So Scene Parser was ported to the X-Air platform to help in creating these partial scenes.

So I developed an offline alternative interface as a better solution.Įven though snippets were not a feature of the X-Air consoles, I discovered that partial scenes could function as snippets). It became apparent that the M32/X32 show screens (Cues, Scenes, Snippets) were awkward to use, particularly with re-ordering lists, etc. So I ported Live Toolbox engine to work with the X-Air consoles in order to provide the users with tidbits (equivalent to snippets) as well as other X-Air specific tools. One of the features missing on the X-Air (from the X32 platform) is snippets. X32 OSC and more recently Wing OSC commands were also added. To make it easier for the user, I developed a tool with a list of X-Air OSC commands and a user interface to convert the strings to hex notation and called it Sysex OSC Generator. One of the features provided was to send OSC commands using a sysex string of hexadecimal equivalents. Shortly after the X-Air consoles were released in 2015, there was an enormous need by the new users to enhance the midi capabilities beyond what was provided using cc and pc.
Thus tidbits, a snippet-like function, was developed with time-based and relative commands. It also became apparent that some needs required something beyond the capabilities of the OSC command (which process point-in-time and absolute settings), such as fade, cross-fade, etc. More tools were added as they were requested or suggested. Instead of releasing separate tools (apps), I decided to combine them into one app and called it Live Toolbox. With Patrick's help, I began to develop online (live) tools for needs that came up on the forum. I decided to provide all my apps as freeware and open-source to the X32 community. So I developed a tool using Lazarus/Freepascal to take a scene file (which includes most of the console's settings) and parse (extract) out sections and modify the results to make a snippet that does exactly what you want, nothing more, nothing less. But I found the snippet screen awkward and not very granular. When the X32 firmware 2.0 was released, I fell in love with one of the new features called snippets. Here are my apps with explanation and links, in order of creation With that knowledge and understanding, many developers (including myself) have been able to create external tools to help users expand the capabilities of these digital consoles beyond their initial design. The end result was his extensive and concise document ( unofficial X32 OSC Protocol) that we have all come to love and appreciate. They also made available the external protocol, a dialect of the OSC protocol.Unfortunately the documentation consisted of a 3 page document of a basic overview.Ībout a year later, Patrick took upon himself to investigate and document the X32 OSC protocol.

When the X32 was made available in the summer of 2012, there were very few external apps available (X-Control (now called X32-Edit) for PC and Mac, and XiControl (now called X32-Mix) for iPad). Many thanks to those who have helped by reporting bugs and suggesting additional features. Allow me to introduce tools that I have developed to provide solutions. But with flexibility and expandability comes complexity which can introduce difficulties in finding solutions to desired results. We have been blessed with a breadth of digital consoles from Music-Tribe that are both flexible and expandable. Welcome to all who are searching for solutions to enhance their digital audio experience and work-flow.
