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! The program will be Linux-only, free (as in GPL-ed) and it uses ALSA for MIDI and audio purposes.

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