I am also alive.  Before adding you as a developer I'd like to code
review at least your first commit.  Can you send a patch to the list?

On a related note, if this project because active again I think it
would be a good idea to make code reviews standard for all commits.
I've gotten used to using them at work, and in general having a second
set of eyes on each change helps increase code quality.
I'd recommend migrating to svn so we could use http://codereview.appspot.com
What do other people think of this idea?

Hi Joe,
thanks for your reply.
Indeed I've been working with the current cvs version, and I don't think 
my code breaks anything.
It would be fine for me if you added me to the developers.
I'm already an admin on a few sourceforge projects, I wouldn't mind 
becoming one on JSynthLib too.
Anyway I'm glad to see this list (and project ?) alive again !

Hi Denis, Robert, Joe,
Great to hear from you guys, thanks for JSynthLib a ton!
I've never been an admin for any software project, and I'm also not a
programming expert, but if there's something I can do to help this project
...
JSynthLib deserves to be kept alive and kicking imo, where's the todo list ?
If there's a need for admins, please add me as an admin too .

I've seen the file section on the yahoo groups page needs some spam
cleaning, I could do that e.g. ...
And I'm eager to learn more Java and to improve JSynthLib, just like Michael
Hawkins.

All the best,
Peter

Yeah... we should probably have more than one admin who's provably

So, you're proposing that as a new driver name? There isn't a 
KorgHawk800 already that you're planning on adding to?

Well, if you use the same codes as a stock 800, then that could be an 
issue. I /think/ JSL just queries the Sysex ID and then asks each driver 
if they know how to deal with that device. I don't remember what it does 
if multiple drivers claim to be able to drive it. Ideally, it would give 
the user a choice of the drivers... however, it might just use the first 
one that claims it can do it.

What might be preferable is to write/ammend a Korg800 driver so that it 
could detect (via additional Sysex commands, perhaps) the presence of 
the HAWK-800.

I wouldn't think that it would support changing stuff via controllers, 
since those CC messages would be seen by all devices on that channel, 
no? The original developers were kinda paranoid about stuff like that. 
It's probably best to change the current patch parameters via Sysex... 
like most other devices do.

Oui Denis, you ARE a developer!

Now, if we could just find an admin that's still alive on this project.

Well in the meantime, I have taken the unabashedly brash move of trying to take over the project.

I am no Java expert but I can probably manage this project while at the same time learn a great amount about Java.

Let's see what happens but I would still love to hear from an admin.

I'm not aware of the activity on this list, you're the first sign of life I
get since subscribing here two weeks ago :D
My current project is writing my first driver for a Roland Spd-11, and I'm
new to Java too, so it's some kind of a struggle here.
I hope there will be more people responding, because i also don't have any
experience administrating a source-forge project.
JSynthLib is just too great to let it silently die ...

I suppose you use a "singleDriver" for this ?

and a "bankDriver" for this ?

but I have not yet implemented any sysex for the operating patch memory.

 Do you mean you have to finish overwriting the sendPatch(Patch p) method ?

I have implemented MIDI controllers that can edit the operating sound in
> real time.

These MIDI controllers are written in a sequencer I guess, not in JSynthLib
? JSynthLib doesn't support MIDI sequencer atm I think.
here's the help description of core.Driver.playPatch(Patch p):
void core.Driver.playPatch(Patch p)

Play note. plays a MIDI file or a single note depending which preference is
set. Currently the MIDI sequencer support isn't implemented!
See Also:Patch.play()ISinglePatch.play()

There's a piece about "faders" and "fader banks" in the documentation but I
didn't use it yet. I think that's what you're looking for...

*Although Editing on-screen using a mouse or keyboard is efficient and all
editing functions can be realized this way, JSynthLib also provides another,
optional, method to edit controls-- Faders. A Fader is simply a knob or a
slider you might have on a synthesizer or fader box which sends a MIDI
control message, when moved. Almost all synthesizers have at least one or
two, and some advanced ones such as the Kawai K5000S have as many as sixteen
or more. In addition, there are "Controller Surfaces" you can buy which
consist only of Faders (either as knobs or slider). *

*These faders are generally used to edit parameters on synthesizers, but
have two major drawbacks. First, they are often designed to work only on a
certain, hardwired parameter or only for a particular synthesizer. Second,
its difficult to picture what's happening when editing this way, because you
don't get any visual feedback. You can't simply look at a Controller Surface
and tell what the current settings are for the parameters (unless you have a
motorized controller surface). *

