Who am I?

Studying...
Bachelor of Science in Creative Media

Today as a open source developer, who started the stk in as3 project.

What is stk in as3 ?
ActionScript (3) port of The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK)
" a set of open source audio signal processing and algorithmic synthesis classes " -from STK in C++ homepage

Sound generated by algorithms! (and play by humans) photos from Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastpole/3911240842/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mascarenhas/74213732/

STK are used by or can be used with...
Softwares:
CSound
Max/MSP

SuperCollider

Hardware implementation, by Yamaha!

Why we need a AS3 port?
Flash is good at handling multimedia... but not sound.
Dynamic sound generation,
from Flash Player 10 (October 2008)
=> may result in smaller file size because no audio source is embeded
=> much more possibility for creating apps or art pieces that run in browsers!

Show time!
