It definitely took some time. But it’s finally out. And just when I thought I had all my bases covered, Adobe has just released a new public beta of AIR along with a new public beta of Flex 3. This renders two very crucial tutorials that I put together obsolete. I’ll be working this week to update those two tutorials.

For now, if you’re willing to brave it, here are the links a few folks have been waiting for:

• visp-vj.com - The official site for visp.
• visp Google Code Project - This is the project’s home for source code, bug tracking, and other related nerdiness.
• Mailing List - This is the Google Groups mailing list for visp.

I do want to say that visp has definitely been created with programmers in mind. You build your custom media from the ground up. I’ve tried to simply encapsulate things into the flash.display.Sprite class as a base (for custom media) and provide an easy API for handling both software UI input along with MIDI input.

If you’ve got questions, problems, bugs, or simply need some help, please head over to the Mailing List. I won’t be answering anything in the comments of this post. On the list, I’ll do my best to answer in a timely manner. And if you’ve got feature requests, they’ll be duly noted. But remember, this is opensource software, so you’re more than welcome to build the features yourself.
