Interesting demo, but I feel a bit duped since it's not a pure JS implementation. I expected something written to work with NodeJS, but instead I found a browser-based JS library that talks to an instance of Flash on the page.

Still, kudos to the author for coming up with this experiment.

That's kind of this guy's shtick - he's the mind behind the esteemed soundManager2 library (http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/) that makes managing audio in the browser easier with js+flash.

As well as a pretty sick CSS3 turntable hack he has demoed a few times. http://www.flickr.com/photos/52201706@N04/5573063518/in/phot...

Thanks. I'm working on an article relating to that at the moment. Should be fun once it's out there (and on Github, etc.)

That's way cool! Is that rigged up to change the tempo for beatmatching?

[schill]

That's in there also, yep. The prototype is aiming to recreate most of the usual tricks. It gets a bit hackish. Release TBD, hopefully soon. A teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NiMMSyk9GU

Check out https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport and https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-arduino which provide you with the building blocks to do all JS implementation (especially in concert with Socket.io) Many people built some amazing things during JSConf with these libs.

Enjoy!

That looks like what people should be using these days; good stuff.

[voodootikigod]

would love to collaborate on it - ideally find a way to push the PDE directly. Interested?

[schill]

I haven't touched this stuff since last October (boo), but I put it on Github in the hopes someone might find it useful (yay!) Currently distracted with other personal projects, but hope to revisit this at some point.

Glad you noticed that because I didn't and was about to forward it on. The dependence on Flash ruins it for.
