Thanks for the mention! Actually, Spaz is an open source application. You can get the source code from the SVN repository at http://code.google.com/p/spaz
@Ed, Thanks for the info, I’ve updated the page.
It’s really starting to look like desktop applications are the future… There’s no way you could get this kind of functionality in a browser!

Have a look at http://test.ikitikla.com . It is very biggest e-commercial project.
@GDizzle : I don’t see anything here that wouldn’t work as a SWF in a browser…. Can someone explain to me again why I would want to use AIR ???
I am very interested in the “digimix” sequencer, but I can’t find out anything about it. The digimix page just has a logo on it now. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a copy of this program, or better yet have access to the source code? I’d love to know how they created this.
