Klopfgeist made simple

Is it me, or do you think that the implementation of such a simple feature as a Metronome is unnecessary confusing in Logic?
I posted the following notes on Apple's Feedback page regarding my suggestions to simplify the Metronome feature in Logic. If you agree with me, please send your own note to Apple or copy/paste my suggestions below, to put a little bit more weight behind it. I know this might not be high on the priority list for many, but it is part of the clean up and simplification process Logic desperately needs on its way to become the "perfect app" that we all want it to be.
You can check out my "Photoshop'ed" version of the Metronome Settings page from the following link:
http://homepage.mac.com/edgarrothermich/.Public/Screenshots/MetronomeProposal.jp g
Here are my thoughts:
First of all, get rid of the "MIDI Metronome Click" Object in the Environment. The current implementation of the Object and its Object Parameters are overlapping with the Metronome Settings in the Song Settings page in a very inconsinsten way. The option to have or have not the Click Object is only confusing.
The concept of a Metronome click is (and should be) very simple:
1) The Sequencer (Transport Panel) provides a button to turn on/off the Metronome click
2) The Metronome Setting page provides controls to determine where the click is send to and the way it "clicks"
The Layout of the Settings page should provide a clear picture about what controls are affecting what:
1) The Metronome can be send to three destinations:
1a) External MIDI: This sends the click to a external MIDI module connected to the MIDI Interface
1b) Audio Instrument 128 (Klopfgeist): This is where the current system gets confusing. Klopfgeist is just the Audio Instrument "Klopfgeist" loaded into the last Audio Instrument channel 128. You can, and a lot of users do, load an EXS Instrument with their own click sounds. So just lets call this destination what it is "Audio Instrument 128". Klopfgeist can still be loaded as a default.
1c) System Audio: I would label this destination not "Built-in speaker", because the click is sent actually to the System Audio and follows the setting of the "System Preferences > Sound > Output"
2) The settings for each click destination are laid out in 3 columns with similar controls positioned on the same row to make it really clear what settings affect what destination. I'm not sure if you can change system preferences from inside an application, so I listed the output destination of the System Audio as a Read-only setting.
3) The current slider for the "Tonality" affects only the Klopfgeist plug-in on channel 128. If you use any other plug-in, then the slider has no affect.

As far as Adobe Animate (Edge) implementation, follow the steps in this link and you should be good to go.
Note that you can update your Animate files via Muse as well.

Have some doubt regarding the weblog (Lookup's in XI made simpler)

Hi All,
I have created the same scenario as mentioned in Siva's weblog (Lookup's in XI made simpler).
I having some doubts regarding the scenario, it will be great if you help me to resolve the same.
I am having a file-file scenario where I need to do lookup in database(MS-Access) through mapping.
The standard file-file scenario is in place and in addition I have created a receiver jdbc channel . I have also created the receiver agreement for the same in the cofiguration.
While creating the receiver agreement you have to specify the interface name which includes the message typeI have specified the normal format which we specify while configuring the jdbc receiver adapter.
In the message mapping I have created a advance user defined function as mentioned in your weblog which calls my receiver jdbc channel.
I have also specified the select query to be executed in the mapping program.
While testing I am getting the following error
Cannot produce target element /ns0:Role_MT/URole. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd
<b>Can you please suggest me what all I need to do in addition to the file-file scenario for this lookup scenario to work.</b>
Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Hi,
Following is my user defined function
//write your code here
String Query = "";
Channel channel = null;
DataBaseAccessor accessor = null;
DataBaseResult resultSet = null;
Query = "Select URole from Lookup where UName = ' " + UName[0] + " ' and UPassword = ' " + Pwd[0] +" ' ";
try{
channel = LookupService.getChannel("DB_service","JDBC_channel_receiver");
accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
resultSet = accessor.execute(Query);
for(Iterator rows = resultSet.getRows();rows.hasNext();){
Map rowMap = (Map)rows.next();
result.addValue((String)rowMap.get("URole"));
catch(Exception ex){
result.addValue(ex.getMessage());
finally{
try{
if (accessor!= null) accessor.close();
catch(Exception ex){
result.addValue(ex.getMessage());
Thanks and Regards

