Ecce Vox Dei

Apr 22, 2008 23:08

Last weekend I mentioned to a few people that I'm working on a project called "Vox Dei" which turns English-transliterated Hebrew words into music according to Paul Foster Case's note correspondences. A very preliminary, not-ready-for-prime-time version is here.

I'm mostly putting this out there to see if it works for other people; you'll need ( Read more... )

Damn I'm very excited to utilize the working model ready for prime time!

Here are my boxes' specs:

OSX 10.4.11 Dual 500 PowerPC G4
1.56 GB SDRAM
Java upgraded to J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_13 and Java 1.4 to version 1.4.2_16.
Safari Version 3.1.1 (4525.18)

You'll definitely need at least 1.5x installed as the browser's JRE, and probably 1.6x.

well I went out and joined the apple developer community so i could get this. (took five minutes, and i understand there's a free black t shirt in it for me if i know where to give them my size)

Anyways, I've got a dual G4 mac, but the currently available Java 6 for MacOSX "can only be installed on a 64-bit capable Intel Mac"

SO if anyone has an intel mac.........

By the way, works great on my windows xp Dell (i already had it up to 1.6)

Worked for me. But, it only worked if I typed in ALL CAPS.

Cool, glad to hear it. The all-caps thing is because I reserve lowercase for the second character of Hebrew letters that become two characters in English, like tzaddi (Tz) and cheth (Ch). So for example "achad", aleph-cheth-daleth, would be typed as "AChD".

Thanks, I was coming back to report that certain words weren't working for me, and that would be why. Maybe this instruction should be typed on the page somewhere?

isomeme April 24 2008, 17:02:18 UTC

Oh, trust me, there will be full instructions when this thing is ready for prime time. The one out there now is an incredibly primitive proof-of-concept version, mostly intended to make sure it actually worked for people other than me.

Just as a footnote, Java 6 is not out for Mac OS X, except as a private beta. Apple hasn't revved Java past Java 5

isomeme April 23 2008, 17:09:36 UTC

Thanks. I need to figure out exactly what my dependencies are; I know I can take the bytecode back to Java 5 with a compile option, but I'm not sure about availability of the MIDI library I'm using. Stay tuned.

Awesome! fraterviao April 23 2008, 17:25:06 UTC

Won't be able to try it out here at work, but you know I'll be using this a bunch!

As usual, you rock!
