| Beatnik lets you experience interactive Web audio directly from Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Internet Explorer, or America Online. Beatnik creates a new low-bandwidth, high-quality audio experience for Web users, one where sonified buttons respond instantly with clicks, where navigation bars respond with audio feedback to your movements, and where tempo and instruments in an Interactive MP3 remix can be changed by your interaction with the page or the Web site. Beatnik supports many music and audio file formats, including RMF (Rich Music Format), MIDI, MOD, AIFF, WAV, MP3, and AU files. After downloading the plug-in, join in an Interactive Remix in the Beatnik Sonified Showcase. Web authors can use the plug-in to add interactive audio to their web page with simple javascript commands. This latest plug-in supports secure interactive MP3 and can play MP3-compressed samples along with compressed instrument data, which can be wrapped into the RMF format. This version also adds support for Internet Explorer and the AOL browser, includes more advanced reverbs for improved sound quality, offers better compatibility with other sound plug-ins (takes only RMF and MIDI file extensions), and has a more dynamic scope view. The new Installation Wizard is easier to use & includes an automatic uninstall for previous versions. |