I have the same problem, when I delete row and after that I use refresh button in internet explorer. What I do is I drag and drop button "removeEntity" and edit it in backing beans adding new bindigs that commit changes and referesh page. Code:
public String commandButton2_action1() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding =
bindings.getOperationBinding("removeEntity");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
OperationBinding commit1 = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
commit1.execute();
OperationBinding requery = bindings.getOperationBinding("findAllRezerwacja1");
requery.execute();
return null;
In page definition I added "Commit" action and code with methodAction is:
<methodAction id="removeEntity" InstanceName="SessionEJBLocal.dataProvider"
DataControl="SessionEJBLocal" MethodName="removeEntity"
RequiresUpdateModel="true" Action="999">
<NamedData NDName="entity"
NDValue="${bindings.findAllRezerwacja2.currentRow.dataProvider}"
NDType="java.lang.Object"/>
</methodAction>
<action id="Commit" IterBinding="findAllRezerwacja1Iter"
InstanceName="SessionEJBLocal.dataProvider"
DataControl="SessionEJBLocal" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
Action="2"/>
Can sb tell is there is normal that when I delete row in table, and after it I refresh manually by IE page is normal that I get error messages. I this is the same situation using Back in IE. Deleting row that is commited to database works fine, but the problem is with manually refreshing page?
Next question is about using Delete action from node instead of removeEntity, what is the difference? As you can see, I use removeEntitity method. Choosing Delete action instead doesnt works. Why? Rest of the code is the same but instead of dropping method removeEntity I drop Delete action
Sorry for my English, its not my native.
Thank in advance

Learning blender: Made simple Arch Linux wallpaper

Hi,
a few days ago I started to learn blender and I made a very simple wallpaper:
I guess there are lots of similar wallpapers around but I wanted to show mine off anyway
Hope you like it

Thanks for the tip, but I was thinking about making the shadow less overpowering at the beginning, but decided to let it this way, you will notice, that the shadow is centered and the actual logo is a bit off. That gives balance while moving the motive away from the center. I learned that images most of the time look more interesting when the motive is not exactly centered.
Maybe I exaggerated the shadow a bit^^
About the light source: It's actually above the logo, what you see at the bottom is the reflection on the ground. Seems it's not placed very well.
From your post it seems to me you think I did draw this, but this is a 3d model.

ABAP Mapping - Can it be made simple?

Hey mates,
I'm looking at the ABAP mapping option for transforming source format to target format. I see that we need to have class implementing IF_MAPPING and implement the method EXECUTE and then parse the source message, process it and render the target message. And, here I dont have the data in the form of an internal table which is easy for processing..rather I've to use methods like "get_elements_by_tag_name", "get_item ( index = x)" etc.
Why cant SAP make it simple...in the sense.. similar to the way inbound & outbound proxies are handled?
In inbound proxies, I dont have to worry about parsing the incoming message...I readily have it in data dictionary structures and table types.
In outbound proxies, I dont need to bother about rendering the XML message, I can pass my data dictionary structures & internal tables the EXECUTE_(A)SYNCHRONOUS method.
Are there any disadvantage of this approach? What do u say folks?
thx in adv
praveen

Hi Praveen,
u ll get a stream in a abap mapping, not a deep structure like in proxys. U cant use proxy functionality 4 mapping, as proxys only can use XI protocoll, a abap mapping has more power. It is ur decision 2 use the DOM parser, it is not required. U can search and replace fields with easy string operations - if u like.

