The holiday is over
Well, the week of holiday is over. Didn't that go quickly? I can say that I had some really impressive weather. Okay, it rained quite a bit, but it was 13-14°C and not so cold at night. In fact, this morning (7°C and foggy) was like the first day the weather was less impressive (and more what you'd expect in February).
I did more tidying up in the kitchen and cleared off the windowsill, resolved the problem of the missing phase, got the grass cut (though, already, it doesn't look like it!), smacked down some nettles, and got the letterbox doohickey installed. Various movies on Netflix, and some time to write blog entries and sit out in the sun with my e-reader. Given how the weather was leading up to this week, I wasn't really expecting to do any of that. So it's been pleasant.
9am tomorrow, on the other hand, will be less pleasant. I have been getting up between half six and seven every morning to feed kitty and make tea...and then ruining it by sitting in bed with my tea and then dozing off for a while. Oops.
My next holiday, to use up my hours/days owing, is the final whole week of March. So that, what, the 24th to the 28th? I can imagine there will be brambles involved somewhere amidst all of that.
SimpleSeq v0.25
Jean-Michel tried my program alongside Rhapsody4 and discovered that it was outputting a small amount of silence regardless of whether or not the "include silence" was ticked. This is because I was incorrectly passing the tick box handle rather than the tick box value, and as such it was always non-zero, hence logically 'true'.
This has been fixed, as has it outputting two crochets of silence rather than a whole bar. To see what affect this had on MIDI import, let's look at what Rhapsody4 did.
On the left, how it used to be, with the timing right out of whack. On the right, much better. Actually, this is what you'll see whether or not you have the initial bar of silence as Rhapsody4 will detect this and simply omit the silence. Heck, even CakeWalk 3 isn't that smart. ☺
 Messed up on the left (note the rest), better on the right.
When you are in the AutoChord dialogue, you can Ctrl-click either of the buttons to hear the selected chord play. It plays as long as the click is held.
At long last, SimpleSeq now allows you to choose which port to output to (input is always from "any"). You can set this in the program setup (^F8). It will display a selection which will reflect how many ports are currently available. Note that it assumes that ports are sequential (as in the original Acorn API).
 The setup dialogue now allows for port selection.
A few other tweaks and fixes have been made, internal stuff.
Here's the update for you:
I have not updated the user guide at this point. If you're interested, here's the v0.24 one:

As of February 2025, commenting is no longer available to UK residents, following the implementation of the vague and overly broad Online Safety Act. You must tick the box below to verify that you are not a UK resident, and you expressly agree if you are in fact a UK resident that you will indemnify me (Richard Murray), as well as the person maintaining my site (Rob O'Donnell), the hosting providers, and so on. It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.
You can now follow comment additions with the comment RSS feed. This is distinct from the b.log RSS feed, so you can subscribe to one or both as you wish.
