Hey everyone! School is keeping me extremely busy, and I haven't had time to work on MD Machine Lab lately. Don't worry though, it IS coming. As soon as I get a decent amount of free time, I'm going to sit down and finish writing this thing :) Andrew

Take your time. School is more important. Of course you know that.

Here's the description of MD Machine Lab which I plan to post on my website: MD Machine Lab A Perfect Symbiosis of Mac and Machinedrum Imagine being able to harness the power of Machinedrum's synthesis engine with your Mac. This dream is now a reality! MD Machine Lab allows you to create, tweak, and save individual machines (drum sounds) on your Mac! It provides a slick, easy-to-use interface, giving you complete control over your sonic design. Fast and Lightweight I wrote MD Machine Lab on a 400 MHz iMac DV SE. While it's not THE slowest machine out there, it's still pretty freakin' slow! Therefore, ensuring that my programs run as efficiently as possible is a top priority. MD Machine Lab is a Cocoa application, written entirely in objective-C. Furthermore, it's multi-threaded, and includes optimizations for the G5. Undo! Undo! Make a mistake? No worries: MD Machine Lab features unlimited levels of undo and redo! This means you can tweak all you want without fear of losing a precious creation. Randomize! The randomize feature of MD Machine Lab gives you the ability to set machine parameters to random values. Additionally, you get to choose which parameters get randomized! Internationalized Speak a language other than English? No problem! MD Machine Lab supports many different languages, including Swedish, French, German, and Japanese. I'll let everyone here know when I finish it ;) Andrew

I might add pattern editing later, but initial release will be geared for creating, editing, and saving machines (which is why I called it "MD Machine Lab"). Andrew --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, "endlessnessisticman" <moving808@e...> wrote:

Coding it for PC (whether we're talking Windows or Linux) would require completely re-writing the code from scratch. This is because my app is written in Objective-C, and relies upon Mac OS X's Cocoa library and Core MIDI. Therefore, I won't be releasing a version for a non-Mac OS any time soon. Sorry.

Fair does, I understand and to be honest I wasn't expecting a "yes". I asked just on the off chance. I will take my MD into another studio where we have Macs and try out your software.

FWIW, I'm working on some Elektron librarian software that will eventually allow pattern editing. The main focus is to allow you to archive all of your old songs, patterns and kits and then pick and choose from several archives to construct the MD (and eventually MnM) memory however you choose. It will also allow you to place several songs into one song for better live playback. And eventually it will allow you to edit your songs, patterns and kits from within the software. Though this isn't the focus; so that functionality will be last to be implemented. Currently, you can only view the contents of patterns/songs/kits. Oh and it will run on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux! Though there is, of course, a tradeoff. The interface is not nearly as beautiful as Andrew's; it's much more generic. And there will likely not be direct MIDI transfer support; you'll have to use a Sysex transfer tool and then load the file in my software. Anyway, it's coming along; I'll make more announcements when there's something to show/test. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Andrew, I have OSX anyway, but are there comparable (not compatible but comparable functionally) MIDI libs available for Windows and Linux? I'm sure there are, and the Obj-C portion would compile under gcc (under cygwin on Windows). I couldn't do it, but maybe there is someone else who knows of these arcane things. In any case, it would still be a pretty large re-do. Chris

Sounds nice. It would be much easier to build a song if you could have a bigger screen. The problem may be in listening to it.

The problem isn't that other platforms don't have similar MIDI, GUI, and data structure libraries. The problem is that other libraries function completely differently. The names of classes, and the methods they contain are all different. Although I could reuse most of my algorithms, the code with which they're currently implemented with would have to be completely rewritten for each platform. That's not to say that I won't ever port it, just that it might be some time before I do :) Andrew --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, Christopher Mitchell <chrism@l...> wrote:

I hadn't thought about it really. but I suppose that it is possible. I can tell you only that I'll promise to look into it. and that's only because I know nothing of SMF format so I can't say how easy/hard it would be to add.
