Hello! Congratulations on this release. The SDK seems to be a great idea. I love SDKs. From the description of this forum, I can see that with the SDK plug-ins can be made. What are those? Skale plug-ins? Are they effects, such as chorus, reverb, filters, etc? I'm not a Skale user (well, I'm a potential one), maybe that's why I don't know.

This is the first SDK version which only includes a C++ library which is able to play SKM/XM/MOD files.

In next releases some other utilities will be added like sound plugins for skale, visual effects, games and more.

Ok. Still, it's interesting anyway. Congratulations of your efforts. I'm downloading the new version right now. I noticed AKAI instruments are supported. This is a great feature!

Hi ! And congratulation for your work with Skale (and Chanka )
I ve a look in the SDK and i wanted to write a sound plugin for my favorite player (foobar2000) but i can't : there isn't a function wich let me fill a user buffer from Skale.
Something like :

/* fill my_buffer from skale
while (skale->fillbuffer(my_buffer, nb_sample))
{
/* fill the plugin buffer from Skale's filled buffer */
my_plugin->set_data(my_buffer);
}

Fillbuffer could eventually be changed to

while skale->fillbuffer(my_buffer, nb_sample, size_type_of_my_buffer)

where the type can be short, int or float but it isn't, personnally, a problem converting the data to the type i want.

Hello and grats on the new release, i really love it!
However i'm wondering if you could make the SDK compatible with SDL (www.libsdl.org), so it can be run on most systems, that would be great!
I'm currently coding a SDL RPG programming tutorial serie and it would be great to introduce .skm to the project, but since the goal with the tutorials is to make them run on all systems, I can't have a winblows based sdk...

I figured, since you've already ported skale to linux it shouldn't be so hard to make it compatible with SDL.

Keep up the good work!

Karlkox, download the 0.80a version. You must use the Slave mode, have a look to the RAWOutput example.

good luck with it!

Sweet !
I get the plugin to work but it is very minimalist :

- it lacks support of seeking,
- no durations information,
- no music information (comments) : i can parse the header but as i don't have the .skm header spec, i don't know when i must finish to parse

In short, i would like to have the same functionnality as the winamp's one, it would be so cool
Btw, thanx for your support
