Thanks for explaining Paul - but without getting into too much detail, and at a really high level - why was that constraint initially imposed, and how'd you overcome it ? It sounds pretty hairy and complicated. You must be a programmer by trade.

Just to inform you all, the wiki is updated to version 1.01 which should have all the fixes. Just be sure to check the zip file is VSTiToMidi v101.zip and that the included text file has the appropriate Last Modified statement. My ISPs server caches files and sometimes it's possible to get an old version, although it's unlikely in this case.

Paul

I said it before, and I'll say it again; I appreciate your efforts. PGMusic should too. This adds a functionality that was sorely missing.

<!-- If it was me, I wouldn't charge for it either .. but I'd hope PGMusic took the hint, added the feature and gave credit where credit is due. -->

Yeah, that's the problem with working with multiple programming languages... After a while you forget which one you're using...

That, and remembering if you need semicolons at the end of the lines...

Sitting here remembering the young goprammer who thought he was commenting (and being facetious as well as using a bit of foul language concerning one of the bosses) - but somehow in his glee, forgot to place the semicolon to comment it out.

And it was right there during a printscreen execution.

The rest of us got a good laugh out of it, but the boss and the kid were gettin' kinda down and serious...

today's YOU DA MAN award goes to NOEL96 for...

- his relentlessly positive attitude and encouragement of others
- his willingness to share what he's learned with anyone who will listen
- his clear explanations of complicated topics, often accompanied by screen shots

at a time when the forum seems to be losing the social grace that Noel exhibits so abundantly, his good humor and value-adding forum participation serves as a model worthy of emulation.

You're a better man than I am Noel.. (but I'm watching from the sidelines and learning)

here, here. Congradulations Noel96, a well deserved award.

1+!

Great big Yes to Noel, most excellent member.

+1

++++1

Absolutely...Noel da Man!

Dear all,

Thank you for giving me a huge smile this morning! I really appreciate the sentiment, thoughts and all those +1s. I'm not quite sure that to say but I wanted you to know that I'm really grateful.

Best wishes,
Noel

FOR PAT MARR
Pat, just what kind of rubber-stamp did you get (you know what I mean!)???? It seems like it desperately needs some very serious "how to be a good rubber-stamp" training. When I read what it had done in the above post, I turned a very very bright red - sort of like a fire-engine with high gloss paint work. Luckily no-one was around. Your rubber-stamp really shouldn't be allowed to mislead people like it has done. I was lucky the Floyd gave me the heads up about this post so at least I could write this note and address your -'s mischief.

Kudos to Paul and Noel96,two excellent choices!



My Tunes

aaaaaand TODAY's "YOU DA MAN" award goes to...
(drum roll....)



for....



and also for...



what can I say, except...

I forgot about this thread until now, but in order to preserve the fabric of the universe, someone else needs to be "DA MANNED"


ANDREW's hard work, patience with all our whining, and diligence to track down and fix all forum bugs really, truly and uncontestably makes him DA MAN!

We appreciate all that you do!

PS: "YOU DA MAN"

Definitely! YOU DA MAN, ANDREW! I'm sorely tempted to let you out of the penalty box three years early. (Okay, the temptation has passed).

Paul Noel and Don great choices.

Just a thought, if this is a daily thing you might be running out of da mans/men pretty soon.

Later,

Hey Pat,

I have to say that giving Don your award was just great. I don't know of anyone more deserving on these forums. Life has led Don along paths that cross some mighty huge mountains. Always, though, he has maintained his dignity, his 'oirish' sense of humor and has personified the meaning of the phrase "positive outlook". He inspires all who meet him.

One doesn't come across too many people of Don's caliber in a lifetime.

Best regards,
Noel

+1 What Noel said!!!

This might be the BIGGEST +1 I have ever posted!

Later,

I can't speak for anybody else, but I can say with first hand knowledge that Don is an inspiration to me.

Hi Noel, Well deserved! You have been a huge help to me over the years. Regards from Scotland, Joe G.

Same here!

Don da Man!

A big +2 to all the +1s posted so far.

Don S.

Friends, I very humbly accept this honor while feeling like 20th runner-up amid a field of much more deserving contributors on these forums. I won't attempt to list them out of fear of missing someone. My memory leaks and Depends don't have nappies for that.

I subscribe to fellow Oklahoman Will Roger's philosophy on life when he said: "I've never met a man (person) that I didn't like!" Granted, some are far easier to like than others. I blame myself for that gap.

Some flatly refuse to be loved or liked. That burden is theirs totally and not mine to bear.

Crying makes my nose run like your proverbial "sap wagon" and I can't wipe myself. Quit already!

See why I love this place?

Don, crying happy tears is good for your heart and soul. Just get you a big box of tissue and have someone wipe the nose for you!!!

That's exactly what my nurse, Amy, called them, "happy tears". Since my stroke, that part of my brain that controls laughter and crying has been oxygen-starved. To ease concerns from visitors I have a pre-programmed explanation in my Dynavox assuring them that there are no emotions involved and that I am a very happy Irishman. The problem comes from my inability to wipe my nose. LOL.

Well, Don. You have my highest regards and well wishes. May you have an angel help you blow your nose and wipe it. Amy might just be that angel

Unfortunately, after a year of personal tragedies forced her to miss work, Amy was fired and a large part of my heart went with her. She was like a daughter to me and reciprocated my love. She recently (since her dismissal) chaperoned me to an important congregational function by walking beside my power-chair the seven blocks while lighting my way with her cellphone as a flashlight (Brit: torch). I could write a book about the countless things she did for me.

Management's attempt to appease her was to offer her permanent graveyard shift which would have meant that she would never see her new husband or three adorable adopted grandchildren. Of course she refused.

So sorry to hear about Amy Don, I know that you held her in the highest regards. I can only hope that you and her stay connected as each of you have gained so much by your relationship. It seems to me that nurses do so much and are appreciate so little these days....blessed are the caregivers.

Indeed! They deserve so much more recognition than they get.

I also am sorry to read about Amy, Don. But, I can't blame her for what she had to do. Family is always first, of course.

I would like to nominate Matt Finley for today's YOU DA PERSON Award. He's always ready to jump in to help. He has intimate knowledge of PG software and an in-depth knowledge of music in general. I would like him to be acknowledged for his eagerness to help others. He's a quiet gentleman who never toots his figurative horn but can wail with the best on his literal horn.

Matt, YOU DA PERSON!

I second the motion!
Thanks Matt, for all your input.

Sorry to hear about Amy but not to fret as I believe people with good kind hearts will always bounce back.

Regarding nurses, in general, they are right up their with the military in my heart and mind as to deserving the utmost respect for what they do . . . I LOVE THEM!

Later,

They may require four years of college to come out making about the same as they could by flipping burgers at Mickey D.

They are pooped on, peed on, puked on, bled on, sworn at, spit at, grabbed at, groped, chewed out, blamed, overworked, underpaid, miss meals and potty breaks to put us ahead of their own families, etc. Yet they are the very backbone of the medical profession worldwide.

Have you hugged a nurse today?

A nurse's anthem (sung to the tune of William Tell Overture):

"I am not allowed to blow the whistle, nor ring upon the bell; but let this damned train jump the tracks and see who catches hell."

(repeat ad infinitum)

Key: Pb

Nurses get paid pretty well in my neck of the woods, as well they should be.

Later,

Edited portion: Still I could not and most likely would not try to do their jobs.
