Designing Software - Making A MPC Sampler - Drum Machine - Making A Sound Directory ?

May 16, 2012

I'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...

Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.

Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)

Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]

Get Hard Disk Name?

Jul 21, 2010

How would I find the letter for the hard disk? e.g C:

Because I know some computers have different letters insetad of C.

Also, on a slightly different topic (I didnt think it was worth starting a new thread for it), I need a program to start during the start up of the computer it is on, am I right in saying I need to create a shortcut (which I think is a .lnk file?) and then put that in the startup folder. I'm doing this in code, but I was wondering what information I need in the shortcut file.

Get The Disk I/O On Various Servers?

May 22, 2012

I am using the following code to get the Disk I/O on various servers. For now I am just retrieving the DiskReadsPerSec to get a feel for it. The return data gives a uint32 for each drive on the server and a total. My questions is what is the time frame that this represents? Is this at the second that my code polls the drive or is this over the last few seconds or do I need to do multiple runs to get an average.

My intention is to build a graph for each drive so I wonder how often I need to poll the drive to get a acurate value.

Public Shared Function GetDriveIO(ByVal strip As String) As Boolean
Dim oConn As New ConnectionOptions()
Dim lnglist As New List(Of Long)

Get The HDD Disk Drive Information?

Mar 3, 2010

I am trying to get the HDD Disk Drive information from the DeviceIOControl(,,,,,) function with IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX control code.

Here are the problems :

1. The DeviceIOControl function returns(as from output buffer) DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure. Which contains some data types i am unable to get. I used. Uint32 instead of Dword. Long instead of Large_Integer.

2. DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure contains a union declaration as mentioned on MSDN , HOW TO GET A UNION in VB.NET or vb 6.

3. Still when i tried declaring the data types as mentioned earlier gives an error (Value does not fall within the expected range.) executing the DeviceIOControl Method.

I want to get a complete list of all files on a disk, if i write code to list files in a folder, the web gives lots of examples how to do it, and for a folder (including sub folders) of tens of thousands of files, they all work. however, my disk has 250,000 files and i cannot make any method work.The My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.*") method runs for an hour and then crashes.the Directory.GetFiles(path,searchPattern, searchOption) throws an exception when it reached the system volume information directory.

Generate A Virtual Disk / Path?

Mar 26, 2009

Is there some way to generate a virtual disk/path?My application needs to generate a lot of temporary small files, edit them, write to disk, execude old executables in Fortran, and read the text files outputs.I cannot choose to avoid the fortran, because is out of my power to decide it.all that I/O is really expensive, because disk access is slow. But all the files involved are really small (including the executable), so they may fit on a few megabytes of RAM, and I have gigabytes of RAM available (RAM is really cheap today).Worse, I cannot parallelize, because it forces me to multiply I/O operations (I need to create, edit, and delete lots of small files).The perfect solution would be to have a small virtual disk in memory.I cannot use a virtual PC software, because users would have a hard time installing it (they have problem using windows explorer even to do simple tasks).