*JSynthLib allows you to overcome these limitations. If you have a
Controller Surface or other source of MIDI Controller Messages which has at
least 16 Faders, you can edit any synthesizer supported by JSynthLib and see
visual feedback on your computer screen. *

*To set up your controller surface, look under Window->Preferences->MIDI.
Look at that section in this documentation for help on setting these up.
Once set up, when you move a fader, the corresponding control in the active
Editor Window will move. *

*As you probably realize, however, there are usually more than 16 controls
in an editor window. This is where the concept of fader banks come in. A
fader bank is a group of 16 controls which respond to faders. You can choose
which bank your fader movements are sent to either by using the 15th and
16th buttons on you Controller Surface (if your controller surface supplies
buttons and well has faders) or by using the "Next Fader Bank" Option on the
toolbar. Note that the labels for the controls in the currently selected
fader bank are darkened slightly. To determine which fader bank and fader
number will move a particular control, simply let the mouse cursor hover
over the label for that control and a tool-tip will pop up with this
information. *

[Jsynthlib-devel] Please add me as a developer

[Michael H. <pat...@ya...>]

Hi Jsynthlib ppl,

I have been sending emails to admin's to try to get me added as a developer but no one is home. I am not even sure the lights are on. LOL

Can someone help me get added as a developer?

And should we get someone who is current added as an admin?

Here's a couple of questions.

I am about to start development of a device driver for an upgrade kit that I developed for the Korg Poly-800 MK1 and EX-800.

The kit provides a a memory upgrade with brand new firmware including comprehensive SYSEX and MIDI controller implementation among many other new features.

First question:

Should I create the device driver as KorgHawk800 (where HAWK-800 is the name of my upgrade kit)?

Or should we create a convention for non manufacturer custom device implementations?

All of my SYSEX code use Korg's manufacturer ID and Poly-800 device ID codes, so I think it should go in as KorgHawk800. But that's just my opinion.

Second, a the moment, the sysex implementation includes single patch dump sends and receives as well as a bulk dump command but I have not yet implemented any sysex for the operating patch memory. I have implemented MIDI controllers that can edit the operating sound in real time.

Does jsythnlib support using MIDI controllers to edit/change real time sound memory? Or do I need to implement a SYSEX to control the operating memory?

Thanks all,

Mike H

[Jsynthlib-devel] XioSynth patch editor, 2nd try

[Jsynthlib-devel] Novation XioSynth (and XStation ?) support (and small modif for copy/paste)

[Nicolas B. <nic...@la...>]

Hi all,
I've added support for Novation XioSynth patch editing to JSynthLib.
Patch editor doesn't include arpegiator and X-gator.
Bank and single patch are provided.

I also modified the CreateTransferable function in 
core/BankEditorFrame.java (cf attached patch).
Although I'm not sure it's correct, this modification allowed me copying 
/ pasting from single to bank patches.
(Copying from single to bank didn't work for me before but maybe I 
should just modify my bank or single driver,).

Would anyone commit this driver (and maybe the modif in 
BandEditorFrame.java if it's correct) to the cvs repository ?
(tgz should be extracted from JSynthLib directory)

It would also be nice if an admin could generate a new binary package 
since the current one seems quite outdated..

Thanks in advance.

boul

PS : driver is tested under linux and mac, I have no windows available.
PS2 : I read that XioSynth and X-Station are quite similar so maybe it 
also works for X-Station.

[Jsynthlib-devel] Trying to write my first driver for Roland SPD-11 "Total Percussion Pad"

[Peter G. <pet...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to write my first driver for Roland SPD-11 "Total Percussion Pad"
If anybody here is interested in giving me some support, it would be very
much appreciated.
I've got almost no experience with Java or any other programming language,
but I do know the required sysex information and I've been tinkering with
dmaker in 2003/2004
to get a driver for the SPD-11 working for an outdated Cubase version.

