I wrote a macro to copy MIDI instrument names from a text file into an enumerated list in TcMenu. With this arrangement, I can switch instruments from the EWC_Soother and override an instrument.
The Bypass function was the simplest feature in TcMenu. It was a Boolean or on/off bit, and the documentation was clear about how to read and write it. I created a function to print a message each time I activated it in the menu, then turned it off.
I made placeholder code that recognized Bypass, Reset Defaults, and PANIC. I moved on to the instrument changes, which output an integer of 0-127. While testing, I realized that the code TcMenu implemented changed by 10x steps when I rotated the knob faster, you can see in the graph based on how steep (fast rotation) or shallow (slow rotation) the line became.
I designed the last chunks of the menu and ran a torture-test on the encoder where I made it change a variable from 0-5000. There were many blips, but when I turned carefully, they did not crop up.
We had a full group of five people talking about the movie adaptation of Wicked. The movie was adapted from a stage play, adapted from a book, and was an homage to an older movie based on a book series. We had a lively show and may have accidentally planned a heist.
Sarah and I visited the First Impressions music podcast to discuss the Wicked soundtrack. We had a lot of fun discussing the music and following half a dozen bunny trails.
The rest of the summary posts have been arranged by date.
