! BarsnPipes 1.3 for MOS 3.17 !
3. Februar 2023:
2. Update
Unfortunately, the February 2nd archive contained the wrong MIDI tools.
This caused BarsnPipes to hang when starting if no MIDI interface was connected.
2. Februar 2023:
1. Update
Thanks to the professional help of Frank Mariak and Antoine Dubourg,
I can provide the first update for download here.
Some serious bugs have been fixed, and some adjustments have been made to the MorphOS user interface.
As a result, the programme runs more stable on the various MOS systems and has become more user-friendly.
March 12, 2023:
New MIDI Tools Ver. 1.4 are available for download, enabling the operation of multiport USB MIDI interfaces.
Antoine Dubourg (alias tcheko) has thankfully enhanced camdusbmidi.class in a very short time.
It now manages without restriction the MIDI transmission with these multiport USB MIDI interfaces.
New features since version 1.2:
Import and export of MIDI-files (*.mid) was integrated into the main program.
The
10 different mouse pointers in the editor are now 32bit png pointers, like in the system.
For developers, the
Rules for Tools and the
SDK by Michael Rees have
been revised and recompiled as an extension of the same.
The documentation for the
Catalog translations is also available,
as well as the
Rules for Skins (designing custom interfaces).
... and more.
! BarsnPipes 1.0 for OS 4.1 FE !
BarsnPipes New
Due to increasing health problems I had to decide at the end of October 2009 to stop,
the further development of
BarsnPipes New
for all supported systems. At that time I thought that this would be the end of my programming activities.
But it is:
"Der Mensch denkt, und Gott lenkt!"
(Man thinks, and God guides) - is an old German proverb.
It came Corona and Lock-Down and very much free time. So I had the idea to update my "old" OS4-
computer(2006) to OS 4.1 FE (Final Edition).
After a few days and a lot of headaches I had finished the new system.
(I had not worked with this system for almost 10 years).
The whole development environment including CubicIDE and the SDK ver. 53.30 was soon ready.
So within a few weeks I could rebuild the complete BarsnPipes to the new OS 4.1 FE.
(edit, modify and compile).
This includes all tools and accessories which were under OS4.1 FE to bring to run.
For developers of Tools or Accesories I have updated and extended the "New Rules for Tools",
also because of some additional specifics, which have to be considered under OS 4.1 FE,
as well as the special development environment for Tools and Accesories by Michael Rees.
These enhance the "New Rules for Tools" by many ingenious functions,
and simplify the development of tools and accessories not unimportant.
The material for own catalog translations is also updated and provided.
Of course, the instructions for creating your own surface styles for BarsnPipes
could not be missing at the end.
So there is also a new version of the "Rules for Skins" available for download.
I have increased the version number of this new BarsnPipes release to 1.0.
I added OS 4.1 FE to indicate that this version is made especially for OS 4.1 FE,
among other things for its new memory management.
I have decided to this version "jump" because:
- has now reached a stage of development that justifies an official edition,
- I wanted to take the opportunity to give a special gift to the BarsnPipes
community once again.
This site is mainly made for
AMIGA-Users
.
** This software has only been tested thoroughly on AMIGA
computers, but other interested computer users are, of course,
welcome to browse.
All material, that you find on this page, is
FREEWARE.
But you have to pay attention in each case to the Copyrights.
The source-code for
Bars&Pipes Professional 2.5c
is available in the download section for all interested friends.
The source-code was being officially authorized for publication by Todor Fay (the master of Bars&Pipes) on 25. May 2001.
I want to give him a very big thank for this fantastic gift to the Bars&Pipes-community.
BarsnPipes1
The version developed further by myself is available in the
download section.
Like all other stuff here it is
Freeware.
New is:
- Screenmode options include resolution, depth (up to 256 colors) and size
- the most of the smaller windows and requesters are rewritten for the gadtools.library, which comes with the OS.
So most of the program functions have keyboard-shortcuts.
This makes the program easier to use.
- The programm is now localised - translated into all languages provided by the system
- And much more is done between. You may read the
history
to see what's new.
For volunteers, which want translate the program: there is in the download section, a package
"CatTrans.lha" with
all material, which will needed for such a translation (included the catalog-compiler, CComp, and a short guide). I would be very
pleased to see many different translations. If you have made a working translation, please send it to me (as an attachment to an
e-mail) and I will upload it to the download section.
Here is a
screenshot-picture(187kB) from the new BarsnPipes with a 32 color skin.
Here is a
screenshot-picture(310kB) from the new BarsnPipes with a 64 color skin (made from the MOS-version).
At the moment I am trying to port BarsnPipes to the new
PEGASOS/MorphOS
PowerPC - System.
For this reason, I'm not able to further develop ver.1.23 for some time. Thank you for your consideration.
This site gives explanation, guides and tips for:
I have made this site, because:
- there are very few sites in the internet, where you can get information about Bars&Pipes Professional,
- it makes sense by me, all, what I've made (and make) especially for Bars&Pipes give to the public at one place.
- It is good to share the experience I've collected in the past years as a help to other people.
My intention is, to give all to public for
free, without any thoughts of profit.
- I hope to get in touch by this way with other musicians or programmers, who also enjoy using Bars&Pipes.
This is really the best multimedia-MIDI-sequencer for creative musicians on AMIGA-computers
(not that many other MIDI-sequencers are bad programs...)
Like many other homepages, this page is never finished .... ;-)
It is possible, that somewhat looks new, if you come back to this site.
If a link don't work means this, that I'm not ready at this place.
Don't be surprised at the black background color in some pages. I have chosen it because of the pictures of Bars&Pipes.
Where there are links taking you to other internet-sites, I cannot be held liable by the content of those sites.
Especially disassociate me from such sites, which are are
- glorify violence.
- stoke up racial discrimination.
- rush people in any manner.
- have pornographical (especially child pornography) or blasphemous content.
In addition disassociate me from all attempts, to make people dependent from other people with psychological or religious tricks or methods.
