I think I want this to change into a pre-processor (or a mini interpreted language) for free basic that does grids (arrays of boxes) and then saves them out to disk (for use by another program) or is piped into another program or script.. The intended purpose would be drum machines and piano rolls


free basic grid proof of concept



I am just working towards getting it to compile befour I get fancy..

I made a small change to the free basic compiler but some editing still has to happen. I added a new file format called qb1. The idea is to use the qbasic or quick basic format of


freq dur filename


filename is added so that I can add code for loops where file name is the name of the code and then there will have to be a command of some sort to indicate where the sound code goes.. This is going to be for the sound command for qbasic, qbasic and qb64 as well as being compatable with free basic. I don't think there was alot of music written with the sound command but it certanily is possible to use it and I have seen mention that it could be tried.

This is the latest version of the colin1911 sound editor.. It now supports free basic but currently It is still glitched and is missing the compiler parts not to mention You should be able to create new files... This requires python and wxpython. a concept that is most likely heresy to free basic users (tested with python 2.5)... the file that I have working is test.fb1, I seem to be stuck on 12 columns when I need 14

the name comes from a turn of the century construction company that used to stamp thier names in the sidewalk.

I have been surfing alot of the basic boards looking for ways to generate slider banks where they are all the same size and custom sliders that show up on the screen in different sizes.. i.e. load a track and have it show up as the size of the song.. Heres a couple of threads showing how to create sound in free basic and I may be converting at least one of these into a code generator shortly.. one uses windows api and the other uses direct sound
