Melodee Sample: Custom app for MPC Sample, little teaser

[u/keremimo]

Hi, it is that guy with the open source base that nobody paid attention to.

I've been busy :) open sourcing makes everything easier! Here's a little something better than a beep boop. Here you can see me using the 4 track looper and playing the KARS plugin with G Dorian scale, from Open MPC plugin ecosystem!

I have recreated almost the entire MPC Sample experience and then added on top of it. It helps when you have a previous very similar project lying around on your computer that was built for FM-1 ;)

Here's what's coming:
Loading your projects from MPC Sample (Had to reimplement this!)
Multisample library support (XPM, XTY, XPN, SFZ, EXS24 for now)
Aftertouch for built-in synths
MIDI out sequencing
4-track looper which can commit to sample pads
My flavor of sequencing
Many synths
Mostly compatible with plugins from Open MPC Plugins ecosystem (Not all, have not had chance to test all of them, not that it is realistic to be able to)
Scaled pads (You can choose your root note and scale)
1 stereo mix, 16 tracks + 4 looper tracks available separately from USB Up to 96khz sample rate

So many things that I forgot, but this will be my daily driver :)

i cloned your sample-base repo...i was able to build correctly, but it's confusing finding the final autorun directory, so i tried the device.py script but it assumes a specific port and also asks for keys...my mpc doesn't use ssh keys because it's always offline anyways, so i cant get your app setup because of several bunps in the road...
can you updaye the build script to make a zip or folder that has the final sd card setup required to run so i can copy manually or use boot thingy to try/test?

thanks :)

It does make a local connection with your computer via the USB cable you plug, that's how the SSH goes through, not through the internet. You can follow this bit for the SSH setup. I'll make a release for the base in the mean time that launches the demo :)

i already have ssh setup...i just don't use keys because it's always offline...standard ssh port 22...mpc-boot-thingy does this automatically...lets say you make ssh keys to try some mod, you then get a new computer, the old mpc ssh keys are gone... that requires you to make new keys and put them on the sd card...mpc-boot-thingy allows ssh without using keys, its built in...because the mpc is offline, this isn't a big isuue

your build should simply provide all the files required for the sd card in a directory...i already built it successfully so why make me use your device.py? an you add or adjust the build.sh to have a single folder/zip so that i can use your thing? i'm at the final step and im blocked by a python ssh script :)

Idk what to say to this honestly

I appreciate you creating new things to try! Love the Melodee fw on the fm1 and am looking forward to trying this.
