Revision as of 15:44, 22 April 2007


This is a "program" written within a web page do aid improverts noise boys with playing sounds at a moments notice. The idea is that you can assign a mp3 file to a letter on the keyboard then pressing that letter instantly starts that song. Support for pages has been added so you can have games theems in page one, emergency tracks in page 2 sound effects in page 3 etc. The program has been written within a web page to make it easy to use on different systems/computers. All you need is firefox and flash installed with javascript enabled.

Currently an alpha/demo/proof of concept is available at http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~s0453136/imps

Under the Bonnet

The program is uses flash to play music controlled by javascript. The 2 are merged using soundmanager2 which provides a API to do so. SoundManager2 is released under the BSD licence

The page is based on the drumkit demo found at http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/demo/mpc/

I have edited the soundmanager API slightly to suit my needs
