Sound Synth clicking…
Well the other rounding issues actually took about 10 minutes while drinking a cup of RedBush tea and taking in a little bit of trash TV.
I then move on to adding a couple of extra features. The main one being clicking on the generated sample display cause the generated sample to play. It meant a return to messing around with swing. I am pleased to say I appear to be finally getting swing and the Netbeans GUI builder. In fact I would go so far to say that not having used it for a little while has lets its ideas seep into my mind and some of it has started to become obvious. I also make the cursor change to a little hand when the mouse if over the area to click – just to give the user a hint. It sure saves quite a bit of time clicking that rather than going up to the tool bar to play the sample. I guess I need a keyboard short cut really. that would probably take less time to implement than writing this blog post given my new found ninja swing skills.
I am debating what to do next, I have a whole load of incremental features to add so there is no shortage of things to do but also in the back of my mind is I really need to sort out my release system. Currently it is pretty manual and ideally it should be the click of a button to get a new release up to the site. I know I mentioned this before but only spent a little time messing around with Ant trying to figure out how to build a netbeans project from the command line. Obviously it would be great to get push up a new build every week or so rather than every month or two. Perhaps it is time to pick up wrestle with Ant again and see what I can mash up.
