hp->midi early report

One area in which I’ve been concerned with the question of optimization vs. elegance is in the hp->midi word (a ‘word’ is Forth parlance for function / procedure / subroutine). This word takes the hp_ values (with a range of -hp_range/2 to hp_range/2), which io’s cognitive innards generate, and translates them into legal MIDI control [...]

software optimization vs. elegance

When started writing what became io 0.0.1 beta in ’99, having thrown out a whole bunch of old material, I made an effort to write elegant code. This was partly because of the complexity of this project (which would end up in the region of 25,000 lines of code), but also a reaction to the [...]

source code 07-03-2004

For the record: source code for io 0.0.1 beta (rev. July 3rd 2004) [91kB zip file] and supporting components [198kB zip file]. Note that I have not differentiated components used by io and those that are not; I have included every file from the MyTools folder. Significant revisions since io 0.0.1 beta as detailed below.

schedule 0.0.1

Okay, let’s quickly revise the proposed timetable by shifting the start back by four months (i.e. to the present), deleting one of the breaks, repositioning the other, and see what we get. intermediate objectives (projected) initial design phase: january 2008– Software: design, preliminary implementation and testing of software components. Analog electronics: design and testing. alpha [...]

schedule 0.0.0

This is/was the timescale as proposed in the grant application. With the (then unforeseen) delays of the funding process, all this will need to be revised. intermediate objectives (projected) initial design phase: september 2007– Software: design, preliminary implementation and testing of software components. Analog electronics: design and testing. break: november 2007 alpha build: february 2008 [...]
