Back to Change History

14-0712-2154

This is an initial release to get feedback. Note carefully that many things may change. One that must be highlighted is how preferences are handled. I have not yet written the custom handler I plan, so I am using the default JVM preferences system. On Windows, this uses the registry and MAY WELL FAIL unless you have the correct registry keys set up. This is an issue with the JVM itself. As this will be resolved at a later stage and because it is not that simple a fix, I am not going to supply details. If you are happy to find out what is needed using your favourite search engine, then please feel free to go ahead.

I am particularly looking for feedback from non-Windows users. I have a Windows machine and a Linux machine, so really it is just Mac users I need to hear from.

This version of the program includes a feature to check online for new versions. Whilst noting the comment above, I do recommend turning on this preference.

Current status

The program is stable - it does not generally crash all the time. If you can find a repeatable way to crash it, let me know, providing the console output. Most importantly, if you find a valid TrapKAT V3 or V4 sysex dump that it crashes on, please let me have the sysex dump with the console output from the program along.

The program is almost non-functional. It has the simple functions of converting between V3 and V4 implemented. You can import a global dump into an existing (or new) all memory dump. As selecting a kit is not yet supported, no kit dump functions yet work. None of the user input fields displays values from the dump.

Switching between V3 and V4 now updates some of the user interface to reflect the different facilities available. This is not yet completed and is needed before I can start properly "wiring up" the sysex data to the user interface.
