- Fixed wrong parameter address for keytrack amount (Microwave I)
- Reworked midi port selection, force different device for microwave in and keyboard control

Utilized PortMidi for low level MIDI input and output. Sound bank requests are now twice as fast.

Engineering Build 0.9d047

Revised wave envelope display (Microwave I/II) with Scrollbar and better loop feedback.

(Update) Extended parameter value ranges for MicroWave I Version 2.0:
Panning Modulation: invers
Instrument Mode: solo
LFO 2 Phase Shift is multiplied by two for display.
LFO Sync and Humanize goes up to 7

Engineering Build 0.9d046

- Fixed crash in registration dialog if the entered code had too many chars.

- Show warning if requested sound bank is incomplete due to slow response.

- Fingered glide/portamento modes were missing (Microwave I w/2.0 ROMs).

- Wave envelope display for Microwave I was wrong because key off point, loop start point and loop mode were mixed up.

Better file (.syx/.SYX) filtering on MacOS X.

Max/MSP Arpeggiator Patch

admin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:53:52 +0000

Harry Gerber Kybernetik proudly presents: arpXT, a reverse engineering of the famous Microwave II’s Arpeggiator.

It can be downloaded either as a standalone (23.7MB, Mac only) or a collective (1.3MB, Mac/Windows), which requiresMax 5.0.7 Runtimefrom cycling74.com). The Max Patch itself can be found here.

For the curious, here is a screenshot of the software.

Version 0.7 is still unfinished, there’s one shortcoming:

- Direction alternate/random is only working in hold mode.

Possible Bonus features planned (from Blofeld with love):

- Additional “One Shot” – mode for Active parameter.
- Additional “Alt Down” for Direction parameter.
- Length parameter for arpeggiator notes [1/96 .. 48 bars / Legato]
- Overlap: optional noteoffs for notes with same pitch.
- Timing Factor: optional time shift (“shuffle”) the arp timing of individual arpeggiator notes [0..127]
- Additional “Velocity Each Note” / Fixed Velocity [fix 32 / fix 64 / fix 100 / fix 127]
- Additional Pattern Parameters:
- Step (position -> [off, on, prev, first, last, first+last, chord, random
- Accent [silent, -96, -64, -32, +0, +32, +64, +96]
- Glide sends channel message 65 [off / on]
- Timing [random / -3...+3] (if Timing Factor == 127 -> a 1/16th note is delayed up to a 1/32th, pos or neg.)
- Length [legato / -3...+3]

Happy sequencing, Michael

Engineering Build 0.9d043

New version compiled with Xcode 3.2 / GCC 4.0 on MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The application now requires at least MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger).

Microwave Editor for Classic is also still available and has been tested successfully on MacOS 9.2.

Engineering Build 0.9d042

Individual waves from any non-algorithmic wavetables can now be stored/loaded. The 64 values are written in floating point format to a text file. (Look at the screenshot to get the idea)