Udo

Can't remember how I made simple shining sun in Photoshop CS (see attachment)

About a year ago I made a shining sun effect in Adobe CS Photoshop. I started with a transparent layer, selected a round shape with the elliptical marquee tool and filled with yellow. I then blurred the edges by ???? Can anyone tell me how to get this effect? I only know that I could keep on "blurring" the edges as much or as little as I wanted to. I need to know because the sun attachment is too bright for the rest of the scene and needs to be toned down. Please explain as if talking to a beginner - that's what I am. Thanks in advance.

Another, more sophisticated way to do it, and which will allow you to adjust the blur in either direction would be to add the sun as a vector mask by using the Ellipse Tool, then adjusting Feather to taste in the MASKS panel.
1. Choose a sky blue foreground color, then create your sky blue background e.g., by using the Paint Bucket Tool.
2. Choose a yellow foreground color, and activate the Ellipse Tool in the toolbox. Make sure Shape Layers is selected in the options area in the Photoshop main window.
3. Draw your sun, holding down the shift key to keep the ellipse a perfect circle.
4. Make the MASKS panel visible via Window - Masks.
5. Dial in the Feather that you like for softening the edges.

Blog Updating made simple?

Good afternoon! I am a newbie to web publishing and want to know how I should go about updating blog enteries in the most efficient way with iWeb. I am publishing my site to a folder on my desktop for uploading to my server using CyberDuck.
Do I have to re-publish the whole "blog" folder or bits of it? And if I publish bits of it, say one entry html and its associated file, is my archive and pictures going to be all screwed up? And finally, why does a site update simply at .mac (with all of the links and buttons the right color and whatnot) while the same info to the folder results in inconsistent results? Am I doing something wrong during the publish process?
For a quick example of this, please go to my blog sites and see the subtle differences. Note - my .mac account will close in 48 hours from this posting (06 Oct 2006).

Thanks for your patience. Rob

Rob...
Since you are going to be uploading your files to your own server, you will have to use iWeb's "Publish to Folder" option which does indeed publish the whole site everytime. With most FTP programs there is no choice but to upload the whole site each time to your server as well. This seems prohibitive, to say the least.
I have heard good things about an alternative FTP program called "CaptainFTP". This program has a built in synchronization feature that allows you to have to upload just the changed files to your server. I believe that you have to tell it to ignore file dates for this to work with iWeb's "Publish to Folder". You can find more info about the program here... http://captainftp.xdsnet.de/
Here also is a tipsheet from Tom Gewecke on hosting your iWeb pages at non-.Mac servers...
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebserver.html
PS. Both URLs look to have identical content to me. So you are uploading correctly. I would not recommend uploading things piecemeal by hand if you can avoid it.

CMS Made Simple Integration

I am a slight noob, and I cant seem to get this right, i need to have some scrolling text on various parts of a site and an image/ text slider for a company I'm working with.
I am having trouble with the following when putting in multiple edge documents, even while mocking up via muse:
everything shows up in random places
I have no real clear instruction on where to put my edge html
should I edit my pages html directly in edge?
I'm trying that but any other solutions would be greatly appreciated!

ColdFusion development made simple

Hi,
I'm looking for an IDE that will allow me to setup a Database connector and, thereby, allow me to point to a Table within that Database and generate a basic ColdFusion CRUD form on the Table. Ideally, the IDE would allow me to drag-n-drop fields about the page to speed development. You know, the usual stuff...generate a List page with basic Search critera and allow the User to drill-down to and Add/Edit page. Naturally, the List page should support pagination. Naturally, the form generation should support field lookups and Master/Detail relations. Anyhow, these are vanilla requirements that have been around for years so I'm sure the tools are around to do this with ColdFusion...I am just wanting to hear your recommendations on which to try first and which are free!
For example, I have downloaded Eclipse CF Builder and it does NOT provide any of this...plus it is not free, rather it supports the manual coding process which is very tedious regardless of how many builtin tags exist.
Many Regards,
J

