I would like to port a desktop music application to run inside the browser. Cunningham et al proposed using Flash a couple of years ago. I don't think it ever got off the ground though. Probably because Flash isn't really suited for a complex interactive editing application. Aside from simplifying the animation of the caret and scrol...
Who here is both a musician and a programmer? I would also be curious to know which instruments you play, the ages at which you started programming and playing music, your personal experiences, etc. Perhaps we can find a relationship between these two things. I'll begin: Piano since 10, Computer since 12, I am 21. Note: Question origi...
One song per answer please! We have discussed music you listen to while coding, but I looking for music related to coding and coders. It can be eclectic or mainstream, and even a bit of a stretch (just explain the connection). Vote for your favorite song or add it if it isn't already here. Link to lyrics, band, music, video, etc., ...
Is there a way to play a Christmas tune on a PC or Mac without having a pre-recorded sound file? (No .mp3 or .wav or whatever-sound file) I remember on my TI 99/4A and Apple II sounds (resembling music) could be played. Not sure if modern computers have these abilities (aside from beep). ...
I recently found out about livecoding where someone will program something on the fly to make music. Apparently there are special languages and libraries for this sort of thing. So I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with it and if they have any languages, libraries or tools to suggest. ...
Any ideas of how to make it? I think the Background Music Component For Delphi is a excellent choice, but damn, I can't find it anywhere to download, even a trial.. the homepage is down and all the download sites are using the original download link (homepage). ...
Ok, So I created a RC file: Chipas RCDATA "chiptune.xm" And compiled it to RES. Added this RES, BASSMOD.pas and BASSMOD.dll to my project dir. Now I need to play that chiptune from the resource. How can I do it? I tried this, but it doesn't loads. procedure play; begin MyResource:=FindResource(HInstance, 'Chipas', RT_RCDATA); if M...
I would love to design a web application for a guitar tablature editor. There are a few desktop apps such as Guitar Pro and Tuxguitar that are great. They basically allow you to load a tablature file, and then the software allows you to edit and play the tablature. What would be even better would be a web-based version of these programs....
Recently I asked about scripting FruityLoops or Reason from Python, which didn't turn up much. Today I found LMMS, a free-software FruityLoops clone. So, similarly. Has anyone tried scripting this from Python (or similar)? Is there an API or wrapper for accessing its resources from outside? If not, what would be the right approach to t...
There's this tech-festival in IIT-Bombay, India, where they're having an event called "Artbots" where we're supposed to design artbots with artistic abilities. I had an idea about a musical robot which takes a song as input, detects the notes in the song and plays it back on a piano. I need some method which will help me compute the pitc...
When I try to list Synthesizer devices in Java (1.6.0), I get only one device, Java Sound Synthesizer. I want to use the Synthesizer in the sound card or use any other installed synthesizer, eg. the Microsoft Synthesizer. How can I go about doing that ? If this capability is not inbuilt, is there any open source project that act as front...
Has to be free. ...
When it comes to classifying music by genre, I've found wikipedia to have more interesting genre information than most other data sources. I seem to remember a database that collected this sort of information from Wikipedia and made it more easily accessible, but I couldn't google anything up today. If I was to attempt to retrieve this...
Hey folks, How would you model a simple musical score for a single instrument written in regular standard notation? Certainly there are plenty of libraries out there that do exactly this. I'm mostly curious about different ways to represent music in a data structure. What works well and what doesn't? Ignoring some of the trickier aspec...
I want to know how to perform "spectral change detection" for the classification of vocal & non-vocal segments of a song. We need to find the spectral changes from a spectrogram. Any elaborate information about this, particularly involving MATLAB? ...
I would like to write an interactive song. It would contain state and logic. A listener/user should be able to modify some state vars using a GUI or a MIDI interface. Listener accessible vars don't have to directly represent tempo, pitch or any other music property. They would rather represent values that logic would process in order to ...
We are working on Sound processing and Analysis where we need to extract frequencies, pitches, octaves and other parameters of sound including dBPowerSpectrum Analysis. We also need to do this irrespective of the file formats or do the conversion between quite a file format(though conversion is not a very critical requirement if those pa...
I want to build an application, that deals with music. Don't want to get too specific, but a user will search for a song, and then they select it. I looked at Favtape, but they have no API. iMeem doesn't allow off site media playing, so my question is, is there any online resource that has a vast selection of songs? ...
I was making a website for a music band, and i was wondering the best way to play background music on the website without interrupting the flow of the music (even for a split second). At the moment, i am considering using frames, but this is not supposed to be good practice. Please someone tell me how i can do this. I would prefer to u...
I am looking into creating a web application that plays back musical tablature and I am hoping to find out what the best framework would be prior to investing an enormous amount of time programming it. Here is a visual of what I'm hoping the product would look like when finished: Guitar tablature is a great way to learn music and pic...
