valueSum = 0;

            for (int j = 0; j < soundData.length; j++) {
                valueSum += Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * i / (SAMPLE_RATE / soundData[j][0]));
            }

            sample[i] = valueSum / soundData.length;
    }

Now, what this does is simply take all possible frequencies, add them together into the variable, valueSum, and then divide that by the length of the frequency array, soundData, which is a simple average. This produces a nice sine wave mixture of an arbitrarily long array of frequencies.

I haven't tested performance, but I do have this running in a thread, otherwise it could crash the UI. So, hope this helps - I am marking this as the answer.
