Hobnox AudioTool Update

May 8th, 2008

We finally released an update on our cute Flash audio application - AudioTool Demo.
As promised we've added an emulation of the famous Roland TR808. Besides you'll find a new bitcrusher effect and a compressor with optional sidechain input.


For a better workflow we've added new buttons in the controlbar as undo/redo, three zoom states and a lock button to avoid accidental displacement of the editors.


It is still a demo, which means you cannot save your set. This is the most wanted feature we will address in the next update. A timeline to arrange modulation and pattern changes over time is in development too. Stay tuned!

    That’s pretty stunning. Now I see why you’re always on Adobe to get their act together with Flash audio.

    I’m very impressed with the authenticity of the graphics, as well.

    @edzis: Thanks for the bug report. We tried to reproduce it, but no luck. Do you encounter this error everytime when you start the application?

    Yes, this happens every time. And I end up with only 3 tools and the controls at the top.
    Take a look at the screen http://office.true-vision.net/edgars/bug.jpg

    no bugs for me! everything’s excellent. best as components i’ve ever seen!

    it just delays a bit when changing to 1:1 zoom.

    (i run wXP_pro_sp2 – Firefox/2.0.0.14)

    Hey Andre,

    Amazing! I’m totally blown away. This question may seem a little superflous, but how are you creating the logic for the cables, i.e. they seem to be using a path finding script to weave their way around objects. Any pointers as to how this is done?
