overtone
In today's episode of "stuff that's there that no one knows about": overtone.gui! Ready made UIs for controlling synth params, a pianoroll, step sequencer... all removed from the main repo with a comment that it's to be "a separate library", but no such library was ever created. I fished it out of git and pulled it all into a separate repo. With a bit of tweaking most of it still works nicely today. https://github.com/plexus/overtone-gui/tree/main
The only part that was still in the main repo was the scope, but supposedly that required a internal server. Turns out that that's not really true, there's a bit more overhead sending buffers back via OSC, bit it seems to work fine.
It does all use Swing (via Seesaw), so UIs that actually use swing components and text are ugly as sin... but still pretty neat.
Good news we get to keep the scope even without the internal server:heart:
A month ago a handful of people indicated they would like to help with the maintenance of Overtone. Do any of those offers still stand?
I’ll be able to take some time to get up to speed w/where the project stands and assess my interest/availability later in December or early January. A few other things taking priority at the moment.
With the at-at repo, yes!
I have limited time at the moment, but still ok for testing/reviewing now and then.
Honestly just an emoji reaction when I post stuff here would already help a lot.
