Introducing Modulator Jane Modulator Jane is a Java applet : an applet is a program that will only run inside a browser, or through an applet viewer. All settings are made through HTML tags : a little knowledge of HTML is of course welcome if you want to set up your own shows, but in the Setting up your own show section, you will find easy tricks to build Modulator Jane-enabled WEB pages with your own sound and image files. In the Modulator Jane show you will find several examples of ready-to-run settings. Have a look at the HTML sources of these WEB pages to check how the sound and image files are connected to the modulator. This demo is time-limited (60-days) and allows you to test the software on your local computer and on your server. Have a lot of fun ! |
The Modulator Jane show Modulator Jane is made out of two independant components : the modulator itself, which performs the sound analysis, and a light show, which determines the way the sound will affect the screen. This version comes with 3 basic light show types : the spotlights light show, the Russian dolls light show, and the grids light show. Each light show offers a wide variety of settings. Turn your speakers on, and go for :

Audio format We preferred to go for compatibility with browsers - including older ones - rather than the latest developments of the Java Virtual Machines : most browsers that people actually use are far from being the latest releases, and for audio, most of them will only support Sun's mu-law encoded AU file format, sampled at 8000 Hertz. Of course, the sound quality of these files is nothing like with CD quality, but the fact is that you just don't have the choice : if you want your online clips to be audible for most of your visitors, this audio format is what you need. No special plugin is required on the client's side : this applet will just run on any Java-enabled browser. The commercial versions of Modulator Jane include a Java utility that performs easy and quick conversion and resampling from various popular audio file formats (WAV, AU, MP3 and AIFF), in order to meet these requirements. See Modulator Jane's sound converter for details. |
