every now and then i like to mess around with code to make some sounds. check my blakboard synth and FmGen http://sporsmaal2.free.fr/synth.htm recently i found out that flash player 10 has the ability to generate and manipulate sound.you can check my experiments at the link above. i did a bit of research and found out that there is not a lot of help or tutorials.  it would be nice to start a collection of links, tutorials, code and stuff  Has anyone else had a try?  got any links or code?

it all started with a sound hack of flash player 9 (now obsolete) find it here: http://www.popforge.de/ the guy who made this library's blog can be found here: http://blog.andre-michelle.com/ there are some examples here: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/ some you can download you can find some amazing stuff here: http://www.hobnox.com/audiotool

so how to make a start? generate a sine wave in 3 easy steps if you have flash cs3 or cs4

  1. start a new flash actionscript 3
  2. click on the first frame, go to the actionscript panel
  3. copy and paste the code below test movie
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
function sineWaveGenerator(event:SampleDataEvent):void {
    for ( var c:int=0; c<8192; c++ ) {
        event.data.writeFloat(Math.sin((Number(c+event.position)/Math.PI/2))*0.25);
        event.data.writeFloat(Math.sin((Number(c+event.position)/Math.PI/2))*0.25);
    }
}
mySound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA,sineWaveGenerator);
mySound.play();

i might wanna collaborate with someone for this one, if you ve got some designing skills and a good idea what you want, i was a flash coder for 1.5 years at an ad agency. OO AS3 programming is my thing.

mm just tried out that piece of code, all it does is fill the sound buffer from the sound object with a bytearray everytime the sample_data event is triggered (when the buffer is empty)you have to fill with at least 2048 bits so you can t really synthesize unless you make a sound generator that "prepares" chuncks of 2048 bits.i tried amplitude modulation with a sine wave and it sounded like a sample and hold on the sine that controls the frequency

yes i would be up for a collab with this as i said i lost all my stuff when my laptop died, so i have none of my experiments and i lost the links to some good source code i struggle with actionscript so any help would be great have you tried this? http://lab.andre-michelle.com/fl-909 i cant get it working but i dont know what im doing using .as files and stuff i did have an example of a basic synth that i was messing with but i cant find it again i think a good thing to do is find good links and post them here

Hey that seems wack! I once made a simple keyboard in flash with just one scale and I used samples of a specific sound created on a real synth. So all the samples where the 'same', just the notes were different. It went like this: key1 on release blablabla play sound 1.. very simple and Its fun to play in class but i never saw synthesis in flash :o