Because that is the way you want to configure your shop. And

there are dishonest people out there.
Allaire nee Macromedia nee Adobe: You have only one license
for
ColdFusion why are your running 13 web serviers.
Dishonest Citizen: Oh only that one is 'production' those
other 12 are
our 'centralized development' servers.
I.E. if it was not locked down it would be circumvented.
I think you are over estimating how difficult it is for each
developer
to have their own CF server. You don't have to give up your
other
centralized features.
Each developer CF server can easily connect to the one remote
database
server. Creating and sharing DSN configurations are not hard
manually,
sharing the dsn xml files and or creating CAR archives and
installing on
each machine.
Each developer CF serve can use a centralized file server as
the web
root|source directory so the code is actually centralized
though it
might be executed by 4 different servers at any given time.
IIS can also be configured remotely if you would like
everybody to use a
common web server which could also be the common file server.
But this
would be a bit weird and unusual. But it is technically
possible. You
would just need to use ports or host headers to create a
differnt IIS
website for each developer that connects remotely to their
development
CF server.
I really don't recommend that last suggestion but it is
there.
P.S. The developer version of CF is restricted to two IP
addresses and
th local host..... wink wink nudge nudge.

Boring task made simple PLEASE

Hi Guys
I have a big site refresh I am working on, the site used to
be dynamic but the CMS went wrong so I am solving the situation by
making the pages static. Each of the pages has a link on it to a
quick quote page that used to populate a form like ie
../../printsample.php?id=396 and I want to make all the links now
just be ../../printsample.php. My question is, is there a way I can
automatically change all these links, the site is 1700 pages so
changing all the links manually is taking some time. Thanks in
advance for any help.
Cheers

They are sending packets but not receiving - I'm either THAT CLOSE !!, THAT CRAP or the software is not working, HELP !!!
If MSI want to sell this product don't do this, I'm always drunk when I use my PC and can not deal with problems like this.

I don't think that's an MSI problem. Are you using XP Home or Pro? Are you connecting directly, computer to computer, or through a router? If directly, I think you need a crossover cable. As I recall anyways. Not positive.
I'm almost always drunk when I use mine too!

How to make it simple on my complex program

hi all, i create a program for my machine, its need 4 device that support rs-485 communication for 1 machine. i make a complex program for this project, my program now just for 1 machine, but for future i`ll make it for 12 machine (4 x 12 machine = 48 device) its will be 12x complex program, i want to make its a simple program by use subVI, the different for every machine is just on peripheral number of device (Serial Parameter)
please help me how to made simple program by subVI, i try subVI on while loop its over than 28 connector, any idea ?
i hope you understand what i mean. thanks~

I would recommend to start learning LabVIEW a bit more. You should be able to build something which is scaleable.
The question is not only about subVI usage, but many other things. For example you should learn how to create and program a state machine. Also, how to choose the right framework for your actual task.
You can find tutorials here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40451
If you have access to the Core1-2-3 online learning material, you could go through these...
For your actual project:
I think you should first create your own "driver" for your machine(s). Learn about Action Engines (AE), and you will see how to create an AE subVI which can perform the following actions on your machines: "Initialize", "Read data", "Close resources", etc...The actual structure of the AE depends on several things, for example: do you need to init and use ALL the available machines with their 4 "ports" at the same time? Or you need to stop and re-initialize some of them during runtime? Etc...
You can read very useful things about AEs here:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Community-Nugget-4-08-2007-Action-Engines/td-p/503801
Also, it can be helpful to "Wrapping It Up" the AEs, see the above link...
After you have an appropriate AE-set, you can start to work on the "sceleton", the framework of your project. You have to choose which way you wanna go? Simple state machine? Producer consumer with Queues + using Event structure? etc .......
edit:
" i try subVI on while loop its over than 28 connector, any idea ?"
If I understand your problem here, then read about clusters. Specially about type definied clusters!

Check out this tutorial from Berkeley. You need to identify what output and inputs you want available outside the subVI. Then wire those outputs and inputs on the connector pane on the front panel.
