nix feature requests

Hey,
I would like to request MP3 saving.
I am not sure how to implement it with minimum hassle though.
It's so niice to have access to streaming MP3s,
but further the ability to save would be sweet.
We could have a module that we could render stream to,
like 'write mem'.
This would circumvent the need for a new data type(mp3).
Alternately a new mp3 type would be an option I guess,
somehow.
Let me know if there is a better way to integrate this
functionality.
I am happy to manipulate mems,streams & float arrays
to process my mp3s, so really it is just a save module,
although 'mp3 to mem' would make renders unnecessary.
Cheers folk

edit-I will stick my accumulating feature requests in here

request #3--
Mouse scrollwheel support,
This would be perfect for my MIDI sequencer

VST 2.4 or 3.5 (inlcuding 2.4) for flowstone v.3
x64 plugins export for flowstone v.3

A little lower price for the "professional version" for vst export only? maybe 399 $? i already had synthmaker enterprise so 399+149= 548 $ :twisted: :twisted:

Yes Pall mate,
I have read it on SM forum,
written by Outsim.
Cheers

Cheers Nix!

We would like a list of all new features of the FS.

I already had SynthMaker professional. Would not be normal to pay only an upgrade?
and the cost of this upgrade will not be greater than the (paid) initial cost of the software. :?

#4->
soundcard dialogue on exported .exe s
({edit} I have found the audio selector, so this is no longer requested)

There will be upgrade options available soon for
SM peeps

The upgrade basically is to Ruby,
which I am a total newb at.
It includes the ability to open mp3s.
hmm- not sure what else,
but SM lives

Networking and possibilities to call API's using ruby.

Ruby is (im a totally beginner) is really amazing as programming language.
I do not know if will be so extraordinary with DSP because is an higher programming language..

But for example few lines of code do something that with c++ requires a lot of more, and the syntax is easy.
for example:
[code]
var1 = 5
var2 = 10
result = var2 * var1
==>50

Conversions... just..
result.to_i
result.to_s
result.to_f

these lines convert to Integer, string and float. ;)

You can try ruby online and download the interpreter for windows (and there also a ruby machine working online with ruby on rails)
Look at here;
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

Here the interactive ruby:
http://tryruby.org/levels/1/challenges/0

The main concer is that ruby should be not used for DSP processing, since is interpreted and not optimized (like the low level c) for cpu usage.
But could be the solution for perfect midi timing.

Hmmm, but have you actually used FS-Ruby for networking & APIs? Examples please?

I am not sure about Ruby for "perfect" MIDI timing, since it is interpreted like you said & garbage collected, but good enough for 240PPQ+ I'm sure ;). I little lag could be "musical" anyhow.

Now that we have better understanding of the green trigger system (thanks to SM's Trog), I wonder if MIDI can be OK in the older green system, as long as you do not need too much processing?

Thanks a bundle for the mini-tut Stylerz
I have edited one of my requests, it is solved
I will try and get my head around Ruby a little.
What I would like to do is turn a stream bool into a
green bool, without using mono to float.
I don't want to send like 2000 ticks per second to the
'mono to float'
I would like to have one tick when the bool changes-hmm

Hope the sequencer is a good testbed infuzion
