Maybe Break Stuff?
Feb. 17, 2021, 2:37 p.m.I just realized bank files are designed wrong! Right now, keywords like router_rules, cc, and cc_links can be used within individual patches or at bank level (i.e. zero indent). Bank-level…

Squishbox Editor: FluidPatcher Desktop Mode
Aug. 15, 2020, 7:23 a.m.FluidPatcher has had the wxpython-powered desktop implementation wxfluidpatcher.pyw for a bit, but I've added a couple things to make it more complete (e.g. settings menu) and written a simple implementation…

Headless Pi Synth
June 10, 2020, 4:59 p.m.I've put together a headless implementation of FluidPatcher that works on a Raspberry Pi without the need for any extras (i.e. buttons/screens) by polling for specific CC messages to change…
