Web-tool for viewing the program-sample relations

[gkilsti]

Hi all Wave lovers!

I've been waiting for an update of the Nord Sound Manager for a looong time now, and it's finally here.
The new version shows which samples are used by which programs, BUT it does NOT support our beloved Nord Wave!
I'm VERY disappointed, Clavia!!! How hard can it be??
I put together a web tool doing the same thing in a couple of days, and I even had to reverse-engineer the NWP format.

Meet your new best fiend http://mynordwave.com

This page gives you several different views of your program-sample relations.
You can even sort the samples by how many times they are used, to easily find the ones that are only used once or twice.
The tool does not know anything about the samples themselves, only the relations to the sample slot/number.
The sample information is not contained in the NWP file, only reference to a sample slot/number.

Have a look at the demo, using the factory preset bank, to see how it works.

And please let me know what you think about it

Best Regards, Geir, Norway.

Will you be adding more functionality? I already reverse engineered quite a bit of the format and information about that is available in this section of the forum. I never could get myself to make something user-friendly though :-p

Maybe, if something interesting comes up.
Anything specific you're thinking about?

Creation of program/patch lists has been on my mind...for use in Cubase, Sonar or similar.

A patch viewer?

Stuff like this could easily be presented in a more appealing and user friendly fashion:

Yeah, that could be interesting.
What language did you program this in?
If you could send me the source code I could try to make a nice web layout of a patch.

C.

You can find the source here: http://www.norduserforum.com/nord-wave- ... tml#p12921

I started writing a document containing the stuff I found and roughly 70% of it is finished. I can't seem to find it on the forum, though I'm pretty sure I posted it before. I've attached it to this post too.

If you're interested in doing something with this, let me know if I can do something to help you. I don't know what you're using for server-side development, but it shouldn't be to hard to convert my stuff to PHP or Java, for example.

P.s. I never had time to figure out the complete format, as I sold my Wave and lost access to it.
