Going slightly off topic, an idea I'd like to try is a hexagonal drum pattern
sequencer. I got the idea from this:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr04/images/autechremax2.l.jpg
I have no idea how it actually works, but from that patch I got thinking that
you could get multiple loops from the same pattern by moving time in different
directions across a (non rectangular) tesselated grid.
If you see what I mean!??
I'm going to hack together a little script to do this, when/if I have time,
but feel free to take this idea further...

I remember something like that has been discussed somewhere
earlier.
Well, if the rectangle on the track editor is made with audio editor,
it is displayed as waveform or as spectogram. If the rectangle on
the track is made with midi editor, it is displayed as matrix.
If the rectangle is made with X editor, it is displayed as X.
When one zooms in to these displays, they might become editable.
(Waveform display usually does.)
Maybe this should be mentioned in this context (before anyone
patents all these ideas): a rectangle may have different
reprentations and thus different display styles. E.g., if the
original data is audio, then the another representation could
be sequence data (midi?) generated with, e.g., wave-to-midi.
When the audio is edited, the other representation is changed
automatically (possibly using lazy-evaluation). If the original
is the sequence, then audio is just renderation of the sequence
(sort of freeze feature).
I wanted to write about this multiple-representations because
in graphics, Silicon Graphics (Wavefront-Alias, Maya) has a patent
on using multiple reprentations. User-friendly for user-editing,
faster for rendering. I invented exactly that basic idea in high
school 10 years before they!
So, if there are further ideas, lets hear them all now before
the ideas are patented.

for developers of open source graphics software
I'm currently doing this in TCL/TK. I started using the snack audio
library which (anong other things) makes spectrograms. I give it
consecutive chunks of audio and have it redraw to the canvas every n
milliseconds. I think it's having trouble keepingup, and it only knows how
to do 2d plots.
I'm considering doing the processing beforehand (ie, on load) and storing
the entire time-domain fft into a matrix, then using a graphics library
(plot3d) to graph it in real time... unless I can figure outhow to
multithread the program to allow one function to read ahead while the
other graphs it.
Anyway, I've never programed tcl/tk before, but I'm trying to get this
done before january.

Hi All,
I have a small utility (jackswitch - a clickless <hopefully> audio switch for
the jack enviroment) and was wondering if there is a site for hosting this
kind of small simple utility program.
Sure I could create a web site for it but it seems rather silly to write a
website that is probably going to be larger then the tarball it is created to
host!
Steve, would plugin.org.uk take it?
Hi
Anybody knows any software that enable MP3 timestretch in real time?
I want no file conversions.
In addition, I prefer a software that process the MP3 stream and not the
stream MP3 after decoding process. Anybody knows any algorithm for this?
Sorry by my english faults.
Regards, Suzana
Hello,
Is there any way to stop qjackctl from re-ordering a client's ports
in its connection dialog ? IMHO the author of a client probably had
her/his good reasons for the order chosen, and qjackctl should leave
this alone.
