You can add these new skins to Bounce Metronome Pro with these installers: Bounce Metronome Pro extra skins Bounce Metronome Pro More extra skins
Animated SkinsFor an idea of what they look like see the Animated Skin page. There's one animated skin included with the program already - to try it out choose Animated Caustics Skin in the Visuals menu of Bounce Metronome Pro. I've made a number of other animated skins using caustics in the same way. This installer will include those and possibly some more. But I haven't made it yet. Ready fairly soon - let me know if you are particularly interested to see it, won't take long to do just that I have other things which tend to take priority so I haven't got around to it yet. Meanwhile though, you can also drag and drop any animation you have into the Skins window to use as an animated skin - then use the fade to background feature if the text is hard to read (as it probably will be for most animations). For instance here I tested it with the animation that comes with windows 7 - an animation of seals, birds and other wildlife running in the background behind the text, which is rather a nice effect. (EXTRA ANIMATED SKINS NOT YET READY, WILL DO THEM FAIRLY SOON) This skin installer will add extra animated skins.
Midi to WavThis adds the Timidity plug in, which you can use to convert midi files to audio files. bounce_metronome_timidity_midi_to_wav_setup.exe [4.4 MB] This is used to add sound to your exported animations of the bouncing visuals in . It's also used for the button to convert your saved midi file recordings to WAV in the window. It installs a copy of timidity into a subfolder of the programs folder, and also installs the timidity sound font so that you can start doing midi to wav right away with no extra configuration needed.. If you have timidity already installed you can use that instead, configure Timidity in the window. You can also use that window to change the sound font for the midi to wav rendering, and change the volume, also advanced users can vary the parameters for Timidity, e.g. to add effects such as reverb. Timidity is licensed under the GPL Open Source license - which means you can't modify the code or use it as a dll in a commercial program. However, here I'm using it here as a command line tool. This is acceptable under the GPL. See Can I release a non-free program that's designed to load a GPL-covered plug-in?. Extra Video FormatsBounce Metronome Pro comes pre-installed with avi only. This installer adds the MEncoder plug in to add .mov, .mp4, .flv, .asf, .mkv, .3gp, .flv and many more video formats. You can use these file formats for the animated sky and textures and for the option to output animations as movies. bounce_metronome_video_encoders_setup.exe [4.4 MB] If you find you still can't play movies after this install, see Extra codecs. Note on the MEncoder license:MEncoder is licensed under the GPL Open Source license - which means you can't modify the code or use it as a dll in a commercial program. However, here I'm using it here as a command line tool. This is acceptable under the GPL. See Can I release a non-free program that's designed to load a GPL-covered plug-in?. Indeed, many other commercial programs are bundled with MEncoder, for examples see the list under Video Encoding Tools and later on the MEncoder Projects page. Extra Codec - may be needed if you find you still can't play movies after you install MEncoderBounce Metronome Pro uses an older way of showing videos which isn't as widely supported as it used to be. So you may need to install an extra codec before it can play the converted movies or other .avi files. The ffdshow codec works well. You can get the latest version here: ffdshow page at videohelp.com or directly from the ffdshow tryout project home page at sourceforge Note - although ffdshow can handle many different formats - technically it is a first party codec rather than a codec pack. It has none of the problems you may get from installing some codec packs and is easy to install and uninstall. It has a good reputation. Boost merit of FFdshowIf this doesn't fix it, then you might have another codec which is taking priority over ffdshow which has a problem with it. To fix this, try boosting the merit of ffdshow to maximum via its "Video decoder configuration" - in Windows 7 or Vista enter that into the Search field and in XP you can find it under ffdshow in the Start Menu | All Programs. When the ffdshow "Video decoder configuration" starts up, then go to DirectShow control and push that merit slider all the way to the right. GSpotIf still have issues, then the free third party techy diagnosis software GSpot may help with diagnosis of problems. Or Contact me in case I can help in some way. Techy detailsBounce Metronome Pro uses AVIStreamGetFrameOpen so you need a codec that supports that routine. In a future version of Bounce Metronome Pro I plan to update to DirectShow which will be able to use any of the codecs. FreeImage for Anti Aliasing for Export to AnimationThe method used for anti-aliasing in the 3D bounce window don't work for the export to video, which is why I've added this option to use the FreeImage library for antialiasing. This installer just installs the FreeImage.dll into your system folder. If you already have it, only updates if newer than the version you already have. I include it as part of Lissajous 3D and other programs may install it as well. bounce_metronome_freeimage_setup.exe [0.6 MB] Once it is installed, you will be able to use antialiasing for the Export to Video window (Ctrl + ). This software uses the FreeImage open source image library. See http://freeimage.sourceforge.net for details. FreeImage is used under the FIPL version 1.0.
Extra Sound FormatsBounce Metronome Pro comes pre-installed with midi, waveform audio and mp3 suppport. Quite possibly that may be all you will ever need. If you wish to add extra audio recording formats such as sun au, ogg vorbis, etc, to Bounce Metronome Pro, you can do it with this installer: bounce_metronome_sound_encoders_setup.exe CSoundThe CSound options in Bounce Metronome Pro give you more options for rendering audio clips, also for playing in realtime too if you use it with CSoundAV. Most users don't need this, but if you want to explore more instrumental sounds for the rhythms then it may be useful to you. Add CSound support with this installer: CSound_Setup64_With_Manual.exe [1.75 MB] This CSound installer adds a minimal version of CSound, with just what you need to be able to make CSound recordings using Bounce Metronome. After you have installed it, Bounce Metronome should find it automatically and use it to render CSound recordings. For those who already have recent versions of CSound and prefer to use those in Bounce Metronome Pro as well - you can browse to find your CSound Renderer in Bounce Metronome Pro's - go there and browse to find consound, winsound, or csound, all of which can be used to render the scores and orchestras. Even if you already have your own version of CSound, you can install this one as well - it does no harm to have extra copies of CSound on your computer. You need CSoundAV if you want to play your CSound instruments in real time. You can start it up from Bounce Metronome Pro from the . You get it here: CSoundAV download page For more about all this, see CSound for Bounce Metronome - and particularly Using CSoundAV with Bounce Metronome.
