Read and Write WAV Files in Java In this code tutorial, I show you how to get java to play nice with WAV files. It's a little bit trickier than you might expect!
Wii Play the Drums This is a fun little piece of software that turns your wiimote into a drum kit. It uses natural drum-kit motions to trigger sounds, and it is easy to set up on any windows pc. You can get the source code here.
Suite for AudioSurf AudioSurf generates gameplay based on music. That gives us musicians a unique opportunity to act as level designers. See how I took advantage of this.
How to Code a Sampler in Java In this tutorial, I cover the basics of timing and audio playback in java. Full source included, of course.
Wii Drum Kit Source Code
First off, I am sorry that this took so long. I know that some of you are having issues with the software, and I wanted to address them myself, but I clearly don't have time for that. So thanks for your patience. Thanks for checking up on the project, and reminding me that I should be opening up the source.
Second, you should all know that I have not edited this code one iota. It hasn't been cleaned up for distribution, and I haven't had time to add explanatory comments. In other words, approach at your own risk!
Still, I naturally put a ton of comments in my code, and for most programmers, it should be pretty easy to dig right in to. If you make any improvements, or fix any bugs, send me an email and attach the fixed file. I will add the changes to the main project, and put up a post to credit you.
Don't forget that you need a bluetooth dongle. Also, I have the DirectX SDK installed on my PC. I'm not sure whether you need that, or just the runtime DLLs to compile it.
#ish at 2008-04-08 04:30:00Converted to C# Thanks Evan, I converted the project to C# and to make use of the latest WiiMoteLib. Also there is no need to reconnect the nunchuck after the program starts. For those who are interested the source code and the installer are available here: WiiDrumsEXM_CS.zip
and at 2008-04-20 12:19:59How to get it working? So I've downloaded the WiiDrumsInstall och installed it. I downloaded WiimoteLib 1.2.1 and don't know what to do with it (it says "error reading data from Wiimote.. is it connected?). How should I install everything and use the programs to get the drums goin' warm? (I have successfully connected the wiimote with my pc via BlueSoleil so far)
I appreciate your work on this!
sergio at 2008-06-18 08:54:10C# version not available I can't download the C# version. It seams that Streamload, where is hosted, changed its name or something. Could I get it from somewhere else? Thanks!

#ish at 2008-07-29 02:09:25C# Source Code The C# version can be downloaded from here or here.
at 2008-12-26 19:22:06non riesco ciao sono italiano e sinceramente ho capito poco di quello che hai spiegato, potrei avere delle informazioni dettagliate in italiano? grazie
at 2009-08-14 06:27:46C# version down the yourfilehost thing seems to work at first, but then the file is not found -.-
Nobody at 2009-09-17 02:43:09RE: C# version down The second link (http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=WiiDrumsEXM_CS.zip) works fine by me..
paul at 2010-01-18 14:49:51RE: C# version down The C#-Source-Download doesn't work for me either. If anybody's got the file I'd be very grateful, if he could upload it on some site. I could offer to mirror the file, but to do that, I have to hold it in my virtual hands ;)
