Importing and exporting with custom text formats #82
Conversation

Abount integrating this in the editor, I an not completely sure how I lay it out the best way. Another thing is that there exists already ctrl-c/ctrl-v as copy & paste, which currently copies instrument's binary data. |
|
What is implemented and working:
|
|
Next, I allowed to parse varying forms of PMD found... Also, writing name seems optional is the case of PMD. For me, the current state if fine to merge. |
|
Also @Wohlstand, the travis shows failure at the ftp upload step. |
|
That because your branch state lacks the script I have added in some moment, so, merging... |
|
Oh that's right, I didn't pay attention about this. Thanks |
context: Wohlstand#81 / Wohlstand#82 In FMP distribution from 199x, there was a default template bank definition file (`88NEIRO.TPI`) whose format was like this: ``` "Harpsichord '@ 0 AR DR SR RR SL TL KS ML DT '@ 31,12, 4,10, 1,32, 0,12, 0 '@ 31, 2, 4, 6,15,57, 3,15, 1 '@ 31,12, 4, 6, 0,30, 0, 1, 0 '@ 31, 5, 7, 7, 2, 0, 2, 3, 4 '@ 2,7 ``` On the other hand, this is what we see from "Copy to FMP": ``` '@ FA 0 '@ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 '@ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 '@ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 '@ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 '@ 0, 0 ``` There are some notable differences, but so far what I find annoying is that the last parameter (AM/DT2) was optional in the original format, while it was mandatory without this fix.

Hi, this shows a concept of using custom text formats for reading and writing.
It's not implemented yet in the editor, and only has VOPM as a format now.
In
createVopmFormat, it can be seen how to build a grammar for a format.The
Vals are to replace with the actual values of the instrument. To associate with values, it relies on MetaParameter, which has been given a setter function.The
Ints are just number fields which are ignored, and have defaults used for writing.While writing, the whitespace tokens are used for human-readable formatting.
During parsing, the whitespace tokens are always ignored.
