so I figured out how to feed it the correct wav type, and I am starting to fiddle with setting nodes
when I try to play back a segment of my wav I can only play 30 seconds at a time and it stops!
Is this a DEMO feature? Do I not have total control of the program yet?
also the Save feature is grayed out?
I/O error 103 when I try to save .asd file
Hi, 2fires--
Yes, it is a demo program, and apparently is no longer being developed; I wrote Tomas Cerny of TCSoftworks regarding licensing costs for the full version, but haven't received a response yet, except that he doesn't intend to update it to work with Vista.
It's a bit more laborious, but I've used audio editing programs like Sound Forge to create a long 19.2 khz sine wave, then select regions and modulate them at various frequencies (and to change volume/amplitude). You then would need to combine this with the WAV file.
It appears that it may be possible to use the freeware Audacity as well; the latest beta of this multitrack software allows you to create the 19.2 khz tone on one track, while the WAV file is on another; it appears that the 'tremolo' effect could then be used to pulse the lights. Just select successive regions. This would be limited to 'hopping' from one frequency to another, rather than ramping--but its free and easy to use!

Tomas Cerny's TC Softworks website is completely down and gone.
The website of the developers of Audistrobe still has downloadable Audiostrobe licencee forms, and AS Designer in their shopping cart system at 499 Euro, and yet they do not answer emails regarding purchase and availability of AS Designer. Would anyone allow 499 Euro to go through their credit card on their website in that situation ?
There are currently about 20 or so AS CD's available. I think there is still so much that can be done in the field of Audistrobe encoded music..probably more towards music with stronger entrainment properties but with an aesthetic entertainment level as well.
AS Designer is the only commercial software that facilitates programming AS events with music, so I think this is a sorry situation for the future of AS development if AS Designer is no longer available even at that price.
Is not hard to see how Audisotrobe works. Just load in a blank WAV file in AS Designer, setup what parameters you want to study and render, then study it under zoom in an audioeditor.
Perhaps the inventors of Audiostrobe will licence someone else to make another program if Tomas Cerny does not want to sell his anymore?
It looks like my copy of Adobe Audition may come in more handy than I thought!
Can't AS discs be made with NeroProgrammer2? (http://www.transparentcorp.com/products/np/)Quote:

Most commercial AS discs would have been done with AS Designer I thought Neuroprogrammer was more for creating larger scale events like ramps etc. which would be more suitable for entrainment rather then enternainment.
Thanks , I'll download and have another look at the Neuroprogrammer 2 demo :)
I think if a software's original coder stops caring about his product its time for a serial number crack
too bad I don't know how to do that....

can you please go into more detail about selecting regions, what frequencies for which effect, any of that?
I must admit I am a total noob to trying my hand at understanding this heady stuff, it is my tendency to bang my head against things until Grokking Is
now if it was written in php I'd be OK......

also do you have any information about what is a .ASD format?
is this something I can open in notepad?
does it stand for audio signal device or something?
I'd guess .ASD stands for Audiostrobe Designer.
Well I checked it out and the Audistrobe section of Neuroprogrammer 2 definately doesn't have the functionality of Audiostrobe Designer.Quote:

However Tomas suggested I look at the new Transparentcorps 'Mind Workstation' as being potentially more useful . I downloaded the demo and the basic version does indeed have most of the functionality of Audiostrobe Designer for audiostrobe encoding. I can't yet see how to adjust the duty cycle of th elights on th efly, although you can put in blocks of data where you design the waveform for the lights.
More exciting is that the software supports a number of biofeedback devices. I may well be able to control the AS flash frequency and tone with my Wild Divine Lightstone biofeedback device.
At $199 USD this software looks to have more utility than AS Designer, but can't confirm yet if it has as good functionality for AS encoding music .
