Hi all. I am thinking about creating a simple DAW to handle basic sound/midi music creation. In a first instance, the app will be fairly simple, allowing the user to import existing midi/sound files into the current song (no creation in mind for the moment...).
The main Activity will present the user a track/timeline view of the entire project where the user should be able to drag and place items. Before gettings my hands to work, I am seeking advice in your infinite wisdom :) for the following questions: - What approach is the best to create the canvas with the imported "chunks", having in mind that this should be draggable/resizable (add some multitouch magic ?) - Which is the best way to spawn/play the files at their current location avoiding latency ? I've been testing the MediaPlayer class (so far tested with 60 simultaneous mp3 playing files) with good results. The timeline/track view should be something like the image below. Also a side question - although I refer to midi files, I couldn't find nothing appropriate in the Reference. Is there any way to plug a standard (widely supported) usb-midi device to my Android (eee pad transformer here) and play a midi file through it? May use an external API? Thanks in advance, Best regards, LL Timeline/Track<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qzFXdgBazMA/ThjzxgCb1yI/AAAAAAAAAEk/c5yGo4o-IQk/timeline.png> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
