Yes, that works, Patrick. - That's ok!
![]() It also helps if the music or the tune, is not too demanding of our attention. - Perhaps if the string tone on what Jim is doing can lose the irritating wowing, (wavering of pitch), effect, and become less strident, and more mellow and soothing, - it might start to fit in with MA3. Instead of competing with it for our attention. ... You say you hate pianos, Jim, - but you originally had in mind something like Patrick's? ... I don't get it. ![]() |

Yes, I had searched for public-domain piano music, because the piano is the easiest instrument to implement in MIDI. But then I decided to use music that I actually like.
I must keep emphasizing that what you are hearing ("irritating wowing...strident", etc.) is entirely the fault of the instruments that are installed on your computer, and neither what I intended nor what I am hearing on mine. But that's why I have Alpha testers - you are my eyes and ears out there in the real world. If not for you, I might have released the music as-is, and then I'd be in real trouble.

I don't know...isn't this all becoming a bit bizarre..if it can be turned off, if bubbles can be played any time, if you can pick a play list or nothing, if you can run the aquarium and iTunes or any other music jukebox you like....then really...what is the big deal?
let Jim do it how he wants to do it and we can all reap the benefits of an improved aquarium...carry on |

No big deal. - Except you seem to think it is!

since it isn't my aquarium screen saver, i don't feel that I need to make a decision as to what the default sound will be.....so I will exit this forum until MA3 comes out

Personally, I think the music feature is just holding up development time on a project that will already be a long time before completion with just the basic aquarium features.

I'm currently working on the collision detection - the last big programming monster before we ship.
