Hi,
I've just released the first public version of my freeware program Sound Painter!
I thought I would tell the PureBasic community as it was developed in PB.
It is freeware and the program generates sound effects.
Find out more at my site here:

All feedback is welcome.
Sound Painter v 0.3

@hagibaba: would be cool, to see your program also listed in the Showcase on www.PureArea.net 
Cool program though I only tested it on wine on Linux, I don't know wether this is a wine problem but it would be cool to have a marker running over the image to indicate what part is actually drawn, if you could also get it to save the sounds as wave files it's a perfect sound toy.

Hi, thanks for the replies guys.
Hi Kukulkan, yes it definitely could do with predefined waveforms. I'm not sure what a ramp is sounds like a half-sawtooth shape? White noise would be just random positions? I'll add something to do that in the next version, maybe a window with a combobox for pre-defined standard waveforms. I would need something to modify them as well. I haven't decided how to do that yet.Kukulkan wrote:Hi hagibaba,
Great and funny tool. But what about some pre-defined waveforms (rectangle, sine, saw, ramp, white-noise etc.)?
Hi Num3, thanks. Sorry, I don't really understand your suggestion. There's not really such as thing as octaves with this, at least not yet.Num3 wrote:Greatttt!!!
Very nice!
Just a suggestion, please make Octave Up / Down buttons, for both waves separately ...
Hi Psychophanta, thanks. It was originally called something else but I can't remember what at the moment.Psychophanta wrote:Nice!
And the name: "Sound Painter" is exquisite in my opinion.
Hi Andre, ok I will submit it now then.Andre wrote: @hagibaba: would be cool, to see your program also listed in the Showcase on www.PureArea.net
Hi Fred, thanks. I am still wondering if it has been done before.Fred wrote:Interesting idea !
Hi Nik, I have not tested it on Wine. From your post it sounds like it isn't working right though. It is supposed to save a wave file when you press play or play all buttons and then uses PlaySound_() to play the file.Nik wrote:Cool program though I only tested it on wine on Linux, I don't know wether this is a wine problem but it would be cool to have a marker running over the image to indicate what part is actually drawn, if you could also get it to save the sounds as wave files it's a perfect sound toy.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Glad you all like it.
Nik, I have tested it in Wine today in Ubuntu 6.06 and apart from a few issues it worked as expected. The main issue was the toolbar, it was shrunk so you could hardly see it which is odd as it's just a standard PB toolbar. You can use the menu items however. The other main thing is it's very slow as all programs are in Wine.Nik wrote:Cool program though I only tested it on wine on Linux, I don't know wether this is a wine problem but it would be cool to have a marker running over the image to indicate what part is actually drawn, if you could also get it to save the sounds as wave files it's a perfect sound toy.
Hi Brice Manuel, I'm glad you're considering actually using this for your games. That is the idea, something that is easy to pick up, fun to play with but also something a game developer could use for sound effects. It's still relatively basic in what you can do with it but I will be adding more tools and editors so that it will become more of a tool and less of a toy.Brice Manuel wrote:Finally got to play with this, this morning. This is ideal for me and my retro-styled games. It is also very easy for a dumb-ass like myself to use. Very good job on this, I really like it and it will add a lot ot my games.
Hi byo, thanks. I've had a lot of fun with it myself. The next version will have load and save options. I plan to add the ability to load wave files as waveform samples so that will be very interesting. Then there will be the option of loading images either pitch images or wave images. Then I will create a project file ".prj" which will be a text file format linking to images or wave files.byo wrote:Loved it. Very funny to mess with.
Hi Pantcho, thanks. The idea has a lot of potential. Hopefully it will get better and better.Pantcho!! wrote:hehe this is very unique idea!
sounds like super mario on drugs ;P
Hi rsts, thanks. I came up with the idea when I was looking at sound effects programs like "Quack" and couldn't find anything that I liked so I started with this pitch graph idea and just added to that idea.rsts wrote:Crazy!
Never seen anything quite like it.
Very nice concept
