Notes:

    - Yootil is required
    - 1 post key is required

FAQ:

• What is this plugin?
• Why can you make 2 recordings?
  

[/a]. So I added in the option for 2 recordings.

[li]It's not working for me, or some my members, why?
[/li]It's most likely not supported in the browser you are using, I recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

The plugin uses an API that has not been fully standardised, and is little buggy, so expect a few issues with it.

[li]Why does it not sound like a real piano?
[/li]Because my maths sucks (it really does). The tones are created via code by working out the frequencies. I haven't had time to really look at modifying / creating envelopes that sound more realistic, as it's quite a geeky area that is hard to understand.
[/ul]

Here is me badly making music:

I can't wait to test this out. If the button doesn't show up in the mini-profile due to obnoxious layout template modifications (which I am guilty of), is there a manual code I can insert? Or should it not matter if the layout template is modified?

You might want to consider porting it onto the DSP.js API, which has support for more sophisticated envelopes and enjoys broader browser compatibility.

Your current implementation appears to be based on the Webkit Audio API, which means it will only be supported on Chrome, Safari, and Opera.

Just a suggestion.

Peter, Virgil, Wormy & Elf you all crack me up.

Now I can make music, lovely.

Nah, I wanted to do it all from scratch, the idea was more for learning, I know existing libraries are out there, and much better ways to pull it off.

Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.  Only tested in the first 2 though.

Not sure if I'm missing something?

I thought about you, so was prepared

An element in the mini profile with the class "postcomposersong" should do it for you.

Will there be support for Internet Explorer? I use Firefox but some who use IE say they only see Preview and BBCode.

Does it use any keys? Super key, etc?

It uses 1 Key.

Peter, finally getting to play around this with beauty! Is it possible to add an exclusion of boards? For example, "enable only for -this- board" type of thing. I don't want it on every board of my forum, only select ones, which is why I ask. =3

Idea: Perhaps a default message in the post. Right now, it prompts you to add a message when you go to create the post after making your song. So you have to switch tabs, write something, etc. While I love that you CAN do it, I think it might be nice if the admin can write a default message in the plugin settings so if the user doesn't want to, he doesn't have to type one out, he can use the default message in the post, such as "This post has a song attached to it, check the mini-profile for the play button!" If you can't automatically add it to the posting page without the user switching to it and typing it out, then no worries, just a thought. Otherwise, as it is, there's little I can say needs working on. The Start Delay is a bit overlapped on my screen for the lefthand recording section but I can still access and use it, and the Release bar is lower than the Attack bar, but beyond that it seems essentially flawless. Thank you very much!

[Peter]

When I get time, I'll add in permissions, where it can be used etc.

Default message, sure, can do that.

Can you show me a screen shot, and let me know your screen resolution?

It's a shame it records when not playing. Would make more sense to record your keystrokes only.

I just did jingle bells but as I was looking up in another tab how to play it there were pauses between my piano key pushes.

See here: discussiontime.freeforums.net/thread/412/post-composer?page=1&scrollTo=7032

Pauses are a part of some songs, so if it didn't listen to pauses, it would ruin most songs. Jingle bells, for example, without the pauses would be a jumbled mess. It gives the song pace and is why we recognize it.

Peter, I'll grab a screenshot ASAP, sorry been incredibly busy and didn't notice you responded! My resolution is 1366 x 768

[Former Member]

Yes, actually. He is taking a break from plugins because his life is really busy and stressful, though I don't know the details. I know you want support but I would say just wait and be patient, he needs time. =3

[Former Member]

He's probably invisible, which means it will show the last date he was visible, not the last time he was online. He announced his life problems and decision to give up plugins for a while or possibly even permanently in the Monetary System plugin support thread
