Hey thats brilliant. It's almost like Audio Mulch. Actaully im building something which is exactly the same. Thanks for your midi input code. I've been wrapping my midi ports using managed handles and it crashes my machine everytime i try and close them... anyway - i am impressed at your attempt. how about midi,video, parameter and vector streaming.... By the way, there is a nice little open souce .NET schematic editor in sourceforge.net called netron, thats what in using for my graph building..... but weldone. im glad to see somebody contributing something meaningful to the media software out there, and thanks for the insipration. i will release my code onto source forge when it is a little more complete....
Have a great day.
Most kindest regards

I consider this an evolutionary step in multimedia programming. Why is it that im the first person to comment. For me i find this extremely exiting that other people are working on the same concept. I believe this is the way forward....

Thankyou very much for your comments Nicn, I'm glad to see that you understood what i'm trying to do, and I'm very curious to see what you are doing in your project, I'll keep an eye on your weblog.
About streaming: it's exactly what i'm going to add, but I'm trying to find a way to keep it simple at the same time.
I have many nice ideas about this software, I'd like to make something which can be used not only for music but for multimedia in general, including 2D/3D effects, video, ...
I think that a software for realtime-multimedia is missing and would be so fun!

I've been really busy (making good progress) - but i thought you shoulfd know about this - http://sourceforge.net/projects/psycle/ , http://psycle.pastnotecut.org - along the same lines of concept as your s and mine - mostly implemented and fully functional. :D
will send you the asio swig files as soon as they're working nicely... caio...

I'm very busy too (preparing an exam on machine learning) I 'll try that tracker as soon as I have time, I'm so curious...
Thank you in advance for your swigs!
(Coming soon on Knack: load/save functions)

I tried Psycle: I hate the interface. it's too much for geeks, too much a classical tracker like FastTracker

Nic wrote:

Ahh, the interface is not a beauty. What i like about it is that it combines the old tracker style with the new modular streaming paradigm. streaming a mod into vst instruments and effects is a kewl idea.

(my proggie is chasing audiomulch sync in the form of midi timecode now !!! - but still crashing and keeping the midi ins locked, argh. waiting for a stable release and more framework to release first version)

Machine learning - wow - what are you studying ? Google Science ?

I've done some hard core infinetly configurable association tree framework for machines to learn and be able to associate entities in any category heirachy with entities in any other category heirachy, and all child nodes of an associated node implicitly inherit the associations of it's parents...
if thats machine learning then i have my doctorate in it!!! otherwise i might be wrong -
What degree are you training for ?

H3 wrote:

Yes, I think it's definitively machine learning :-) I'm finishing my "Laurea Specialistica in Informatica", it's computer science and it's an additional 2 years course after the 3 years degree. It's quite generic and there's much more theory then pactice. (what i hate now is that i have to LEARN useless theorems like a MACHINE lol) Surely I won't have a doctorate: I'd like to have some practice and some money before dieing ;-)

You must be well clued up by now... i imaging anybody who has ever been into the demoscene is a serious guru. I droped out of BSc Information Technology / Comp.Sci because they were feeding me with shit that was making me hate computers. I though i'd rather be spend the time on my own projects and learn more relavant stuff.

Kewl, mulchFX is done well. I sat up late last night trying to make stop/pause/play/rewind/ff/... buttons etc. Damb it, i just cannot design nice looking buttons.

What i though is really needed (I have searched now too much for it) is a good application skinning framework for c#. It seems there is not even a commercial component that does this. Im sure that hundreds of people would love a skinnable form component. I think an HTML-like structure would do well using a runtime compiler like ASP.NET and code behind pages...
(no progress with swigs just yet)... the good looks of my interface is too damb important to me. it's one of my coding faults. Too much damb asthetics to concentrate on kernal functionality... caio

H3 wrote:

I think that skinned apps are a bad thing (excluding small window apps like winamp) cause they don't integrate well with the desktop: one should instead skin as he likes the whole OS-theme. I like to design good looking interfaces too but I gave myself the rule to do that only when the most important parst are already coded and working.
About university: shurely I would have learned more by myself, the only good thing is that they forced me to learn something about everything and not everything about something as I would have done by myself. (and knowing the theory sometimes helps you write better algorithms)
ciao
P.S. It's "ciao", not "caio" ;-)

Yip, i have realized functionality is more valuable that good looks. However I found what i was looking for : myXAML (winforms aspx code behind page style)

I have much respect for people who are studying cos it's something that takes an enourmous will. It sounds like you are getting value of of your coarse.

Ps. Use Dotfuscator else your code IS open source - USE Luts Roeder's .NET reflector app from gotdotnet - will disassemble your code line for line. Please don't be mad at me for checking - I just viewed it without saving... Just letting you know so that next time you release your code it's not going to be disassemblable.


ciao

Thank you for the advice, I knew about the need for obfuscation (there's the same problem in java) I was searching for a freeware/opensource obfuscator but I coundn't find one. Dotfuscator is free only if you use Visual Studio, and I'm not using it (i'm using SharpDevelop).. probably i'll start using VS just to obfuscate.
