Quote from: wadmixfm on August 25, 2024, 19:45:25here is a little long video to get you going

please bear with me as i am not a video producer or narrator

hope it helps

Awsome video Look forward to playing with it. Wish i new how to write something like this.

Kind Regards Baggey

Cheers mate thanks for that

its only taken a couple of weeks to do

its got a couple of little minor bugs i am working on them as i type this

the first bug is not a biggy , its when you create your song edits if you don't put in your ST for the song to stop , the software should add one , but i am ironing it out to sort that out.

There is a feature missing from the keymap page

if you change the tempos on each pattern but you want them all at the same tempo
you can set all patterns to pattern 01 by pressing Right ALT Key next to the space bar

There will be a few more little tweaks

i will add a tempo add button so you can type it in , instead of scrolling through for the impatient user lol

Also will add a return to step 1 with a button too

i will put the upadates on here when they are uploaded

Was this a Basic typein for the C64 or have you converted the Machine code to BlitzmaxNG

Baggey

no mate i have written this from memory

all the code is from blitzmax ng its not a d64 conversion its a complete rewrite

all code is mine

same with the SpecDrum Software i have done its all written from my mind i ran the programs and thought i can do that

and here they are

Lee

ooops i made another little bug which i have just found

when saving a song it saves it correctly but loading it fails

the demos i created and the ones in the songs folder work , these are the ones i created before meddling with code ooops

update will be posted soon

hey baggey if you have the windows one running just create a random pattern

then in the song editor create the song say 4 bar 01's and then the ST at the end

play that song

and then save that song as a name of test 1

then close the program and re run it

then load the test 1 song in and if it loads all well and good but if it exits let me know

as on the mac version i have found a length issue on the tstream file it was loading 1 too many bits of data that was not saved

cheers

Lee

A little update

added a button to turn on or off metronome

fixed the file error causing it to not load songs back in once you had saved them 

fixed ..... well created a better song editor so now when you create the song you select the pattern and press enter and now the ST moves along in front , also when deleting steps it removes the pattern you have put in and the ST moves back to the start. 

done a few tidy ups added a scroller message and added a few more kits and demos 

i will compile them both and upload them over the next day or 2 

Thanks for listening

just a little update

been working on the microrhythm program and adding new features and fixing bugs

i have been in collaboration with "MidiMaster" he is helping me with the midi side of things

i have added a midi timecode to chase from an external sequencer so microrhythm can keep in time
also added a midi module so you can use microrhythm just as a sound source from an external sequencer , bit like an old school sound module.

when i have tidied up the code and added the users midi options page i will post it for testing

cheers

Inside that folder there will be a file called MicroRhythm Mac 64 Double click that to run the App

Here is the Windows version

MicroRhythm Windows Version

Special Instructions  (its a bit long this bit but bear with me )

Install

You will see two short cuts on the desktop

double click the MicroRhythm 64 Windows

As the instructions above is all the same to get you going

***** Please Note *****

if you want to use this as a standalone , the program will work fine

if you want to use midi

If you are using a usb keyboard :-

This will bring up a dialog box saying No Midi detected

press ok

With Midi You can use an external sequencer to play the sounds as a module

to do this :-

I use Reaper (sequencer)

in the microrhythm install folder there is a midi folder with a midi file created to test
load this into your sequencer

if the sequencer is NOT connected to external midi hardware you will have to install
a virtual midi driver i used SpringBeats Virtual Midi Software its free to download

Springbeats Midi Driver

when you have installed that run MicroRhythm again
Press F3 On main screen
Press Ok
On the midi options page select Springbeats Vmidi 0

in your sequencer (reaper) go to your midi output devices page and enable Midi out Springbeats Vmidi1

load in the midi file as mentioned before
