Transcript of Open Source Development And Media
Who am I?
Andy
Studying...Bachelor of Science in Creative MediaCity University of Hong Kong
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)

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!
