Sigh. That explains the lack of response, I suppose?

After tireless beta testing by my in house team (which involved a thorough check, by me, to ensure that numbers did indeed come out of the outlets), I'm ready to release Crikey 1.0. The name being a tribute to our late great friend Steve, Crikey is hopefully a solution to Pd's lack of MaxMSPish virtual keyboards.
It also allows mouse-clicked key-doodling (though this is just a hack of slider rather than any HID magic). Because of said hack, there seems to be an issue with the black keys not registering clicks. Anyone know what's going on here? (the clicks seem to go right through to the white keys below; the black keys work fine when isolated)
To be implemented:
- Keyboard-to-virtual-keyboard map saving - currently the keyboard
must be programmed manually each time. I just ran out of energy here, and I'm also unsure if HID will output the same "KEY_##" messages on each platform. Hans can answer that I assume?
- An expandable keyboard based on the configurable GOPing stuff that's
been recently posted. This will probably take a while.
- I'm also going to merge the Velocity and Duration sliders following
Frank's example (switching based on mouse or keyboard input), which will make room for the octave selector up top. Again, ran out of energy.
But it should be quite usable now in spite of those things.
So, as I said, hopefully my kludges can be pointed out and improvements can be made!
As a sidenote, I assume you've all seen this video by now: http://www.studioimaginaire.com/nat/maxtoolbox/box2.mov (via http://nat.imeem.com/blogs/areO4MEW)
As you'll see browsing through Crikey, this would have been terribly, terribly helpful in obviating the tedium of object-connection! :) I know DesireData has vastly improved keyboard navigation/wire-connectin', but not quite everything that MaxToolbox does. Matheiu, is the rest of it somewhat easily doable for DesireData (such as one to many connections, left-to-right mapping, etc.)?
Ok, I'm leaving now! To much brain activated by all that patching, sorry : ).
(oh yes, you'll need pd>39, zexy and of course hid)

I don't know what you're talking about. Was there a technical problem when sending the original email? Anyway, I don't read all of the mails on pd-list, and I usually don't search for emails mentioning my name ;)
Also, a bunch of people are currently busy because of the Piksel conference in Bergen, Norway.

yes, when it works, but somehow we broke it again and forgot to fix it. I'll fix it today, especially because we're making a one-hour presentation on DesireData tomorrow :)

MaxToolbox doesn't have all the keyboard features that DesireData has either.

Yes, but not this month, because I have too many exhibitions, and maybe not even this year, because DesireData will need a lot of bugfixes and optimisations. I need to be able to definitely switch to DesireData as soon as possible.
Why don't you learn Tcl and help us doing this? Tcl is an easy language to learn.

Hello List,
Pd 0.40 come with the "declare"object which is very usefull... it works very well on Mac OS X 10.4 but i didn't succeed to use it with OS X 10.3.9 ! Pd don't try to open files in the specified path in the "declare object". Even it open them when i use the old way (Pd --> Path --> specified Directories)
Is it normal?
Thank you
Romain V

I had forgotten to include the patch that the preceding essay was so proudly releasing : ).

I've begun gathering materials to do this. I'd love to help - any favorite Tcl documents?
To all, regarding Crikey: I'm not sure if anyone saw the original post, but I just finished 1.5 with most of the improvements I planned. I'll start a new topic to release it, and hopefully not forget to include the patch this time : ).
