OctaEdit - Octatrack Software Editor and Librarian [ OSX / Windows ]

What code language do you write in?

If I end up doing anything it’ll probably be C#. I’ll share whatever I do in case somebody wants to make an equivalent for Mac.

I don’t think I have the skills to be of much help, but I would be very happy to see this going!

Starting just with project/bank/patterns swapping would already be a great first step that shouldn’t take much work.

And then I guess adding sample slot swapping/ordering would be the most popular request (?)

I haven’t touched C# for years, but I’d be interested in seeing what you do. I could port it over to Python or use it as an excuse to learn more Node.

The developer decides it’s tools so go for it!

(If would make it i would made it with electron and standard webtech so it is easier for more people to chime in.)

Yeah I agree that C# is not the most cross-platform friendly but I figure I can prototype a lot faster using a language I know well.

I’ve started writing down some thoughts and initial findings–very, very preliminary:

My first step is to build a console app that just spits out basic info about projects (i.e. part names, which patterns are in use, which parts they use). Once I have that I can create a crude visualization of a project, and then look at adding an option to swap banks.

These days I find Python really quick to prototype stuff but I’ve not used it to build and UIs.

Progress!

Yes I know how it is :muscle:

I didn’t mean to hijack this thread, I will create a new dedicated thread shortly, hang tight.

Is there any hope for this to be downloadable again?

PS it looks like the registration for octaedit.com is set to expire soon, I wonder if rusty will renew it or if the site will go offline?

Unlikely :

There’s always macOS | Mono !

Yeah, I wish Rusty the best. Gotta pay the rent and put food on the table.

If I was able to get a license from someone who was no longer using Octaedit is there a way to run this software on an older Mac or is there a ā€œgotchaā€ I need to be aware of? Is there any way around the date expiration of the beta? There’s no other option out there which is a shame.
