Flashissa ei voi luoda dynaamisesti ääniä, mutta ActionScript 3 tukee ulkoisten movieclippien lataamista, joten sen avulla voi ladata tyhjän wav-äänen Flashiin ja muokata ohjelmallisesti tiedoston äänidataa niin, että saadaan ohjelma soittamaan haluttuja ääniä. Idea on ilmeisesti alun perin Davidilta. [...] [...] Synan toteutustapa on yllättävä.

Realtime in the meaning that it creates the produced sound completely by itself and not relying on predefined samples. He used the ByteArray and the Loader class (Loader.loadBytes) based on an idea and first experiment from David at Robots /w Lasers. The synth consists of a simple, white emptyness in where you have to click with the mouse and it plays generated sounds depending on the coordinates. The sounds might be still a bit awkward but hey, it’s a milestone in Flash history, isn’t it?!

I took the concept a bit further and created a realtime circular audio buffer so you can generate audio in realtime without the limit of sample length, as it will ’stream’ the circular buffer. It still is a bit unstable, but please take a look at: http://www.e-phonic.com/misc/ Cheers! PJ Hi,

Never thought of using ByteArray to generate a sound container swf... It would be possible to make a sort of SoundProxy class out of this so that adapting it to a (hopefully eventually) proper Flash Sample/SoundData object (Flash10?!) would be less painful. As per the comments above I think Flash should be capable of basic synthesis and processing. Just think of plotting Math.sin() into a buffer. Basic synthesis and FM synthesis should be quite viable... Brilliant work! Never thought of using ByteArray to generate a sound container swf…

It just depends on what exactly you are trying to do. Is it fast enough to sample and mix a 32 channel orchestral piece? maybe not. But I think with a little work, it could play 2 or 4 channel music in realtime, with plenty of cpu left over. When I get some free time, I'll play around with it a bit. Rasmus:

David from Robots w/Lasers shows off a way to dynamically generate sounds in AS3. He actually builds a SWF in a ByteArray at runtime and passes it into a Loader object. With a little work to refine this approach, ambitious Flash developers could put together some sort of music sequencer. A full game soundtrack would be pretty cool. The sounds have a nice retro feel that would go well with many of the Flash games out there. It reminds me of my days playing with BASIC or Assembly. I'm sure there are hundreds of other possibilities. [...] [...] I noticed an awesome hack on Flashcoders today. David from Robots w/Lasers shows off a way to dynamically generate sounds in AS3.
