Synth Grabbing Tool Half Finished

Yesterday night, I half finished my synthesizer grabbing tool (working title “p1tornxi”), which shall create Renoise instruments from e-mu Proteus/1..3 synthesizers (sound modules) one day. As of now, it can communicate with any synthesizer (sound module) of that series, and it supports all firmware versions. This is necessary in order to retrieve patch preset (instrument) information (like preset name) and to access all preset (instrument) banks. If all goes well, the tool will be able to hit notes on the sound module for all instruments, sample them, and automatically recognize drum kits, start and end points as well as loop points. Very ambitious of me! :D The program will be Linux-only, free (as in GPL-ed) and it uses ALSA for MIDI and audio purposes.

PHP to Use Backslash as Operator

Today, Slashdot noted that PHP is about to get the blackslash (\) as a path separator for namespace resolution. Nice! :D

Have a look at the new resources section! :-)

Personal Homepage

I’ve hosted my personal homepage on ekkehard.newphoria.de now to have more stuff in one place. My URI ekkehardmorgenstern.de is still valid, of course. It simply redirects to the new page.

Welcome!

This marks the beginning of the Newphoria Blogs page.  :-)

To navigate the site, please use the panels at the top and right hand side of the page. Enjoy! :-)
