Last post by KhantLOL - Today at 15:09:10

Over a year of using OpenMPT as my main DAW, here are stuffs that I'm working on!

(link to video if you can't watch in embed!)
I've made some techniques and work-arounds to make it sound like something that's made with a proper DAW. And I'm planning to make an OpenMPT tutorial and another video to share my techniques, but it'll be a while! Please let me know if you're interested so I'll have some motivations to work on it! ^w^

Development Corner / New JavaScript library to writ...

Last post by chr15m - Today at 08:39:39

Hey all,

I just released this small library to create .it files from JavaScript. You pass it a JSON definition of your song and it outputs the binary blob for a .it file. It works in Node.js and also in the browser.

I'm going to be using this to build some stuff but I thought it might be useful for other people too.

Code: https://github.com/chr15m/itwriter
Demo: https://chr15m.github.io/itwriter/

Enjoy!

General Chatter / Re: Making my own music commun...

Last post by SewerSide - May 18, 2024, 12:34:11

Ideas kicking around that is good... Was looking up how many music genres there are some sites say over 5,700?!!... I bet alot of them aren't much music oriented... At a size like that I'm sure someone beating on a garbage can lid with a tennis racket has their own genre...

So the concept of sticking to a genre is probably a a failing concept these days...

Maybe constriction is a concept... Like using BramBos Moonfish Tracker from 1999 which was made as a joke!... Three tracks mono samples up to 64 of them up to 16 MB size (quite large)...

Anybody can learn it in a minute, Moonfish song file submitted for review in compo...

Of course it would be limited to windows users...






Now I would be onboard 110% on that one>>>

Perhaps a forked edition of OpenMPT that is renamed and rebranded for people who want an alternative would not be a bad thing, and with that would come an alternative community surrounding a forked, renamed and rebranded version of OpenMPT. However it could have the effect of totally killing OpenMPT and its community.

Help and Questions / Re: Plugin settings not saving

Last post by Saga Musix - May 15, 2024, 16:58:04

Interestingly I have been using the Drumazon previously in Psycle and it worked fine, the manual also states that it will save all the parameter changes in the song file, but somehow it is not loading them once I reload the song in openMPT. I used a hexeditor to check the actual songfile and I can actually see the correct value in the file (I just maxed out a decay value for the bassdrum). But once I load the song in openMPT it does not interpret it and rest to the factory defaults (which according to the manual of my vsts is the default behavior, IF there is no extra information stored in the song). When I then save the song again (again factory presets) I can see that the decay has changed in the actual file again.

That very much sounds like typical unregistered / trial plugin behaviour, so I would double- and triple-check that the plugin is really properly installed, that the correct plugin DLL is loaded (maybe there are several of them in multiple places?), and that loading the same plugin DLL currently still works as expected in Psycle.

That seems like a bit of an overkill to draw a straight line in a sample (espeically since it will do more than just that).

Help and Questions / Re: Plugin settings not saving

Last post by crayfish77 - May 14, 2024, 21:46:17

thanks for the pointers! I have recently reinstalled my windows partition but have not reinstalled all of my vsts again, I just used the old directories. After reinstall it is partially fixed. Meaning, for some plugins it does save bank selectors and parameter changes, and will reload them when opening a song.

Interestingly I have been using the Drumazon previously in Psycle and it worked fine, the manual also states that it will save all the parameter changes in the song file, but somehow it is not loading them once I reload the song in openMPT. I used a hexeditor to check the actual songfile and I can actually see the correct value in the file (I just maxed out a decay value for the bassdrum). But once I load the song in openMPT it does not interpret it and rest to the factory defaults (which according to the manual of my vsts is the default behavior, IF there is no extra information stored in the song). When I then save the song again (again factory presets) I can see that the decay has changed in the actual file again.

Not sure what I can from here as the VST clearly pushes values into the song file but does not read them back correctly. There is no other MIDI banks or presets active that I can tell, everything is pretty much default. I even checked all options and settings that I would have active in the same VST in psycle and there it works as you'd expect.
