Probably should have mentioned this is Mac, not iOS.
Yes, there are Audio Units, but they’re not really what I’m after. You can’t simply create a generator audio unit and use it in an app to generate tones (as far as I’m aware) - it has to be part of the whole Core Audio signal chain. I’m looking for a much higher level approach if possible. I’m thinking perhaps AVAudioPlayer might be suitable, as it has an init method that takes an NSData object that is a sound buffer. I can definitely make one filled with sine values, but as usual the documentation lets me down - it states that the buffer must be formatted according to the supported formats listed in "Multimedia Programming Guide”, but I can find no such guide and the mention on the page isn’t a link.
