Cow is something like a waveform editor in that it generates a wave file from one or more graphs for amplitude and frequency. It has a graphical user interface that simplifies this process.

First i wrote some classes to generate wavefiles with graphs for amplitude and frequency. Thats really simple sound synthesis. The waveformeditor of Christopher Rowley[1] inspired me. As it worked i made a little GUI just because its more compfortable to edit the
graphs... Ok. I could produce sounds, thats fine. Someone lend me a midi-keyboard and i programmed something to play the sound at different tonepitches. Well, thats it. Was a funny project, still works for me, but i guess it is dead. This will be the last release so
far. Hope you have fun with it .

cowman reads midi-events from /dev/midi00 and plays the apropriate note on /dev/dsp. You must start it with a cow-file as command-line-option or with a configfile. See manpage.
