Recent releases


Changes: This release moves to using the portable RtMidi library for all MIDI access, which runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. It should now be a small step to get EWItool running on Mac OS X. A useful function to export a single patch to a .syx file has been added, which should aid patch sharing and interoperability with other programs; naturally, there is a complementary new function to send a .syx file to the EWI. There are many code cleanups and minor enhancements.


Changes: This release fixes a couple of significant bugs that crept into 0.4. Individual saving of patches into the EWI now works, as does saving entire patch sets.


Changes: This release features integration with an on-line EWI Patch Exchange, allowing sharing and storage of patches with other EWItool users. Other new features include patch merging and improved patch set printing.


Changes: EWItool is now available for both Linux and 32-bit Windows platforms. It now provides about half a dozen more patch parameters than the proprietary editors, and will now import most .bnk and .sqs files. There were also a number of bugfixes and usability enhancements.
