Hanging out in Japan with a messed up body clock, which means I wake up at odd hours of the morning and have nothing much to do. For more on my Japan trip, see my personal blog.
But the last couple of mornings I’ve been playing with the sound API in Flash Player 10. Managed to come up with a crude version of the Tenori-On in Flash:

Click on a square to select/deselect it. All else is explained right there.
I have a very basic sound envelope started (attack/decay/sustain/release), which I plan to develop a lot more. Interestingly I found that playing more than a single synthesized sound at once has really bad results. So I’m pre-combining multiple sounds into a single one here. Hopefully that will work better later, cuz it’s a pain.
