[flipper_md]

You can now re-download from the same link, and a newer version is there. Look in the top right corner options if you can't see the interface.

try barbie pink interface!! it's NIce


also fixed a bug with noise notes code, that would try to send data even if PIC option was not selected.

Hi Flipper

WOW this really is something !

You know anyone could (with some tweaking to a Jean Michel Jarre with a PIC !

Combine your PIC code with something Skimask was busy on [HTML]http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5407&highlight=finger+touch[/HTML] and maybe a few Led's and a laser pointer or two and whammo you have a hit !
In fact , interface your Windows proggie with a media player, feed it to the same sound source and you have an LED touch DJ panel with sound to light !

I will keep an eye out for it !

Many thanks

Kind regards
Dennis

agreed that possibilities are totally endless


I already hooked a frequency bargraph on my board right aside, since I needed a frequency analyser to catch the sounds emitted by the pic in the first place.


here is a newer Beta version, with Basic MIDI output, and some other tweak.

watch out, it could be pretty loud and there no volume control
But i do like the midi sounds...a bit more than the PC beeper LOL

Hey Flipper

Awesome !!
Will give it a shot and feedback when I can :-)
Maybe a light organ ??

.....Or touch-sensitive :-)
Think the light-organ would be something even more quite unique as an add-on or option for your code (or new code!)

Would love to try it out if ever you get to do it !

Hi Dennis

I'm not too sure on how things would get hooked between light sensor/program/ and another pic making sound?, but if you can describe the loop I might check into it.

I would hope to add multitrack capability one day, or maybe easier and more powerfull, a plain Midi track importer/converter.
Then a whole bunch of 12f683 would share the data, singing along


here is a light organ, sort of

i've just added it into my program, as default sample track.

[flipper_md]

updated program recently, some added functions and checks.

and created a new utility to process midi files for import(work ok with clean tracks, ie no multi-tones as the pic can't do that)

Very cool, except that I can't get it to work, if I press any key (on the little piano-keayboard) that has a decimal point I get the error message "xxx.xxx is not a valid floating point value"


I GUESS that this can be due to that the official floating point marker in Sweden is comma (,) and not a dot (.) (even if many people use a dot anyway).

Would it be possible to fix this bug ? probably by reading that info from windows in some way ? ..it's actually the first time I seen this problem.
