Oasys Librarian

This software is no longer available
My Librarian application has got to the point where I thought I would let it out into the wild. Hic sunt dracones - this is version 0.70, which means it's not a release version yet and I am presenting it for testing/feedback, rather than just enjoying it on my own

This is a Universal Binary for Mac OS 10.4.x, only tested on my G5 thus far, so if any IntelMac users are willing to give it a spin that would be most welcome. The application is a native Cocoa/Objective-C++ application, not Carbon so it won't run on Mac OS 9., sorry.
The application is simple to use. You just open one or more PCG files snagged from your Oasys and use the copy/paste options to move progs/combis/waveseqs/dkits between different banks or files. The drawer contains a list of banks in the PCG file, the contents of the bank selected in that list is shown in the main document window. The copy/paste function works with multiple items in the normal fashion. You can also rename items by double clicking their names. The application will not allow you to make mistakes like pasting HD-1 programs into an EXi program bank or WaveSeq bank, you'll find that if the contents of the clipboard are not compatible with the bank you've selected then the Paste command is disabled. If you find that the Paste button is unexpectedly disabled, hit the Info button and let me know what it says in there.
No dependency stuff is happening here, so if you move a program used by a combi, the combi will be broken.
When the MIDI spec is available I'll be adding the ability to audition progs via sysex ... I use that feature alot with my other stuff.
Thanks,
Daz.
p.s. the release version will be freeware.

THis is awesome. Dan, please release the MIDI specs and the OASYS SDK ASAP. The future looks so bright right now...
