New features testing needed

[angr77]

Seems to be working well!

I have still problems with the LCD contrast. But never mind!

But as you are just having a look at MDM ... I have a minor issue with an old feature at the moment: It seems that MDM doesn't read the midi in/out from my option file, I have to adjust the ports every time I fire up MDM. In "megadrummanager.cfg" Ports are properly saved like all the other options, so things go wrong while loading the options on startup. All other options are read on startup.

I'm using MDM on a linux machine, maybe it's because of this. Can you confirm? Megadrum firmware version is 20130901, Megadrum is the ARM based.

I'm testing it on Mac OS X and it seems fine.

With the sources you kindly provided, I tried to debug MDM on my own. But even after including all libraries you mentioned, I still have a few compile time errors about the objects "ConversationException" and "ConfigurationException". Can you tell me what's going wrong here? Maybe wrong sources or library versions? If I could get the sources to compile, I could maybe get an idea why ports aren't read on my system.

I included these versions of the apache libraries:
- commons-configuration-1.7.jar
- commons-collections-3.2.jar
- commons-logging-1.1.jar
- commons-logging-adapters-1.1.jar
- commons-logging-api-1.1.jar

Frank, A bit off topic...or?

What about:
forms-1.3.0.jar
miglayout15-swing.jar
commons-lang-2.6.jar

I made a MDM source code project last year...using Intellj Idea from Jetbrains...not too easy to get it to compile...but I succeeded.

I don't know. Check you .classpath. This is the .classpath in the project's top dir on my Mac:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
   <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
   <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
   <classpathentry kind="lib" path="forms-1.3.0.jar" sourcepath="forms-1.3.0-src.zip"/>
   <classpathentry kind="lib" path="miglayout15-swing.jar" sourcepath="miglayout-src.zip"/>
   <classpathentry kind="lib" path="commons-lang-2.6.jar" sourcepath="commons-lang-2.6-sources.jar"/>
   <classpathentry kind="lib" path="commons-collections-3.2.1.jar" sourcepath="commons-collections-3.2.1-sources.jar"/>

   <classpathentry kind="lib" path="commons-configuration-1.8.jar"/>
   <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

Updated test versions:

megadrum_20131111.zip

MegaDrumManager.jar.zip

I added a 'Load from Slot' option. Note, it doesn't automatically do 'GetAll' so after you do 'Load from Slot' you have to do 'GetAll' to reflect loaded settings in MDM.
Warning:I haven't tested these versions myself yet Tested it myself and it appears to work as expected.

Thanks a lot, commons-lang-2.6.jar was missing!

And sorry for posting it here. So, if I have another question about this, I will open up a new thread, though I think I'm still on topic ...

Hi Dmitri.

The 20131111 update seems to work ok. It is possible to choose and get preferred slot data in a nice way. Great stuff!
Now you are actually able to have a known working setup on slot 1 named "Default"...and be able to tweak it slightly save this config to slot 2 with a name called "NewConfig" etc...very nice when you are in the rehearsal room...then you could just swap slots on the fly.

I saw in MDM once that after pressing the "get all" button...that not all slot names was updated when pressing "load from slot" (only slot 1 came up) - I did it again pressing "get all"...then I saw both my slots. Lucky, I could not repeat and get the error again - I only saw it once.

After sending my config from MDM to MD...and reading back my config...and sending to back again to MD...I saw that all my custom names was gone. I did repeat the process a couple of times...but I could not get the error again. (Could have been a sending error...I think a saw red warning on the sysex error...so never mind!

Nice work, Dmitri!

An MDM "release candidate"

MegaDrumManager.jar.zip

Added a checkbox labelled 'Synchronized' next to 'Load from Slot' and 'Save to Slot' buttons. When checked (default) MDM does GetAll/SendAll after/before Load/Save from/to Slot.
Once confirmed as working correctly (angr77, thanks!) I will "officially" publish new MegaDrum firmware and MDM versions.

[angr77]

Verified and tested - Looking great!!!

angr77, thank you for testing! I have now "officially" released both latest MegaDrum firmware and MDM versions.
