10.5

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Release: MIDI Tools, v20071212

Release Type: Beta
Version: 20071212
Release Notes

This MIDI tools beta adds 3 new patches, and adds Polyphonic Aftertouch support to the input patches. (Note: This used to be called Global MIDI)

  • MIDI All Notes — Outputs a structure of all the notes on a given channel, or all channels.
  • MIDI All Custom Controllers — Outputs a structure of all Custom Controllers on a given channel, or all channels.
  • MIDI Note Follower — Outputs the last note, velocity, and aftertouch value seen (handy for giving arbitrary values via midi notes)

Many of these are experimental interfaces; I'm not sure how we can provide a powerful yet simple MIDI interface, but here's a few approaches. Please let me know if you've got any alternative ideas :)

Release: MIDI Tools, v20071211

Release Type: Beta
Version: 20071211
Release Notes

This update to the Global MIDI Beta removes some stale ports and adds some debugging messages to help diagnose connection issues. Messages are visible in Console.app, and should give a fairly verbose break down of what it's (not?) doing when connecting/disconnecting.

(please make sure the 'inputPortFilter' input is empty/unattached in your compositions before upgrading, otherwise you might run into problems)

Release: File Tools, v20071211

Release Type: Beta
Version: 20071211
Release Notes

This is an update to the File Tools beta that includes some new patches.

New Patches included:

  • Text File Writer — used to be a stand-alone plugin
  • Structure To File — saves structure contents to a file..
  • Structure From File — loads a structure from a file (saved with Structure To File)

Currently, the structure loader does not preserve the order of items in the structure. This means that items at a given index won't necessarily be at the same index when they're loaded. To get around this, access the structure by Key only. Working on a fix for this...

Release: GL Tools, v20071208

Release Type: Beta
Version: 20071208
Release Notes

This beta fixes the issue of GL Point textures requiring an alpha channel, so you can now use your iSight to make a "Me-Starfield" screen saver if you want :)
