Our audio engine is now open source!

Friday, May 15th, 2009

We decided a little while ago that we wanted to do something for the Flash development community, to move the whole agenda of Flash-based audio applications forward.  When it came down to it, we felt the best way to do this was to share our basic audio engine with the world.  It’s not our core intellectual property — which includes musical and notational algorithms — but it is an enabling technology for anyone who wants to build Flash apps that really leverage the power of the new audio capabilities that Adobe is providing.

The library is called StandingWave and it’s available under the MIT OS license so you can freely include it in any projects, commercial or otherwise.  We’re excited about sharing this, and hope to see more and more folks doing ambitious things with audio in the browser!
