i'm thinking about making a text editor to create and edit files for my g1. is there a way to send/upload pch files without using the editor? thanks.

iirc .. nomad started its life as a patch upload utility .. maybe something of that can be found still ...

Googled a bit .. not sure how directly relevant this is for your question jonah, but noticed that Marcus Andersson is still doing stuff algorithm wise with the NM classic [ http://formallanguage.blogspot.nl/2013_04_01_archive.html ]

Anyway .. I don't think Marcus monitors here but he just may be the person to ask about this stuff.

thanks.

i'll look into past versions of nomad. that other project looks very interesting too.

it was actually your tables documenting the nm patch info that inspired me. Smile

got me thinking about the database/relational programming i've done that creates a "patch diagram" after the fact.

i mean, i love clavia's editor, but for setting up giant logic chains/networks, which i find to be one of the uniquely powerful features of the nm, another way of looking at it could be interesting. even just working with the sine bank it could be useful.

Glad to see someone inspired Smile

Just remembered me doing some Delphi / pascal translations on Marcus' work ... over ten years ago ... http://www.iaf.nl/Users/BlueHell/html/nm-open/nm-open-software.htm I've no idea if that ever worked though Confused

I still read posts here once in a while. The command line patch editor you linked to above is a work in progress, but I use it myself to create patches now and then. I don't know how hard it would be for others to get it up and running. If you are brave and out of other options, give it a try.

It can be used to load patches. Use the command 'import patch.pch'. You could automate the interaction with expect if necessary, or if you know python it would be fairly easy to create a script import.py that just runs the command and then exits.
