Wire Music Studio

[Techni]

This is a project that started as a simple holopiano and then slowly evolved into something awesomely fun. It's essentially a minimalistic remake of FL Studio's piano roll with EGP. The video explains it best:






Interaction is pretty easy, left click to place a note in the edit area, play a key, or select an option. Right click to remove a placed note. E will move the playbar to the specified area. Chat commands are done for more complicated functions:
!load will load the specified file, eg: "!load aerodynamic"
!save will save the current song with the specified filename, eg: "!save mortal kombat"
!clear will clear the entire song, a dialog will pop up to confirm.
!bpm will change the beats (4 notes blocks) per minute, eg "!bpm 130"
!page or !p will jump to the specified page, eg "!page 10", "!p 10"
For multi-link you wire the desired master E2 e2link to the desired slave E2 e2ent.

Thanks to Zoombahh for coding the multi-screen synchronisation, it's great for more complicated songs, omicron for helping out with some of the interface code and MoPaZoDoZ for the awesome intro in the video. Thanks to the above and the following for bug testing and writing music for WM Studio: Wenli, Divran, Rasa, Volvox

Here's the dupe:
guiletheme.txt

I've also included a several songs. These needs to go in the data/e2files/WMStudio1 folder.
tetris.txt
ravers.txt
aerodynamic.txt
wm studio v1.txt

This contains both the dupe and my entire collection of music:



And have fun.

Finally


E2 code
since techni mentioned 'my' version that supports synced playing but didn't include it. I am releasing it here.

wm_studio_v1e_multi.txt

Put the contents of that in an E2 and spawn it. Wire "EGP" to the egp screen you want to use and, if you want to use two players wire "Elink" of the MASTER to "E2ent" of the SLAVE.

when chips are wired together you have to look at the screen for chat commands to work. with emitters you have to look at the small white emitter under the screen.
this is so that you can controll them seperately (and load different songs)

The master is in controll and has normal sounds, while the slave recieves commands from the master, uses different sounds.

songZZZ here :

sweet_dreams.txt
clocks_base.txt,clocks.txt

Others:

bubble_bobble_base.txt,bubble_bobble.txt

I willll probably be adding a few more songs to the list later on.
Currently i have a 'few' songs started (song of storms/tetris/crawling/feel good inc .

EDIT:

for all the people deperately trying to spread rep: ill take it

[Unsmart]

Amazing. I loved the sound of Crawling, which Zoom played on it :P
Good job!

[N00bDud3]

That is awesome. I need to start playing more often.

EDIT:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Techni again.

Dammit.

[somone77]

Awesome as always, Techni. +rep

[thetree]

:O

Techni, as usual you've made something truly awesome!

+rep

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Techni again.

Is there a chat command like !play that can play all of the speaker's WM Studios simultaneously? Like for your (zoom's) Clocks thing, that would be really helpful

the players are wired so that one can controll the other one so i just need to press play there. Techni explains how this works in his post (wire the master to the slave, slave will use different sounds and also start/stop when the master does)
