Flickernoise will be the user-friendly VJ application optimized for the Milkymist One and the Milkymist SoC. It renders hardware-accelerated visual effects comparable (and, to some extent, compatible) with those of MilkDrop 1.x, the popular audio visualization plug-in for Winamp.
Flickernoise will allow the creation of visual patches and their connection with all the interfaces that the Milkymist One provides thanks to an easy to use graphical user interface. Let the visuals react to sound and MIDI events, connect a camera and create live phantasmagoric images of yourself...
Source code
Flickernoise is covered by the GNU GPL license version 3. The source code is hosted by Github. No releases have been made so far.
Software stack
Flickernoise uses a modified version of the Genode FX embedded GUI toolkit, which provides all the elements for common user interaction (windows, buttons, etc.).
It will be running on the RTEMS real-time operating system. Porting RTEMS to the Milkymist SoC is done as a Google Summer of Code 2010 project.
