Frankie, I have added you as a developer. Anyone willing to provide code can of course be added. Just say so instead of discussing how dead the project is and that you are thinking about a fork.

Hi, Well I hope noone takes offence if I sounded a little critical of the jsynthlib project! :) IMO if you have part of a synth driver working - e.g. single patch librarian - its good to submit that part and get it out there. then as you get more parts done to add them in as well. If noone's using the driver then noone's going to report any bugs (or fix them themselves!). If by review you mean a code review by someone else, I could give your drivers a lookover if you think that would be useful, although I'm not mega familiar with the jsynthlib codebase yet, cheers, Frankie On 09/01/11 16:46, Peter Geirnaert wrote: > Hi there > > I'm the one the OP was talking about, who wrote two drivers and a wiki. > Don't blame the JSynthLIb community for my code not being in SVN, I didn't > ask for it because I feel like my code is not yet finished.

Hi there I'm the one the OP was talking about, who wrote two drivers and a wiki. Don't blame the JSynthLIb community for my code not being in SVN, I didn't ask for it because I feel like my code is not yet finished. I had to stop putting time in programming because I had to find a real job (meaning it makes money). I also didn't have internet at home for about a year. Now I've a job and internet so I'm thinking about picking up JSynthLib again. The work I've done on the drivers needs a good review too, I'm not even sure where I put the last reviewed files. It's always nice to see this list wake up again, after a long sleep once in a while. Greetings from the Belgium Peter |

As things are now, compiling JSynthLib means compiling *all* of the synth drivers, and the same goes for distributing it. If we hope to add many more synth drivers, this is going to get out of control. So, we'll need to come up with a way where we can just compile/distribute the core JSynthLib app, and then have that app load the individual synth drivers from individual jar files or something. - Joe |

I think what the project is missing is releasing binary builds from svn for download on regular basis. That would allow more extensive testing of experimental code by people without programming skills required to build themselves, but who really could use the program in real world. That probably also would encouraged potential contributers to release code at main project site. These sites that you found are really examples of creepy forking of the project, which just is washing out developers resources. I hope those people are still subscribed to this list and will pay attention at this discussion and maybe would turn back to contributing here.

Joe, You are listed as project admin. Did you ever try adding anyone to svn access? Few months ago you said you could add me to the project, but that ended with nothing. Did any other admins objected? Or it just did not work technically? Regarding you experimental work: The mechanism for such activity provided by subversion is branch. Once you created you branch you can screw it around in any way you please, it would not affect main line of development and releases. Once your branch would arrive to some agreeable good state, it can be merged back into trunk for common use. If you would put you refactoring effort on the branch 4 years ago, there would be a good chance someone could pick it up and help you finish it. When i was working on driver code, I was wondering on some design choices for class hierarchy, and I was very itchy myself to refactor the code. I decided to hold my horses until I could at least discuss that with main developers. So, please, create a branch for refactoring and commit you work there. It would be a shame to waste that effort.

Looking on google there is a guy who has generated drivers for two of his own synths, yet this is not part of the code in SVN. He's written quite a lot of info about it here http://sites.google.com/site/experimentalfrush/jsynthlib and apparently started the WIKI that was linked to this list yesterday. What a waste!! He's been updating his driver for the SPD11 as recently as July this year judging by his github ( https://github.com/freqrush/RolandSPD11_JSynthLib/ and https://github.com/freqrush/YamahaCS2x_JSynthLib ), so its a waste that he's going to all this effort and its not getting incorporated into the SVN repository. Google also reveals that there is also some refactoring effort or something that someone was doing a couple of years ago: https://github.com/jpcaruana/jsynthlib - dunno if this is the same refactoring effort that Joe Emenaker was talking about earlier or if its a different attempt. My general feeling is that all this work should be taking part on the developer list, and all this work (the good stuff at least) should be getting brought into the main jsynthlib repository. So the project seems to have in recent times failed to engage with the developers that obviously want to help it advance! which is a shame really. And as there are more synths in SVN than appear on http://www.jsynthlib.org/synths.html, I wonder if there should at some point be a release to make these drivers available to more people - if they're not getting used they're not going to get improved! Or at least update this web page so that it reflects the current state of the development branch. This is what I think anyway. Regards, Frankie |

There simply has to be either better documentation on it or a better way of doing it. But maybe I just still don't know what I am doing!

