MD Machine Lab 1.1.1
MD Machine Lab allows you to create, tweak, and save individual machines (drum sounds) on your Mac more>>
MD Machine Lab provides a slick, easy-to-use interface, giving you complete control over your sonic design.
Main features:
- Randomize
- The randomize feature of MD Machine Lab gives you the ability to set machine parameters to random values. Additionally, you get to choose which parameters get randomized!
- Internationalized
- Speak a language other than English? No problem! MD Machine Lab supports many different languages, including French and German.
- Fast and Lightweight
- I developed MD Machine Lab on a 400 MHz iMac DV SE. While its not THE slowest machine out there, its still pretty freakin slow! Therefore, ensuring that my programs run as efficiently as possible is a top priority. MD Machine Lab is a Cocoa application, written entirely in Objective-C. Furthermore, its multi-threaded, and includes optimizations for both the G4 and the G5.
- Undo! Undo!
- Make a mistake? No worries: MD Machine Lab features unlimited levels of undo and redo! This means you can tweak all you want, without fear of losing a precious creation.

Music Machine 15 1.0
Music Machine 15 is created to be a handy tool which has two options for performance. more>>
Music Machine 15 1.0 is created to be a handy tool which has two options for performance. The first option (satiean) is to play Satie's piece Vexations as it was written, repeating the chord pattern 840 times. The second option (cagean) is based on Satie's Vexations but is also based on Cage's Cheap Imitation. This option will use the same rhythm as Satie's original and will also use the same chords (but not necessarily in the same order).
If the cagean option is chosen the machine will run indefinitely until stopped by the user. Please note the music machine is a stand alone application that will play music within parameters set by the composer not the user. Other music machines that offer some intervention by the user are available from the music machine website - follow the link from this page.

Machine Independent Bookmarks 1.0
Machine Independent Bookmarks - Use bookmarks from any pc more>>
MIB is a SIMBL plugin that seamlessly integrates a "Remote Bookmarks" menu into supported Cocoa browsers. Adding and managing bookmarks works much the same way as in Safari, except that any additions / modifications you make to your bookmark store are recorded to our servers. This provides MIB users with many advantages, the foremost of which are:
Where you go, they will follow - Your bookmarks are accessible anywhere you go. You can access your bookmarks from any machine with an active Internet connection that has an MIB client installed. Importing / exporting bookmarks from one computer, to another, to another, ad nauseum never has to happen again.
... even across multiple browsers - You can access your bookmarks from any browsers supported by MIB.. on the same computer.. on different computers.. its up to you.
... even if your hard drive goes away. - If you ever lost data, you may know how frustrating it is to.. um.. lose data. While your browser bookmarks may not be the first thing that springs to mind when youre intent on recovering files, you may rest assured that our servers are pretty stable, our data is backed up, and its fairly likely that your bookmark store will survive any hard drive failures on your end.

State Machine Compiler 6.0.0
Generates a State pattern in eleven programming languages more>> Generates a State pattern in eleven programming languages
SMC takes a state machine stored in a .sm file and generates a State pattern in eleven programming languages.
Includes: default transitions, transition args, transition guards, push/pop transitions and Entry/Exit actions.
Enter SMC - The State Machine Compiler. Now you put your state diagram in one file using an easy-to-understand language. SMC generates the state pattern classes for you. No more hand-maintained transition matrices.
No more widely scattered switch statements. Instead, the state diagram is in one place, coded directly from the picture to the SMC language and is easily maintained.
SMC uses the state pattern to its fullest extent. In the real world, events dont always happen when they should. Dealing with unexpected events is a must for a robust application.
By combining virtual methods with the state pattern, SMC allows you to define "Default" transitions - transitions which allow your objects to handle unexpected events, recover and continue providing service (rather than crashing, burning and getting you into trouble).
SMC is a Java application, which means SMC will work on any platform that comes with Java 1.5.0 support.
NOTE: State Machine Compiler is released under the Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL 1.1).
Enhancements
- Added support for PHP programming language (-php).
- Added support for Scala programming language (-scala).
- Jump transition added. Works the same as a simple transition.
- The TransitionUndefinedException was missing the transition
- name. The transition name is now placed into the exception.
- Correctly handles $ in transition arguments.
- Corrected statemap.h -I include path in C examples.
- Corrected C example 4 #if __GNUC__ condition.
- Corrected C example 6 #include.
- Corrected file names in TCL examples 4 and 5.
- Corrected examples "all" rule.
- Corrected #!/interpreter calls in scripts.
