What kind of server do you need?

The best would be a dedicated windows server. I can probably port the server to linux (or similar), but then I'll have to replace some of the software.

Any good suggestions would be much helpful! Smiley

Update 5

The editor will be put online some day this week for everyone.

I have decided that the resulting songs will initially become public domain, so anyone can use it for anything, except claiming copyright... I don't know if this is a wise decision. The main reason for this is to prevent someone from claiming copyright of a song with seed "123" and prevent everyone else from using it.

Also, I dumped windows and ported it to linux instead Wink

yay!
i understand the need for the songs to be public domain but at the same time its pretty sad, but making your own license might work like you can own the specific song but anyone that uses the editor to create their own "version" will also own it or something like that

Update 6

The server is online here:

Abundant Music

Some things are still a little shaky such as "terms of use", tutorials and rendering of mp3s/Oggs. Sometimes there are missing instruments but they are available in the midi.

You can export the midi file and render it with Synthfont for example. It is pretty easy to use and supports VSTI and soundfonts.

Update 7

I have added a very simple web audio player that only can use one instrument and no percussion. The plan is to make it possible to create your own instruments and render songs on the client.
I think that Chrome is the only browser that supports web audio so far but Firefox will probably do that in the future as well.

Update 8

Web audio player supports percussion now.
The problem with rendered mp3s and oggs have been solved. Now it is possible to export with SNES and GXSCC soundfonts as well.

I am currently working on better and more in-depth tutorials.

Do you have a feature that you feel is missing?

I'm so glad to see a project like this. I've begun the tutorials, and I'll chime in on them as I progress through them.

Update 10

I am working on a "light server"-version that does all the composing and exporting in the browser. It is not online yet and my current version can only export Midi files so far.
The browser has to support workers, Blobs, typed arrays and object URLs for this to work though. The latest versions of Chrome and Firefox seem to support this.
Later on, I want to be able to render wav files in the browser with offline contexts in web audio (cool stuff Smiley ).

This is absolutely mind-blowing for me, I've essentially been obsessed with this application for the past few days and I'm constantly toying about with it even though I hardly understand what 20% of the stuff does as of yet but I'll get there eventually.

In terms of a feature I'd love to have would be when using song structures that when you're playing the song you can see at what section you're in currently. So if it's in a Misc2 section or Chorus1 it'll display it somewhere.
I think that'd be quite handy when trying to tweak some sections of the song.

Something that I think would be amazing is if there was a standalone Library of this. Because then it'd allow for games to do really cool music layering.

Example being able to generate some kind of bass-line and then as you move throughout the game you can generate melodies on-the-fly and fade them in on-top of the bass-line depending on certain presets.

[Here]'s something small I made after a few hours of mucking about with your program and I'm abysmal at creating music.

Anyways, keep up the amazing work!

Very good suggestions. That song sounds like a piece from the good old baroque days, nicely done!
It is absolutely time for some additions to the visualizer that can display the section types and also what instruments are used and what colors they are represented with.
Loopable songs are also a nice addition, I guess that you mean chopping up the mp3 into an intro and then the middle part? I can't support embedded loops until I implement IT export right?

yeah i didn't mean embedded loops just songs where the beginning and end fits together, splitting it up in an intro and middle is actually more than i thought of.
i also want to say that this application is the best thing i have seen pretty much and i truly love it, i like jaxno only understand maybe 10-20% of it but just trying stuff is really fun and rewarding!
