Hi again!

So I've just heard back from Ernst, who was kind enough to beta test my script for me. Apparently the tuning's way off, so you currently need to set the knob to about 8 or 9, but otherwise it's pretty much working. (This surprised me too, for a first attempt!) So in order to rapidly fix this, I think I'll need to wait until I've got my own A-112 module to play with. In the meantime, rather than leave everyone with nothing, I figure you'd probably prefer to have something you can play with right now, even if it's currently imperfect.

Here's the script as it is so far: http://bytenoise.co.uk/makedoepfer.py.txt I'll fix the tuning issue and add proper comments and documentation in a few weeks or so, hopefully. The script's part of a larger open source project of mine that lets you change the bit depth, sample rate and so on of wave files, split up large wave files into lots of little single hits, stuff like that. So anyone with a decent mic, an A-112, and lots of free time, a fun weekend is assured! :D

Anyway, for any programmers on this mailing list, you can fork the project from https://github.com/ZoeB/wave-tools and play around with it, fix things and add features as much as you like.

For anyone with an A-112 who wants to send some 8-bit .wav files to it RIGHT NOW, here's a quick step-by-step guide:

* Download http://bytenoise.co.uk/makedoepfer.py.txt
* Rename it makedoepfer.py
* Install Python 3 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0.1/
* Go to the command line, into the directory with makedoepfer.py and your .wav file
* Type in "python3 makedoepfer.py [whatever].wav"

You should have a new .syx file that you can plop into your sysex sending tool of choice, such as C6 or any of the others.

This should work on Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, and so on. Let me know of any bugs and I'll try to fix them as soon as I can.

Enjoy!
Zoë.
