Dynamod Games is at East Coast RepRap Festival on the HueForge booth! Very excited that this worked out and that people can see HueForge is also useful for functional designs, in this case the multicolored Dynamod floors!

Hi. I am thinking of getting the app (looks amazing btw - nice work) but have a couple of questions to see if it does what I am looking for please: 1- can it record loops with lengths not snapped to the grid/bars/beats of the host tempo? (I.e. like an audio loop pedal - you press it once to start recording (or press a key on a midi controller) and press it once more to stop recording and start looping) Can it record snapped to the bars and beats as well? 2- can it record parallel tracks with different track lengths? (Polyrhythms etc) 3- does it have midi learn function (with AUM as host for example)? I would like to use it for live midi looping with synths, and control it with foot pedals and such, hence the midi learn function. Thanks!!

MIDI Widgets is now available on the Vision Pro App Store! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/midi-widgets/id6478060436 MIDI Widgets is the first spatial MIDI designer, fully embracing many new capabilities of Apple Vision Pro. This initial version of MIDI Widgets supports faders, buttons and knobs. More controls will be added in future updates. MIDI controllers can be positioned anywhere in your physical spaces and will stay anchored where you put them. MIDI Widgets will recognize different rooms and locations and restore your controller designs exactly as you left them, even across restarts. Controllers can be grouped in scenes, allowing different layouts to be recalled for different purposes. Each scene has its own set of enabled MIDI outputs. [image: 1708825623687-screenshots-collage2-resized.jpg] Features: Designed specifically for Apple Vision Pro Create as many faders, buttons and knobs as you need Freely position and orient individual controllers Spatial snapping makes it easy to build out perfectly aligned larger control surfaces Controllers automatically remain anchored to their location, even across restarts Controllers can be grouped in scenes and are easily recalled for different purposes Freely re-position and re-orient entire scenes Scenes can send MIDI messages to multiple configurable MIDI ports Support for Bluetooth LE MIDI devices Built-in virtual MIDI to send MIDI to other Vision Pro apps on the same device Per controller MIDI channel selection Per controller MIDI Control Change, Channel Pressure, Program Change or Pitch Bend messages Per controller 7-bit and 14-bit Control Change resolution Controllers can optionally reset to a neutral position upon release Faders and knobs can be unidirectional or bidirectional Every part of a control can be assigned a different color for recognizability Colors can easily be copied and pasted, individually or as complete color schemes Controllers can have optional labels that can be placed on any of the four edges A floating tool window follows your left or right hand and allows editing anywhere Multiple controllers can be used simultaneously, allowing for dual hand interaction

MidiWrist Unleashed is a complete rewrite of MidiWrist as a standalone Apple Watch application that doesn't use the iPhone as a gateway for MIDI connections anymore. MidiWrist Unleashed is able to make direct Bluetooth LE connections to MIDI devices and has a full suite of config/editing tools included. MidiWrist Unleashed is rapidly becoming the most full-featured standalone WatchOS app I've seen. It feels really cool to be able to do so much just on your wrist. It supports multiple MIDI control presets with auto-reconnection to BLE devices, any number of panels per presets, knob/button panel, support for the digital crown, XY panel, motion panel, ... with full configuration of MIDI settings, name, layout, alt corner buttons. Next up is a transport control panel and then a stepper panel with one big control and up/down buttons. Finally, adding color selection for each panel and control, and then I should be close to release. [image: 1711398537191-433009729_10160411008734608_538875369241314573_n.jpg]

