* From Jay Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For quite some time now I've come to realize that more and more musicians involved in the various TekLab mailing list communities are also computer programmers, designers and engineers. There has been a great deal of interest lately on the various TekLab mailing lists in getting to know more and more people involved in music software projects, and for this reason I have set up a new TekLab mailing list called the tekdev-list. If you are interested in music software development, whether it be for Windows, Mac, BeOS, Linux, or whatever, then you are more than welcome to join the tekdev-list and join in the discussions with other music software developers about the growing technology of music software. As an example, here are a few of the projects that tekdev-list members are involved in OpenSMDI - http://www.teklab.com/openSMDI/ --------- Of interest to most of you I'm sure, is the new OpenSMDI project headed up by Chris Nowak, which is setting out to create an open SMDI transfer library free for use by other software developers. Chris is using the tekdev-list to discuss features, coordinate others working on the library, and announce new version releases for other programmers to use with their products. tekTools/XRazor/XToolz - http://inneraktive.e-zone.com/ ----------------------- Also, Jon Gilkinson, of innerkative software fame (author of the old-time favourite tekknobox sequencer, and now the ever-fabulous XRazor/XToolz sample editing system and plugins manager) is going to be joining us on the tekdev-list shortly to further discuss his open widget set for Windows music software developers. As many of us have marvelled over Jon's GUI design, his is a welcome presence on the tekdev-list! A3kDiskyPC - http://www.teklab.com/products/a3kdisky/ ----------- And of course, there is the subject of the A3kDisky plugin system, v1.0 of which is going to be released very shortly so that developers can further extend the import capabilities of A3kDisky and thus increase the sample library options available for the Yamaha A3000 (and the other soon-to-be-released A-series) Samplers. I will be using tekdev-list as the main interface to coordinate the efforts of plugin developers interested in participating. b.Zone - http://www.teklab.com/~bzone/ ------- Peter Govaers' excellent PC editor system for the Yamaha A3000 Sampler has long been a subject of deep interest by other programmers in the A3000 community, and it is hoped that Peter will contribute his expertize in the area of A3000 Sysex and Windows MIDI programming to the growing list of programmers that want to expand their experience with MIDI by writing editors and library programs for their new instruments! That being said, the tekdev-list is not restricted to only these projects - if you've got an idea for a music application that you'd like to work out with other talented designers, programmers and engineers, you are of course more than welcome to bring it up on the tekdev-list for discussion! To subscribe to the tekdev-list: -------------------------------- Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following lines in the message: subscribe tekdev-list end You will shortly receive a confirmation message - simply follow the instructions in that message, and you'll be added to the mailing list! (Note: This list was formerly known as the a3kdev-list... for obvious reasons I have changed the name) j. -- Jay Vaughan | [EMAIL PROTECTED] TekLab | http://www.teklab.com {UsePGP:[YES] ICQ:[454804] IRC:[EFNet:#teklab/Torpor]} ** A3k Sample Library: http://www.samplelibrary.net/ ** ___________________________________________________________________________ The Yamaha Hardware Sequencer (qy/rm1x) Mailing List is a free service provided by TekLab and is open to all members of the Internet community.
