[Source] X3D and Musical Instruments + MIDI sequencer?

[Dan Garland]

Hi all,

I'm usually e-mailing the list with questions, so I thought I'd e-mail 
in some good news for a change!

I've been working on a X3D project here and there for the last few 
months, the odd day or weekend. It developed a virtual reality model of 
a musical instrument, devised by a PhD student in Japan, but which would 
prove too expensive to build. Instead, I created a model which made 
extensive use of TouchSensors and prototypes.

Currently, the model is doing most of what I want it to do, with the 
exception of restarting the audio and optimising it so that it can be 
deployed as an applet.

I wrote down some key points of how it was put together, if any of you 
seasoned pros have any comments or suggestions on how I can improve this 
model please leave a comment on my blog:

Thanks again for those who've responded to my questions. As a newbie X3D 
developer, even with a computer science degree I've found Xj3D 
difficult; rather like trying to eat spaghetti whilst wearing boxing 
gloves.

P.S. has anyone had any experience writing a MIDI sequencer with X3D?

Best regards,
