  Hello everyone :) This message is a round up of where Beats By Design is right now and plans for the future. ----------------------------------------- :: bbd app ----------------------------------------- As you may have noticed from comments on the site or using the app, bbd can't play loops properly. Most of my efforts since the last stable release (0.4.6) have gone into fixing this. In a nutshell: I can't solve this problem because of issues with sound programming in Java 1.4 and all available midi libraries (JMusic, MidiShare and QuickTime). This is a real show-stopper. It makes bbd un-usable for live performance, un-intuitive for composition and un-inspiring to develop further. *In theory*, the latest version of Java (1.5 beta) should solve this. Unfortunatly, it's only avaliable on Windows, Linux and Solaris; I'm developing on Apple Mac OS X. I've no idea when Apple plan to release the OS X version of J1.5 Among other things, this means that you, dear user / developer, could try write a patch to get bbd looping properly. Drop me a line if you're interested, I'll help you as much as I can. Meanwhile, I have made some updates, mostly tweaking the user interface to make it more straightforward and tidying the code to make it more understandable. Look out for bbd version 0.5.2 sometime in the future (no promises when!), or I'll mail it to you if you want to work on it. ----------------------------------------- :: online studio ----------------------------------------- Have you seen the online studio? http://ollieg.users.mcs2.netarray.com/bbd This is a stripped down web version of bbd. You can compose drum patterns and hear them online with your web browser, save them and browse all the patterns made so far (about 30). The online studio uses the somewhat / mostly free www.mycgiserver.com Java server and www.freesql.org's totally free database server. This means I can afford the bills, but unfortunatly these servers go off-line quite often. Especially the database. Give it twenty minutes and try again if you just get a blank page. If you can offer SQL database hosting, please drop me a line. ----------------------------------------- :: and finally... ----------------------------------------- Like what I'm doing here? You can show your support with a donation http://bbd.sourceforge.net/donate.php or an email. Let me know what you think about bbd and what you're doing with it. It means a lot to me, so do get in touch! All the best, Ollie G * ollieg@users.sourceforge.net