I moved everything into packages which compartmentalized what everything did (ie, a package for low-level MIDI message handling, a package for the main GUI, a package for the widgets, etc.). The two big hurdles were: 1 - Rewriting the low-level MIDI stuff. As I recall, sending and polling for MIDI signals was done with the GUI thread or something, so I made a new thread which would handle all queuing of MIDI messages and notify various sysex handlers that something had come in for them, etc. It made it so that I could write a little MIDI monitor window to watch incoming traffic, etc. 2 - Re-vamping the hierarchy of the JSynthlib widgets. It turns out that the basic JSynthlib window was named something strange, which made it hard to get up to speed on how to make a new synth-lib module. Anyway, as you can imagine, with a huge refactor like that, there were tons of compile errors as I changed around the way things were invoked, etc. When I ran out of steam on it, I think there were still a handful of errors that I couldn't really figure out how to best solve... so I never committed the changes. Since the project is so dormant, I'm tempted to dig the code up again and commit it just to see if it generates some renewed interest... - Joe |

I found and fixed some errors in drivers for Yamaha01v, RolandJD800, NovationSBS which caused the auto scan feature to incorrectly detect any synth that responds as one of those. I have added a patch to the project patch queue and also uploaded it to the git repository I created: https://gitorious.org/jsynthlib-temporary-development/jsynthlib-temp cheers, Frankie |

Vladimir, Although I understand the frustration, I'm a bit skeptical about forking the project because it would potentially throw away a lot of useful stuff this project has built up - e.g. the documentation such as the "how to add a synth guides" which seems quite accessible, links to the sourceforge website etc. However its useless if noone who has patches available can get them shared with other people easily. Looking back through the list, not only have there been several posts from people who have offered code that doesn't seem to have been included for whatever reason, but the build issue that I fixed in about 5 minutes was reported back in 2009! So the SVN has been broken for 2 years! I propose a temporary alternative repository that we can use to get some changes done until someone with svn access takes interest in the project again. To get the ball rolling, I have created a git repository over at gitorious.org and I have uploaded my patched version of the svn trunk to it. Perhaps you might want to upload your SY77 code to it? Its at https://gitorious.org/jsynthlib-temporary-development/jsynthlib-temp I plan next to start working on support for my Proteus 2000 - I note that you also have this synth so maybe we can work together on it.

Well, after looking carefully at developer section of the project I discovered civilized way for occasional developer to submit changes. There is a patch section. The lonely patch that i found in there was molding there since 2009. The patch added support for SY85. So I added a couple of patches there. I suggest anyone with useful changes contribute through that interfaces as well. We will see how that would work. BTW, there is also bug tracker for the project. Lets try to bring the project to life in a civilized way using available tools. If all this activity would still be ignored by project owners, then it would be worth discussing other options.

I'm not an admin, so I can't help. That's why I threatened to fork. It looks like the developer docs are hard to find.

I ran into some rather tough jsynthlib admin's a couple of years back. I think it was you Bill! But in retrospect, I understand why the admins were tough on me because I now know that I then new nothing about what I was doing. But my, my was it hard trying to get up to speed with jsynthlib with that kind of newbie treatment. Well, that water has gone under the bridge so I do recommend opening jsynthlib up for wider contribution. Basically, I think that anyone that wants to join the development team should be permitted to submit changes. I doubt that vandals will be all that interested in jsynthlib. Let's face it, it's been almost impossible to get any developers interested! And I don't think it's because of lack of functionality nor do I think it's because of total lack of interest. A cross platform MIDI librarian is a wonderful thing to my mind. The only thing that drives me nuts about jsynthlib is the maddening process of laying out widgets. There simply has to be either better documentation on it or a better way of doing it. But maybe I just still don't know what I am doing! Nevertheless, if someone opens up sourceforge jsynthlib a bit more then I am quite sure we would get a bit more support from the wider community out there. Please add me as a developer!

