rvlt Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 There seems to be an issue with OSX 10.6.8 Here's what I get when I start the program: ms244_error.rtf
TK. Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Posted April 6, 2013 @Ilmenator: this is unrelated to MIOS Studio and has to be fixed in the MIDIbox NG application (output string too long) /update: fixed this, the error shouldn't appear in the next MBNG release! @rvlt: as mentioned at the MIOS Studio page, the app is built for 10.7 and 10.8 (not for 10.6) However, meanwhile I was able to install an older Xcode version, which allows to build for 10.5 upwards Could you please try the new build? (same link, the old app has been replaced) Best Regards, Thorsten.
rvlt Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 Ah, ok, I just looked at the download link which still says it's for 10.6-10.8 Will try the new version later. Thank you!
TK. Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 MIOS Studio 2.4.5 is available now Changes: support for command line parameters (see documentation at the MIOS Studio page) MIOS Filebrowser now sorts the directory Best Regards, Thorsten.
Duggle Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 The command line parameters are fantastic, they really allow a streamlined workflow when doing intensive NG configurations. Also allows to customise "instances" of MIOS Studio (store the parameters in a shortcut itself, or a batch file) so that MIOS Studio can do different jobs without constantly re-configuring it through the GUI. Highly recommended! :phone:
Duggle Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 I've just bought a Mac Mini to replace the Windows XP laptop I use with my Synth rig. The XP MIDI USB driver nightmare has forced this. I'm new to mac but what is the best way to make a shortcut (alias) to MIOS Studio that has command line arguments?
TK. Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 It's described here: http://www.ucapps.de/mios_studio.html Special note to MacOS users: the binary, which has to be called to pass parameters, is located under MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio In order to simplify the access to the binary, just create following aliases (it's assumed, that MIOS Studio has been copied to the /Applications folder): alias ms='/Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio' alias ms_batch='/Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio --batch' By entering these aliases into your ~/.bash_profile, they will be available whenever a new terminal is opened. Of course, you could create additional aliases with different arguments. Best Regards, Thorsten.
Duggle Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks TK that wasn't too hard for me! Sorry about the Mac Noob questions, but this opens MS from a terminal window but I can't open another terminal in order to have another instance of MS. I tried: alias ms='open -n /Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio' from a web hint but it doesn't spawn a new terminal? [edit] nope, it's working o.k. Opening 2 instances of MS results in 3 terminal windows though. Would be nice to do this a bit cleaner. Edited May 14, 2013 by Duggle
TK. Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Posted May 15, 2013 Why are you using "open"? This is a different approach. If you want to spawn without opening a terminal, then add a '&' to the command (normal unix approach) Usually this is not written into an alias, so write: ms & with the initially proposed alias: alias ms='/Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio' (without "open") Best Regards, Thorsten.
Duggle Posted May 15, 2013 Report Posted May 15, 2013 Great, then there is a way of launching "ms &" from a desktop icon (without opening a terminal and typing it)?
TK. Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Posted May 18, 2013 You could try Platypus for this purpose: http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus Best Regards, Thorsten.
TK. Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Posted October 21, 2013 MIOS Studio 2.4.6 is available now Changes: allow upload when core based MIDI merger enabled abort upload after 16 retries if the MIDI IN connection of a PIC is not working (no additional retries) Best Regards, Thorsten.
Duggle Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I've just started using Raspberry Pi and am wondering how feasible it is to compile MIOS Studio for this platform? Of course it would need a serial port driver to work with the Pi's built in UART. It would work with Hairless Midi Serial Bridge (which works great with MIOS Studio, btw) but there's the same issue: it needs to be built for the ARM platform and has various dependencies that make the prospect of a successful build seem a bit daunting. I'm not that experienced with Linux so I thought I'd ask for advice.

Duggle Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I might buy the win32 RPi cross compiler pre built ($10) and see if it works: here edit: The midi bridge is not required. TTYMIDI is an ALSA midi driver for the RPi UART: here Edited March 9, 2014 by Duggle

TTYMIDI is an ALSA midi driver for the RPi UART: here You could do that. Beware that it runs under CygWin. So you still have to do linux commands. Might be cheaper and more flexible to make a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04. There are a lot of tutorials available.
Duggle Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Are you suggesting I use a virtual machine in windows to install Ubantu 12.04 and then use it to cross compile MIOS Studio to RPi?
niklasni1 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 That's probably a lot easier than getting Cygwin running. Installing Ubuntu's about as easy as installing Windows if your hardware is supported, which it will be in the VM.

Duggle Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks for the advice, guys, I'll look into this....
Duggle Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 I have a MIOS Studio feature request: BTW; the option switches used in command line invocation (I embed them in windows desktop shortcuts) are indispensable to me, they really improve life with MIOS Studio! Anyhow, my feature request is a "quiet mode" switch that suppresses non essential pop up dialogs such as "Rescan MIDI devices.....I have no idea/Understood" and "Batch job complete" etc. Such pop ups are definitely not helpful for an experienced user (who uses invocation option switches).
