These are just some basic Python tools I wrote (with my limited Python knowledge) to make Nuked-SC55 easier to use. Bundled Windows EXEs can be found on the Releases page for those who don't want to install Python and/or the required modules.
Currently there are 2 tools:
- nuked-port-selector
- nuked-expansion-selector
This program displays all of the MIDI input ports available on your PC, and then launches Nuked-SC55 with the port that you select.
The program requires Mido's RtMidi backend to be installed for fetching the MIDI input ports.
pip install mido[ports-rtmidi]
It also requires Tabulate to be installed for drawing the table in the command line.
pip install tabulate
Simply place the program in the same folder as Nuked-SC55 and launch it using Python (or, if you're using the bundled EXE version, just run the executable).
python nuked-port-selector.py
Any command line arguments you give to the program will be passed to Nuked-SC55. For example, if you wanted to launch Nuked-SC55 in JV-880 mode, you would run this:
python nuked-port-selector.py -jv880
The program can be configured further by creating an INI file named nuked-port-selector.ini in the same folder as the program.
[settings]
executable_path = path/filename.exe
arguments = -argumentexecutable_path- Sets the path (fixed or relative) to the executable. Defaults to 'nuked-sc55'.arguments- Sets command line arguments that will always be passed with the program. Defaults to nothing.
This program allows you to quickly replace jv880_waverom_expansion.bin with another .bin file of your choosing, making switching between SR-JV80 expansion boards more convenient.
The program looks for a folder named 'expansions' in the Nuked-SC55 folder and displays all .bin files within that folder. Then, once you select a .bin file, it moves that .bin file to your Nuked-SC55 folder and renames it to 'jv880_waverom_expansion.bin'.
The program requires Tabulate to be installed for drawing the table in the command line.
pip install tabulate
Simply place the program in the same folder as Nuked-SC55 and launch it using Python (or, if you're using the bundled EXE version, just run the executable).
python nuked-expansion-selector.py
The program can be configured further by creating an INI file named nuked-expansion-selector.ini in the same folder as the program.
[settings]
expansions_folder = path\to\folder
bin_filename = filename.binexpansions_folder- Sets the path (fixed or relative) to the folder containing the .bin files. Defaults to 'expansions'.bin_filename- Sets the name of the BIN file the program creates. Defaults to 'jv880_waverom_expansion.bin'. You probably won't need to change this unless you've changed the name of the .bin file in Nuked-SC55's code.
