[Jsynthlib-devel] A dilemna about jsynthlib

[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

[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

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.

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.

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.

Another topic is the JSynthLib Website www.jsynthlib.org:
Try to contact Brian, the origin initiator of this project, to update 
the website.

bye
