bees 0.7.1

• BIGNUM should now remember x/y location
• add new boot mode: hold down SW1 (second from left) to perform a "clean boot." this attempts to find and load a file called "clean.scn. unlike SW0/SW3 "firstrun" mode, this doesn't perform any writes to flash, so is a little faster and safer as a live performance "panic button."

bees 0.7.0 !! breaks scene compatiblity for MIDI and WW!!

• new op: MIDI_OUT_CC
• new op: BARS8
• new op: ROUTE16
• fix midi input ops not remembering their channel number
• MIDI_NOTE op now has 3rd output for noteoff velocity
• WW operator now has 7th output for current position
• scrolling page selections now cancels any pending keypress actions.
• INS page now refreshes displayed values on page selection or ALT press.
• scrolling with ENC3 now deletes characters in scene/preset name editors.
• explicitly disable blackfin audio before module change

WARNING scenes using MIDI and WW operators will need to be recreated, to take advantage of these fixes. other scenes should be fine.

bug fix, corrects parameter slewing for the svf in lines which was broken in versions 0.2.2 and 0.2.3

bug fixes only, no feature changes

• bees: fixed parameter initialization when using lines-0.2.2+
• lines, waves, dysn: minor internal change to avoid rebooting the dsp unnecessarily

bees 0.6.1

• added op: SHL, SHR (bit shifting)
• added op: CHANGE (filter repeated values)
• fix: bees dsp loading tries non-prefixed module name on load fail
• fix: address several causes of bees scene loading lockups

lines 0.2.2

• enabled clearing of buffers on load

note: around the time of bees 0.6.0 the aleph- prefix on dsp modules (aleph-waves.ldr, aleph-lines.ldr, etc.) was removed from the build however the previous release still included files with the aleph- prefix. this release removes the aleph- prefix from the filenames (now waves.ldr, lines.ldr, etc.).

bees scenes referring to modules via the older aleph-* names will continue to work, bees will strip the prefix off automatically if needed. to update older scenes to the newer module names simply recall them and then store them again (this is not required but it will speed switching between scenes).

testing build of beekeep patch editor for mac (built using 10.8.5)

changes:

• added font support to the bundle, should basically work now.
• added slightly better filesystem awareness. launcher script supplies a default working directory (~/aleph) which can be overridden by setting the $ALEPH_DIR environment variable. this is where beekeep will search for .dsc files and save exported .scn and .json files.
• added a scene-file selection button, so you don't have to launch with an argument from the terminal.

known issues:

• the app will not run on 10.6 or earlier. not sure about other versions != 10.8.
• file selection will only work with .scn files, but doesn't reject other file types. so selecting other things might crash or whatever. so don't do that.
• still missing icons for various things (spinbuttons, popup menu, file selection dialog things.) not sure what's up with that.
• missing a destroy-window-event handler, which sometimes results in the "quit unexpectedly" dialog. (and segfaults on linux too.)
• missing a command-Q handler (same issue?)
• general cosmetic stuff, alignment, real estate optimization, etc.

feedback and contributions are much appreciated!

testing build of beekeep patch editor for mac (built using 10.8.5)

known issues:

• since the app was designed as a command-line utility, file handling is still really kludgy. in order to find .dsc, .scn, and/or .json files, the app needs to be launched from the terminal with all relevant stuff in the working directory.

for example, assuming app bundle, .dsc and .scn files are all together in ~/aleph , you would type:

cd ~/aleph
beekeep.app/Contents/MacOS/beekeep

(this is probably pretty easy to fix with some extra work in the launcher script?)

• the app will not run on 10.6 or earlier. not sure about other versions != 10.8.
• for some reason there are missing pixbufs for gtk3-specific widgets (?), namely spinbutton and popup menu button, so these will look stupid. this seems to be a regression bug in gtk3 on mac, as i've seen it in other mac ports. might be able to fix it by messing around with theme files.

beekeep - graphical scene editor.

initial testing release for 32b and 64b linux.

bees 0.6.0

new op: WW (white whale) new op: ARC (basic monome arc op) new op: HID (read USB HID bytes) new op: SERIAL (send serial over USB to a computer) new op: FADE (mix between two parameters) as part of operator programming guide new op: DIVR (division with remainder) op change: ENC now reports DELTA output and has a VAL set input op optimize: MP (meadowphysics) optimization (and match eurorack) fixes: op STEP, display ops, menu display bugs.

see CHANGELOG for full update.

also now available are DSP, application, and op programming guides. see http://monome.org/docs/aleph

included is the aleph-mix application which is a simple mixer demo.

quick fix to step op.

added a preliminary version of aleph-dsyn percussion synth module. it has some issues:

• silly default values
• funny retriggering / gate mode behaviors ?
• dropped / interleaved frames (?) with simultaneous voice triggers
• lots of speed things (need function pointers instead of per-sample test/jump, etc)
• need some form of pan/route/mix
• param labels are too long

note that there are also some updates to bees that are necessary for this module to work. namely there are new param types.

for this version of bees (in turn) , the param scaler data must also be updated. i renamed the scaling table for "note" param class to something more generic; plan to add more .scd scripts to generate alternative tunings from 12tet.

so anyways, i recommend using this .zip as a starting place. other 0.5.x scenes should still work.

note: updated attached .zip with aleph-140411 . fixed bees release build, include updated dsyn (with noisier noise), and remove some osx hidden files still floating around.