Vladimir, are there any restrictions on forking (license-wise)? Are the project owners alive and responding, at least? JSynthlib is great, no doubt. I borrowed some code from there when I knew even less of what I was doing in terms of MIDI in Java. Then I decided to ignore JSynth entirely and I ended up writing confusionists.com/handsonicwhich turned out to be a mildly popular product. I have no point here, really, but I think that the usability concerns for end-users are a causal factor in the lack of interest. Speaking of open-source projects with very little public development interest, I have created confusionists.com/mjdj, a MIDI translator or morpher engine and API framework. I mention this because if anybody out there (with an interest in Java and MIDI) would be interested in taking a run through the code, it would really help out. Good luck with JSynthlib. This list hasn't produced any mail in months, so you might be on to something by starting anew. Best, Daniel |

Checking back archives of the list brings several offers from different people to contribute already made changes, like the one that started this thread. They all were "calmed down" all right because of absence of any activity from developers with svn access. In general, I would think Source Forge should allow creating branches in any project's repository by anyone, not just to registered developers of the project. That way actual changes can be published and tested by much broader audience, sort of wikipedia approach. I have deep respect to the work that have been done by creators of the project, but currently the project is not being improved, and does not accept any help being offered. And improvements can still be made in different parts of the project, not just adding drivers for new synths. Such state of affairs pretty much means dead project to me. I hope the project will be revived either as continuation of current line of development, or as a fork. As for doing something first - I already offered few months ago a librarian for yamaha sy77. Shall i dump it in form of patch onto the list?

Hi, there were already some speaking about taking over/forking. All of them calmed down pretty soon. My advise is: Develop something new first and then eventually start thinking about a fork. But I'm pretty suer there is no need for a fork: If you want to do something, simply do it and don't just talk about doing it.

Hi, I have downloaded the latest version of jsynthlib from svn and found that there are various problems with the code in trunk. * The RolandD10 driver seems to use features from Java 1.5 whereas the build.xml specifies version 1.4.2. * Some files are not encoded correctly causing warnings about unmappable characters. These occur in the YamahaDX7 and YamahaFS1R synth drivers. I have updated the build.xml to specify Java 1.5 - this seems better than rewriting some of the RolandD10 driver. I have saved the relevant files in the Yamaha drivers as UTF8. Is there anybody with SVN access that can put these fixes into the repository? Also if anybody wants a copy of these minor fixes off me before they find their way into SVN, then I can email the files that I have changed. Looking at the mailing list, this project seems dead lately but maybe its just dormant ;) I have a couple of sound modules (Emu Proteus 2000 and Roland U220) that are not supported by jsynthlib and I may be motivated to add support for them if there's anyone still interested in this project.

Hi, definitly I am still an active user of JSyinthLib, but traffic indeed is low on this list. I still have the idea to add a driver for the Roland JV-1080, but did not start by now. For the start I have downloaded the Java SDK, but not yet installed. For the Atari I wrote a small program in Basic for the Kawai K4, and have some experience in C on the PC, so I think Iwill undertstand thesourceof Jsynthlib at least on a leveltoadd a new driver by modifying an existingone.

To be more specific: Only after I had compiled and packaged the latest SVN development trunk in a jar file the error was happening. Looking more closely I discovered the problem was that the gif images for the DX7 algorithms were not found. But I could run "java JSynthLib" and then this problem did not happen. I also managed to fix the problem: 1. I moved the gif images from synthdrivers/YamahaDX7/images/ to synthdrivers/YamahaDX7/common/ 2. I edited synthdrivers/YamahaDX7/DX7FamilyVoiceEditor.java (diff file attached to this mail) 3. I compiled, and packaged the results in a jar file Now the DX7 voice editor works again. Maybe someone with SVN write access can commit (or improve) my fix to the trunk ? (BTW: I had to disable the RolandGP16 driver in the Makefile. Something is wrong there too, I could not compile without removing it from the list in the Makefile. Maybe someone is able to fix that one too ?) -- MT |

Hi Martin! We could probably exchange knowledge, I am a professional Java programmer, but I have a few questions about Yamaha programming. I started do develop a driver for FB-01 but haven't finished yet, mostly because of these doubts. I'll try to write exactly what I'm talking about as soon as I return to programming it.
