Developer Andrea Magni from Italy has released a free REST based TFDDataSetProvider for Delphi XE7 Firemonkey with LiveBindings support. What this component allows you to do is connect to a DataSnap server (or any REST+JSON enabled web service) and prototype the data at design time. This components works across all Firemonkey platforms which are Android, IOS, OSX, and Windows. The data from TFDDataSetProvider is loaded at design time by right clicking and selecting “Retrieve Data From Server”. The data gets loaded into a TFDMemTable in the client at design time and then via LiveBindings it is displayed for rapid prototyping in the controls that you bind to the TFDMemTable. With this component you can prototype apps that use REST services just like if it was using a local database. The component should also work with Appmethod. The blog post about the component is in Italian so you can use Google Translate if needed. A demo video is provided and the source code is available on Github.

Make your game do what it needs to do in a visual and human readable way with the powerful event system. There’s no need to memorise cryptic languages. Focus on what really matters: designing your game! It’s ideal for beginners, and powerful enough to let experts prototype faster than ever before.

LiquidSonics' Reverberate is a highly efficient convolution audio processor offering true zero-latency operation for two separate, stereo impulse responses. Reverberate seeks to provide a richer and more dynamic sounding reverb from impulse responses by optionally modulating an amalgamation of two, separately controllable IRs using an LFO. Further modulation is possible using the post-processing effects; an all-pass interpolator chorus provides a fuller sound and an over-sampled analogue prototype paragraphic equaliser is provided with dual LFOs. These features make for a livelier, more creative sound than typically associated with some convolution reverbs.
