Here's something I'm working on with specific audio sync triggers.
In the example you can see specific instrumental cues which can be utilised within AGK.

It's tier 1. I am still enhancing the plugin for this.
The effects are realtime and are checked in the main loop, so to do something when instrument 12 plays (cymbal):

Just out of interest, I managed to make the music be 400Kb with lossless compression in this implementation.

Just added:

Volume slide
Stereo levels
custom trigger (255 custom triggers at any arbitrary point)

still to come:

Realtime fx (reverb, chorus etc.)
increase instrument triggers from 16 to 32
loop trigger
bar trigger
note/octave trigger (c,c#,d,d#,e,f,f#,g,g#,a,a#,b)

Added some more tweaks:

The effect for the reverse cymbal was captured twice on the demo, so I added a volume check. You can now check the instrument and get a result for volume and note!
I updated the demo to stop it getting triggers from the low volume triggers (e.g. the double ping effect and the double spin). This is achieved by extending the result value from Get_Instrument() to return more data that just boolean.
Now it returns an integer with both the volume and instrument note in both halves of the integer.

I can now use the realtime call:


so only act on volume > 10.

To extract the HIWORD of the value, a simple function GetVolume() is

..and here's the latest.
Volume sensitive triggers now, so no double hits on the reverse cymbal and ping sounds.
Also added some more cubes to stress the sampler a bit more to make sure all the triggers are still being hit

Love this demo nz0! I was hoping the cubes would jump higher as the track went on. I showed this during our dev meeting yesterday and Lee said imagine being in the middle of all that in VR! Nice idea eh?

Rick, definitely.
I will be taking this concept further as I develop the plugin.
If I utilise a few different AppGameKit features, it might make a decent tech demo for AGK.

I joked with Lee that it could have his soldier character multiplied in the scene doing a jig!

Looking forward to seeing this progress more.
