SFXEngine v1.31, EQ, Xmas Album and More

A manic, and magic time of busyness, partly because of a three day 'break' at a time when so many plates are spinning. Today, working on an update to SFXEngine. There were few visible changes, but I've fixed two small errors, and created some new sounds for customers of the Analogue VCF Sound Pack.

The biggest change, which took most of the day, was checking languages and replacing 90% of the text in the program with data read from an external file. This allows the creation of many files, and thus multi-language translation. This is a complex task. Lots of string processing is needed to assemble messages rather than simply print them, and there must be a back-up message in case something isn't found. Well, it's largely complete.

I'm also thinking that I'd like to restore the band-pass filter array for my EQ, and have had thoughts of a new transform for the frequency curve, but I'm unsure if such a thing is possible.

In other news, Tim has recorded the basics for his Christmas song, and mine is about 75% complete, and I hope to complete it before November to release it as a single.

The London pop-up exhibition I was set to take part in is evolving into something else.

There are 9 days to go until the grand release of We Robot too, and two publications are covering it. More is needed. More, more of everything!

Onwards we charge.