I have new versions of SendMIDI and ReceiveMIDI available with MPE Profile support. The intent of these versions of my tools is that people can focus on either the initiator or responder role for their product and leave the other part of the negotiation up to either SendMIDI or ReceiveMIDI. This should make it easier to bootstrap adding MPE Profile support. https://github.com/gbevin/SendMIDI https://github.com/gbevin/ReceiveMIDI SendMIDI allows simulating the role of an MPE Profile initiator, while ReceiveMIDI allows simulating the role of an MPE Profile responder (only on Linux/macOS due to virtual port creation) Here's an basic example of usage: Create a virtual MIDI port named profiletest and configure it to support manager channel 1 with 15 member channels as a responder: receivemidi mpp profiletest 1 15 Use profiletest both as the MIDI output and input port and request the MPE profile to be enabled as an initiator with manager channel 1 and with 6 member channels: sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 1 6 The relevant outputs could be: receivemidi mpp profiletest 1 15 Responder MUID 0x0d1212d6 waiting for MPE Profile negotiation on channel 1 MUID 0x03926473 : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 1 and 6 member channels MUID 0x03926473 : MPE Profile details inquired for optional features sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 1 6 Initiator MUID 0x03926473 negotating MPE Profile with manager channel 1 and 6 member channels MUID 0x0d1212d6 : Discovered MUID 0x0d1212d6 : Requesting MPE Profile enablement with manager channel 1 and 6 member channels MUID 0x0d1212d6 : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 1 and 6 member channels MUID 0x0d1212d6 : Inquiring MPE Profile details for optional features MUID 0x0d1212d6 : MPE Profile details received for optional features MUID 0x0d1212d6 channel response : not supported MUID 0x0d1212d6 pitch bend : supported MUID 0x0d1212d6 channel pressure : standard controller MUID 0x0d1212d6 3rd dimension : standard controller This is another possible example: Create a virtual MIDI port named profiletest and configure it to support any manager channel with up to 8 member channels as a responder, this also disables pitch bend as a supported feature and enables bipolar controllers for channel pressure and 3rd dimension: receivemidi mpp profiletest 0 8 mpb 0 mcp 2 m3d 2 Use profiletest both as the MIDI output and input port and request the MPE profile to be enabled as an initiator with manager channel 2 and with 10 member channels: sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 2 10 Then, use profiletest both as the MIDI output and input port and request the MPE profile to be enabled as an initiator with manager channel 12 and with 6 member channels: sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 12 6 The relevant outputs could be: receivemidi mpp profiletest 0 8 mpb 0 mcp 2 m3d 2 Responder MUID 0x04b33d6f waiting for MPE Profile negotiation on all channels MUID 0x00166e57 : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 2 and 8 member channels MUID 0x00166e57 : MPE Profile details inquired for optional features MUID 0x001a9680 : MPE Profile disabled with manager channel 2 MUID 0x001a9680 : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 12 and 4 member channels MUID 0x001a9680 : MPE Profile details inquired for optional features sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 2 10 Initiator MUID 0x00166e57 negotating MPE Profile with manager channel 2 and 10 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : Discovered MUID 0x04b33d6f : Requesting MPE Profile enablement with manager channel 2 and 10 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 2 and 8 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : Inquiring MPE Profile details for optional features MUID 0x04b33d6f : MPE Profile details received for optional features MUID 0x04b33d6f channel response : not supported MUID 0x04b33d6f pitch bend : not supported MUID 0x04b33d6f channel pressure : alternate bipolar controller MUID 0x04b33d6f 3rd dimension : alternate bipolar controller sendmidi dev profiletest mpp profiletest 12 6 Initiator MUID 0x001a9680 negotating MPE Profile with manager channel 12 and 6 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : Discovered MUID 0x04b33d6f : Requesting MPE Profile enablement with manager channel 12 and 6 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : MPE Profile disabled with manager channel 2 MUID 0x04b33d6f : MPE Profile enabled with manager channel 12 and 4 member channels MUID 0x04b33d6f : Inquiring MPE Profile details for optional features MUID 0x04b33d6f : MPE Profile details received for optional features MUID 0x04b33d6f channel response : not supported MUID 0x04b33d6f pitch bend : not supported MUID 0x04b33d6f channel pressure : alternate bipolar controller MUID 0x04b33d6f 3rd dimension : alternate bipolar controller Full documentation can be found by typing sendmidi -h or receivemidi -h.

Hi everyone, I've decided to make RackBlox fully free. You can now download all the files from Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/585275-rackblox-modular-eurorack-case-free-and-open-sourc Thanks for all your support so far!

RIFE2 v1.8.0 is available: https://github.com/rife2/rife2/releases/tag/1.8.0 Added support for Java 22. Added support for WebJars when running with the embedded Jetty or Tomcat servlet container. When deployed as a WAR, WebJars were already supported. Added rife.feed package to make it easy to generate content syndication feeds. Fix to template parsing to support tags inside angled brackets without adjacent spaces. For instance: <{{v value1/}}></{{v value2/}}> Template improvements when being processed through web engine. The Context parameters are now used for the param: filtered value tags instead of request parameters. Fix to ensure that templates going through the web engine Context always get the context added as a template attribute before printing the template. Added ability to set custom attributes in CookieBuilder. Fixed issue where MySQL TINYINT(1) columns wouldn't be converted to boolean types in the database layer. Improvements to tests. Updated to latest bld. Updated RIFE2 IDEA plugin. Updated to latest dependencies.

This is a brain-dump tutorial of how to use the command-line on macOS, specifically for using my tools SendMIDI and ReceiveMIDI. IMPORTANT: Apple changed the default shell from bash to zsh. This video refers to the file .profile that needs to be edited. Instead of .profile, use .zprofile which is what zsh uses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o1kg0IbetY

Tactile Patch Sheets are a 3D printed design vocabulary to help vision impaired people more easily dial in synthesizer patches on hardware synths. https://uwyn.com/tactile-patch-sheets/ I started this work two years ago and was finally able to get everything written up, and all the files created, tested and uploaded. Everything about this work is open-source and BSD licensed. [image: 1692556820700-mavis_foldable_kick_drum2-resized.jpg]