This time I want to do it in an open-source project like JSynthLib.
To get an overview, I've put some info together on these pages:

http://spd-11.wikispaces.com/JSynthLib_driver
http://spd-11.wikispaces.com/sysex
http://spd-11.wikispaces.com/sounds (the names of the sounds, in JSynthLib's
array format)
http://spd-11.wikispaces.com/JSynthLib-dia (UML diagram)

Thanks for the wonderful JSynthLib program, I'm already using the KorgX3
driver
and will share some patches with great pleasure (in case any X3 owner reads
this ;-)

Try to contact Brian, the origin initiator of this project, to update 
the website.

Hi,

after some time a reactivate my sourceforge account and made Joe to an 
admin. Now he can add other sourceforge members as developer to the 
JSynthLib project.
So, don't forget to become a soureforge member to be a JSynthLib developer.

Well, I'm not an admin, so I can't grant CVS access to others. I *am* a
developer, though, so I can commit changes to cvs for others.

I'm willing to be an admin, if someone wants to contact one of the other
admins and nominate me. However, since I, too, am guilty of not doing
any work on the project in ages, I don't think I can nominate myself
with a straight face.

Hello,
I also have been on this list for several years and have seen few  
traffic here. Anyway, JSynthLib is really a good piece of software,  
so I have decided to develop it  on my own. I have added several  
drivers as well as some modifications to the core. I was surprised to  
realize that  nobody here was interested in my changes. Finally,  
thanks to Bill Zwicky, they are in CVS, so I do not longer have to  
maintain my own version.
I am writing this to point out that the project suffers from bad  
luck. The are no active admins and developers. Being a frequent  
jsynthlib user I am ready to spend some time to contribute as well as  
prepare packages for OS X but it requires at least one active  
administrator who could spend some time to manage the project and  
answer emails. Is such a person here on this list? Perhaps it is a  
good time to put some live into the project.

[Jsynthlib-devel] A dilemna about jsynthlib

[<an...@te...>]

Hi Mike,

I have been on this mailing list for several years now without being active
with the development of JSynthLib (shame). I once started to develop an ANx1
implementation and got pretty far until my harddisk crashed. I wasn't very
good with CVS/SVN at that time so everything was gone. My college work somewhat
took over and I never got around developing for JSynthLib.

Regarding your question, I don't know if there is anyone out there still
active on this list, but I would be willing to help you with CVS stuff as
much as I can. I must confess that I have not used CVS on Sourceforge yet,
but I have experience with SVN in "production" environments, so I should
be able to manage CVS as well.

As for the JSynthLib modules, it has been a while for me, but I could at
least give it a try and see where I end up.

Greetings,
Imco

[Michael H. <pat...@ya...>]

Hi Jsynthlib people,

Some months
ago, I sent out an email to the list asking for some help with
Eclipse and CVS stuff and how to start my own device module. I got no
response from anyone on this list.

Now I have actually
finished building a retrofit kit for the Korg Poly 800 MK1 and EX-800
synth module. The new kit provides full sysex implementation along
with 4 LFO's instead of 1, portamento mono mode, full MIDI controller
implementation and a gazillion other new functions. And I am now
seriously looking at developing a patch editor/manager and I thought
jsynthlib might be a good candidate.

But here is my
dilemma.

This list and thus, this project looks almost dead.
It certainly is comatose and the patient is being wheeled down to the
morg.

Now I have a pretty good record for sticking to projects
I start. Who spends two years rewriting the 8085 assembler of a
synthesizer made in 1982?

But it seems to me that it might end
up being a bad idea to use jsynthlib as the platform for the editor.

Does anyone have some opinions on this?

If I do decide to take on jsynthlib, I
am going to need some help getting my head around CVS and the modules
involved in jsynthlib itself. Should I expect to have to do this
without help or is anyone/everyone out there willing to at least help this
sourceforge newbie find his way around the basics?

Any feedback is very much appreciated.

Anyone interested can check out my Poly-800 upgrade
kit at http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800

Cheers,

Mike

[Sean E. <cyb...@ya...>]

Hello list, I am a big fan of JSynthLib.  I am not a Java programmer, but I would like to see more synth drivers.  I have Behringer V-Amp pro, but so far, that seems to work with Wine on Linux.  A driver for that would be nice, but is not pressing.

If someone would like the challenge, support for the Alesis HR-16 and the A.R.T. MultiVerb would be very helpful.  I do have manuals as pdf's and I would also be willing to help test.

Thank you.

Well, it certainly can't *hurt*. If it even drew 1 or 2 enthusiastic 
programmers to the project, it would be a plus.
