NRuleSet Builder - a tool to create custom rules

[Erufailon]

Remember you will still only get to use 4x16 channels, so you should rather put in extra dxf articulations, but still use the KS patches as a base, as a complete Horn section for example without a master KS patch can easily eat up all the 16 channels of a midi port.

Attention! I found a nasty little bug which can remove rules that you don't intend to remove. When you click move rule up when you already have the 1st rule selected it deletes that rule. Also when you click move rule down when the last one is selected, it gets deleted. I'll fix this when I get the time, it shouldn't be that hard (and since it remained under the radar, I suppose not many ppl are affected by it:), but until then take care not to click down or up at the last or first rule (this can happen easily when you want to move a new rule to the top in a somewhat long list and you just click a lot fast, pay attention to the number of clicks).
It's extra nasty because it doesn't update the rulelist right away, so you don't even notice that your first or last rule is gone until you do something else to it that requires it to update.
And as always, make backups often.

Hi all, and a big roaring BUMP to this thread.

I am fetching my copy of N3 from the post office tomorrow, and this makes the process of incorporating the recorder consort I recently purchased into Notion much easier.

Just wanted to say.. Kudos for your hard work Erufailon. I do some simple programming myself, (mainly html and sfz), and I understand very well how much work and time you have put into this. Considering the fact that you have learned java to write it, AND have done it in your spare time, AND gives it to this community for free makes this a truly admirable effort.

Hey, thanks. So someone is using it.

So I've fixed the above mentioned bug.

This includes only the jar file and the source code for the only .java file that changed, so it's like a patch.
Anyhow, just replace the jar (though I'd keep a copy of the previous one as well in case this one introduces some problems).
There is one more unintended behavior, when you move the last rule down the selected rule becomes the first one. It would have taken a bit more work than I could put into it now to make it stay at the last one, but at least it doesn't delete anything now (I hope).

So I've run into a bit of a problem... Due to technical issues, I had to download the app to a different computer. I had the rule builder working on my original computer just fine, but now I can't seem to pull up the conditions. I can add and adjust expressions, instrument names, etc, but I can't add conditions. Thoughts anyone?

[Erufailon]

Does the dialog pop up, just empty? If so, u didn't place the expressionlist.tpk to the same directory as the jar (remember, copy, not move).

Edit: Nope, it's not that, they must have changed something in the expressionlist format. I didn't notice, as I'm not updating, following the don't fix it if it ain't broken route But I updated just for this, and unfortunately I can confirm it doesn't work with the latest expressionlist file. I'm looking into it.

[Erufailon]

So here it is, they just added a few new techniques that don't have a friendly name in the file. I added those manualy to the list before, but didn't implement a failsafe mechanism if it encounters one that has no friendly name, but is a valid technique, and it's not added manualy. Now I did, so those will show up in the list with their technique name. If u encounter them and have a friendly name, please let me know, I'll add them.

Sorry about this, I'm reluctant to update, because I have to put everything back the way it were when I do, so I don't notice if something changed that brakes this. I love Notions flexibility, too bad you have to dig in under the surface to find it.

Do the original readme instrustions apply to this latest version? I don't see any info in this zip file.

[Erufailon]

Yeah, these are just like patches, no big changes, just some small bugs ironed out, but it works the same. This one was just 1 line of code added, but it took 2 hours to find what the problem was, mostly because I had to kinda figure out how the whole thing works since I haven't touched it for a while and forgot most of the logic behind it I also only include the source for the file(s) that have changed, the rest is the same. And the about box states that the original readme and license stuff apply.
