X32 Scene Parser Files

Title: X32 Scene Parser
Author: Paul Vannatto
Licence: GPL 3.0
OS Platform: Windows, OSX, linux, RPi
Version: 1.15

* New parsing engine.
* This update adds DCA and Mutegroup for matrix and Main LR, M/C (requires firmware 4.06)

Function Summary:
* Scene, snippet, channel, effects and routing files created from any X32 consoles or the X32-Edit app can be input material in order to build snippet, channel, effects or routing files.
* If a library of various files are compiled, they can be combined with ease to create other files with specific functionality.
* Compare primary and secondary scenes to create a snippet of differences.
* Merge primary and secondary files (updating primary with secondary).
* Import X-Air scene files, including converting the various OSC commands.
* Once input material is parsed (or added) to the editor, it can then be refined using standard editing processes (cut, copy, paste, delete, etc.) in order to create a file that will make only the desired changes in the X32 - no more, no less. * Range replace feature allows multiple channels, mixbusses, etc. to be changed in one step.
* Using the new scripting function, many steps can now be combined to one operation.
* A CBE (create by example) function can use the Range Replace/Copy/Delete parameters to create a script command line.
* Graphic EQ parameters can now be copied from one EQ (or side of EQ) to another.
* Headamps values (gain, phantom) can be copied from one block (of 8) to another.
* Headamp phantom and gains now have visuals (LED & text) on the copy headamp screen.
* Input-Output mutes tool to easily create mute snippets.
* Rearrange channels by simply dragging them left/right in a grid.
* The Snippet Filter Value calculator can setup the snippet file header to reflect the functionality when imported into the X32 snippet GUI.
* A DCA and Mute Group analysis can be generated from a scene file, modifications made and appropriate snippets created.
* Sends analysis grid can load all sends levels, mutes and taps. Any changes can then be transferred to the Results editor for snippet creation.
* Clicking in the Results editor gutter highlights the line.
* A input/output list can be generated that can includes number, assignment I/O and name (where appropriate). This can be exported to a text file or spreadsheet.
* Import X-Air scene files, including converting the various OSC commands.
* Batch scene file processing using a scene file list (*.scl).
* This tool can be used to further learn the OSC protocol with its numerous commands and parameters.

Background:
The X32 Scene Parser has evolved from a simple scene to snippet parsing tool to a snippet building tool. It is an outcome of various discussions on the Behringer X32 forum. A desire/need was submitted to be able to create snippets with functions unavailable with the current scene/snippet GUI in the X32 consoles or X32-Edit app.

The goal of the tool is to be able to create files that could change the X32 in specific and controlled methods. This should be accomplished using a simple, but powerful mechanism in order to reduce the time necessary to create these files, so that the X32 engineers can focus their efforts in providing quality and seemless sound for the various events.

The tool is fully functional, available for the Windows, linux (32bit, 64bit and Raspberry Pi) and OSX platforms. The source code is also available and is licenced under the GPL 3.0 for anyone to enhance or broaden the scope of the tool. Because it is written in Lazarus (open source clone of Delphi), using standard object pascal routines and visual components, it can be freely available to anyone for this purpose as well as anyone with the desire to port it to other platforms (android, solaris etc.).
