Is it possible to create a drum machine app using corona?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hello! I’m shopping around for an iPhone compatible API that could help me make a music application. I was hoping that someone who knew Corona intimately could tell me if it would be a good choice. I’ve had some experience writing music software before on the Nintendo DS and in Java. My main requirement is the ability to play audio back at different frequencies. If Corona can do that, I’m 90% there. Ha ha ha.

A quick peek at the audio functions, such as audio.play, didn’t turn up anything. I did see some promising stuff in the http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2011/07/27/the-secretundocumented-audio-apis-in-corona-sdk/ blog entry. But, being a absolute beginner at Corona, I’d like to see if someone can confirm that it’s possible and works!

Thanks,

I had a play with the APIs from that blog post at one point, AFAIK they all work fine - am not involved with audio (the one to ask about that would be Eric) - though you can play with Corona with an unlimited free trial, so you can check it out yourself without committing to anything :slight_smile:

Very cool RE DS :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 29456 reply_id: 118307[/import]
