Eg.:   C:\FreeBasic\lib\win32
And "libv2.bi" to the folder C:\FreeBasic\inc


Install V2.1.5:
-----------
From "freebasic_libV215.zip" file extract and copy the file "libV215.a"

Another Karmic moment for you Rbz.

Nice one mate
It plays wonderfully well here.
I will need to add this to the resources section soon (along with some others).

[benny!]

That's truely great news for all freebasic demo coders.
Cool, rbz!

Thanks to kb^fr

Does the song automatically loop?

The example seems to play once Cant see any instructions in the source.

I'm not sure either mate, my guess is that it should not to be meant to loop.

This is sweet work indeed master Rbz.

First thing I noticed is the song file size is a bit on the big side, or maybe it's just the example song length. I will check out the linky, and try some more out.

I like the idea of the V2 Soft Synth alot, as you can somehow incorporate speech into the tune; ( Clyde thats probably why it's called a soft synth, berk ) as heard in a few of the popular FR releases.

However I have yet to get the composer to work myself. There was talk if im not mistaken about adding it to WinAmp, but no joys there. Maybe I can persuade one of my musical chiefs to try it out, if theres an editor / tracker that is compatible with it.

I wonder what else can be done with it, any monitoring / syncing to be done, like Samples being played?

Also how does that command about the music being out of alignment to the visuals work exactly?

Im just VERY curious on the abilities of it. And you've done us proud Rbz and thankyou.

Smart,
Clyde.

It will crunch down to about 20kb with the song rbz used as an example clyde,
as for sync, I think that you can use the song timer to do your sync, I don't think that this allows you to monitor what sound effect is being played, I might be wrong though.

[Rbz]

With this lib, as it is, you can only synch your effects with song timer (ssGetTime) events, maybe fr  guys have one special version of it (internal use only), which can be synchronized with MIDI events etc...

I'm pretty certain that they do.

Hi Rbraz,
Thanx for sharing!
is this the Replayer for the new V2M Sounds?
The new sounds arent compatible with the old V2M replayer!
Im currently working on.
Here are 2 compiled exe, 1 converted sound and the converter...

[Rbz]

@energy: this one is based on the old version 1.0, I didn't know about the new v.1.5  oO

And yes, the new version have everything someone need to synch with visuals, very nice

I'm going to make another wrapper for FB users.

[Clyde]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Shame they have no instructions / documention on how to compose libV2 songs.
And like I thought it has the plugins to be able to listen to tunes via WinAmp.

I also Googled for Buzz Machines, seems like a sample generator.

I would really be interested, as im sure others who are affraid to ask are as well, would like to know how in a seperate post, how it's possible to actually make a v2 song in an editor / tracker fashion.

My next little question what is the difference between libv2 and the other BR404 Synth; which has an editor, I believe? Can people make v2 songs in that ?

Chin Chin,
Clyde.

Ok it's done , check the attached file below:

' forces rendering thread to update. On single-core CPUs it's a good idea to

' with more than one CPU it's pretty much useless.

I would really be interested, as im sure others who are affraid to ask are as well, would like to know how in a seperate post, how it's possible to actually make a v2 song in an editor / tracker fashion.

@Clyde: I think you will need some help from a experienced V2M composer.

My next little question what is the difference between libv2 and the other BR404 Synth;

They are both synth players, V2 was done by kb and br404 done by bero

which has an editor, I believe? Can people make v2 songs in that ?

Those synth work as VSTi pluggins for trakers like for example buzzmachine, maybe your musician friend can help you on how to install and work with those VSTi pluggins.
