Dancing with Crutches

( Composing Sound with Actionscript ) Flash isn't the best choice when dealing with sound generation. That might be the reason why only a bunch of people are using the Sound API introduced with Flashplayer 10. Nevertheless, Andre will show the great new possibilities via various experiments, and hopefully inspire you to think about using dynamic sound generation in your own projects. He will also present an insider's view of the latest version of Audiotool, which he has been involved with for the last two years. The Audiotool is an entire online music studio with drum-computers, synthesizers and effect devices written in plain ActionScript.
