ok, sounds like there's a decent amount of interest. i can't say for sure that i'm going to have enough time, but it would be cool to help people out, so i'll put it on the heap. a few things to clarify: a) this isn't going to be perl. i'm writing c++ right now so it won't be difficult to do a quick port, and it's much nicer that way... i prefer the elegant/simple solution; download the exe, run it, it works. for mac osx this should be simple since i'm using no M$ function calls, so gcc under osx should compile it straight off. let's hope. b) both export (repeater->pcwav) and import (pc wav->repeater) are going to be command line. ie, you open up cmd or a shell, cd to the dir you want to work in and type 'rptr-extract' and it recursively extracts all the files from that dir. is that ok with everyone? c) the pc->repeater thing is really awkward but will work d) i'll probably do a shareware thing that's between $10-$20 for both utils. e) the utils will probably do other stuff as well, like splitting stereo files, for example. also, i may need some help from time to time, to test things. i suppose i can hang on to my repeater while i'm doing this which will help, but i'm sure it'll be cool to have people using the util. i'm also happy to take any suggestions about other things this little guy could do, if anyone has any ideas. how does all that sound? feel free to make comments/criticisms. btw, if you're interested but haven't said anything yet, email me. the more people that speak up, the more interesting it is to do. paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Ritchford [mailto:tom@swirly.com] > Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 8:26 PM > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: RE: Repeater owners question > > > >what about being able to take loops and insert them into a repeater > >compatible format? is it useful to be able to pc->repeater as well as > >repeater->pc? i had that mostly finished, albeit in a very > hacky way. you > >have to know the tempo of what you're putting in ahead of time and jump > >through a hoop or two, but it definitely is helpful if you've > got a bunch of > >loops at, say, 132 bpm that you want to insert in mass perfectly > on to your > >repeater. worked well for providing backup tracks for me. > > > >i've got some good reasons for getting rid of the repeater, some of them > >financial, some of them related to another future post. but i > have a love > >for the concept of looping and for the concept of the repeater, > so it would > >be cool to help people out who actively use the repeater. know > what i mean? > > Wow, that'd be SO cool.
