Hi Thomas, Mac version: the file behaves like a text file, and with the proporties I just can choose: Open this file with app. And how can I run it with: ./underbridge_mac? Thank you so much for your time....

Hi Thomas! As I told you on YT, this is awsome. You gave my OPz a new life. I have some ideas, maybe they are not possible, and probably you already thought about them, but anyway.

1. It would be great if there was a boolean selector (checkbox) for each of the the 10 Programs so it would bounce the selected programs at once. And maybe add a numeric input under each checkbox to indicate the number of patterns in each one. More automated process of the bounce.
2. I don't know if this is possible, but recording the channels 9 and 10 (FX channels) would be dope, for recording FX returns. And maybe the Tape channel and the Module channel too, now that module has line input with the new ZM4 module. As I said, not quite sure if this is doable. Now bugs My system specs are the following: Threadripper x1950, 64gb of ram, Windows 11 latest update 2022.3 I've encounter that the app stops working after the first pattern is recorded. Got you some screenshots. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/31211802/161423010-392c9af1-c86d-46df-946d-97830980cf24.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/31211802/161423022-88c7e565-463f-47a4-bc6e-289d5b73a66a.png This error happens everytime that it finishes the pattern that is recording. Both in pattern mode and in Program mode. To mitigate I have to close the app and reestart it again. BTW I'm using your released windows binary (.exe) Thank you and cheers! Keep the good work going!

I am looking around the code and try to clean it a bit. I came across getBPM function but I do not fulle get it. From what I see it blocks the midi port for later use - am I right with that (I don't have any experience with midio module):

def getBPM():
    global op_device
    inport= mido.open_input(op_device)
    msg = inport.poll()

If it is so - why the additional step? Why not do that after user clicks "Record"?

When exporting wav file, the tail could be easily identified by setting proper loop markers. It would make easy to import loops in DAW and use tail for mixing (when loop finishes).

Shouldn't underbridge use CC 54 (audio mute) instead of CC 53 (midi mute). I don't see any negative consequences, but for the stems it would be beneficial to include all midi data (for instance transposition or punch-in effects). It would also make it possible to export individual stems for effect tracks and tape track.

Currently the add seconds feature, just keeps the loop going. But if the idea was to record the tails of the sounds, then the loop should be stopeed before recording the additional seconds.

For examle if i have a bussy lead line with long reverb and delay tails, I would want to preserve the tails of theese effects without the additional notes in the beggining of the lead pattern. This is especially important at the end of the song.

Is this project opensource? If yes, perhaps it should be stated, how it is licensed? I would gladly contribute, but there is no info regarding licensing.

That would be big one - if the option to select, which channels go into which stem. For instance one could select, wether want to record particular channel with effect, or want to have additional stem for effects. whether one want to combine drums to one stem or not

It is a good practice to use requirements.txt for python dependencies, so one could simply make pip install -r requirements.txt

to install all necessary libraries.

There is currently a problem that there is no input form the OP-Z available on windows. The only way this works, for example in Bitwig, is with asio4all.

Trying the ASio4All version of PyAduio now. That would mean one has to install asio4all as an additional dependency.

Hi!

As stated in the op-z manual,setting the track length multiplier to 9 makes the track 16 times longer. (https://teenage.engineering/guides/op-z/track) Currently it just records the first 9 bars.

Hello! This is an amazing little program that just doesn't seem to work for me. I am on mac. It works for some patterns, then others for some reason I get a "OPZ sequence error, please restart opz or press cancel" Is there a way to solve this? Like I said, its weird because it works sometimes.

You can add this into the "setSolo" method to make the OPZ change its display so that it reflects the track that is currently being recorded.

msg2 = mido.Message('control_change', control= 102, channel= 0, value= chn+1) self.outport.send(msg2)

I also have gotten the code working so that it will export all 8 tracks, up to 8 measures, separately for each pattern up to 16 patterns. I can send the code if you would like. It sort of makes a mess of things, but works for my purposes.
