I put together a creation myth/emergent system/musical instrument thing for the recent Super Friendship Club UNIVERSE pageant: A Song in the Void. I'm planning on making it a Giant Bear Tracks release, so you can expect to see it pop up there in the next couple of days.
In other news, I'm now on twitter: @NiallEM. So feel free to follow me. It'll probably be mostly announcements for things I've made.

So, as you've probably noticed, I've updated the site a bit, with a donate button and (if you scroll down) a news archives link. The donate button's an experiment really; while my day job is part time and fairly menial, I make enough to get by. I just thought I'd add it to try and gauge interest. Obviously it's entirely optional. If you're happy making a small donation towards the site's running costs/buying me a beer, that's great! If not, that's cool too. Everything currently on the site will remain free to download and use.

Hey! I made a game for Christmas, with donkeys, and Santas, and presents, and all sorts. Check it out.
The Last Pedalboard Update of 2011
10/12/2011
...because I absolutely don't have any time left to spend on it this year. This is mostly a bugfix release.
Stay tuned though; I've got a Christmas game in the works...

Turns out that last release wouldn't run on macs running OSX 10.5, so here's one that will. I also included a fix for the app getting into a deadlock when you try and switch patch via MIDI before it's finished loading the current one.
Will the Pedalboard updates ever stop?

I'm really going to have to stop with these relentless updates. I do have other stuff to do. This version has various fixes, support for MIDI program change messages and MMC, a global tempo for plugins which make use of it, shift-dragging to connect multiple pins at once, and a 'save as default file' option.

Following an extremely useful bug report from someone on KVR, I've just done another release (we're now up to 2.05) to fix various bugs/oddities.
14/11/2011
The main changes are support for custom colour schemes, the opportunity to set up inverted MIDI mappings, and a bunch of OSX fixes (also, application mappings actually save again).

I've just uploaded v2.03 of the Pedalboard. I've made quite a few changes, but the main ones are:
- Drag and drop loading of .pdl files, and plugin files (.dll, .vst, .component).
- Midi Input now accepts messages from all selected devices, not just the default one.
- Rudimentary OSC address learn functionality.
- Added an Audio Recorder component.

It was getting on my nerves a bit, so I took some time today to finally rewrite my ancient png2ico program. Despite its age I've been using it for every Windows app I make (as far as I know there isn't really an alternative out there), so I figured it was worth updating it to be a bit nicer all round.
This version uses JUCE instead of wxWidgets, and supports pngs up to 256x256, as well as drag and drop (which makes things much quicker). It's also a bit easier on the eyes.
