An impassioned proponent of reason, rational self-interest, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism, she expressed her unique views in numerous works of fiction and non-fiction that have been brought together for the first time in this one-of-a-kind volume.Containing excerpts from all her novels--including Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, and We The Living--The Ayn Rand Reader is a perfect introduction for those who have never read Rand, and provides teachers with an excellent guide to the basics of her viewpoint.

Remember that sound dumping (receiving sounds from the Blofeld) works only ifyou own a Blofeld Keyboard or by connecting it via USB, since the Desktopversion doesn't have a MIDI out port.

What works

  • Sound dumping (single, bank or full).
  • Sound parameters send/receive for the current sound in 'Sound Mode EditBuffer', not for Multi Mode.
  • Virtual keyboard from the Editor window.
  • Global parameters send/receive (requires USB connection the Desktop version,since both input and output MIDI is required)
  • MIDI connections (through menu and dialog), remember connections

What doesn't work (yet)

  • Multi Mode editing

Future

Apart from completing what is in the What doesn't work section aboveand fixing the whole Editor window, I'll add:

  • Factory/User library, even with custom libraries (older versions, etc.)
  • MIDI input and mapping, to allow the use of an external control surface, alsousing a 'live mode': a simple MIDI interface for the control surface, withoutthe need to load presets or the whole editor window
  • sound template 'favorites' library
  • arpeggiator template library
  • Online shared sound presets
  • coffee maker

Known issues

Since I'm still in the middle of the development, a lot of (unexpected)things still happen.. Anyway.

  • Windows releases are still buggy
  • widgets in the Editor window are ugly on HiDPI screens
  • some scaled dials don't look very good
  • the whole Editor window layout is temporary and resizing is allowed. Thismeans that the controls can look ugly and in unexpected places
  • the Librarian doesn't know the current sound if you don't manually change itfrom the Blofeld, this means that if you manually send a sound dump from theBlofeld, it will not know what to do with it.If you want to edit a sound coming from the Blofeld, you have to select it bychanging at least 2 sounds from it (I suppose it's a firmware bug).
