Hiya,
If there isn't going to be an 'internal' version forthcoming from
RunRev anytime soon, why not create a user group bounty system for
an external?
- Anyone up to the task would propose their 'bounty'
OR
- A community set bounty which developers would then vie for
These could be community, developer or RunRev managed.
Cheers,
Luis.

I certainly wasn't offended.
As for the age of the "young children," well, mine are nearly 8.
They
desperately want a cell phone but aren't getting one anytime
soon. ;-)
Yes, they *would* notice latency.
As you say, Kay, in the old days when we all weren't quite so long
in tooth,
we could all roll our own. In HC, I could roll my own tunes
without having
to know the midi spec and with only knowing how to read
sheetmusic. And I
could have sound channels. And without having to use Player Objects,
layered or not. Without latency. Without QuickTime. On the sorts
of older
machines I trust my wee ones with (not mine certainly!).
And now, none of that's possible and FOR NO GOOD REASON. No good
reason.
Again, the problem with MIDI is this: (a) it requires learning
the MIDI
spec; (b) it requires QT dependency. It isn't clean and elegant
and it
isn't internal. And it still doesn't really deal with the sound
channel
issue.
But I'll gratefully accept and support and help pay for an
external that
does help in these areas.

While referring to HC's notation as "door bell jingles" may sound
derisive,
these days when people are accustomed to richer sound design,
it's not an
entirely unfair characterization to the modern ear.
Nice pun;-) And certainly I didn't mean to offend anyone, as I
think I
said,
"I'm wondering", as in I'm trying to figure this out, I've used
sound files
in Rev and have been more than happy with the results; I just
can't seem to
grasp what it is I'm missing out on.
Three phones ago I could create my own ringtone by typing in HC like
notation and saving the file. The web was full of text snippets
of the
appropriate code for the appropriate make of phone so you could
quickly
type
in and have you own personal version of "rape of the moonlight
sonata" ;-)
Today I can't even find those text snippets anymore because
everything has
moved onto mp3 files. Three phones ago I could roll my own*,
today it's not
so simple - you still can, but you need to use some third party
software
(GarageBand) to create your mp3 - and it certainly wont sound as
good as an
mp3 of a real artist. Most people will see this as progress, some
may
consider they've lost something.
Judy's reference to children not likely noticing the sound quality I
suspect
must be referring to very young children because all the fifth
graders at
my
wife's school all have the latest pop songs blasting out their
iPhones when
somebody rings, they seem to be very image concscious.
If the children are that young not to notice the quality, then
isn't it
possible that they wouldn't notice the latency mentioned with the
MIDI
solution.
Still wondering why external, as put forward by Richard way back
at the
beginning, isn't the correct answer?
*Roll my own in this case refers to creating an original
ringtone, not the
art/crime of splicing up a file in your iTunes library or copy/
sharing such
a file.
