[ANN] Musical Artifacts - find presets, configs, sounds

[lfz]

A new version is out with even more data available via the API and some minor fixes. Here's the changelog https://diasporabr.com.br/posts/821302

[lfz]

Now the website has a favorite system, the little star icons next to the artifacts which logged in users can click on. An artifact will also have the number of times it was favorite show beside the icon (a la github star system). Also the API calls return this number as 'favorite_count' so developers can use it in their apps.

Nice site!

I tried adding some hydrogen drumkits with mixed results here
https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/133

Potential issues:

- File upload fails (archive was about 360Mbyte)
- At the bottom it originally displayed a "Download from Sendspace link" (it picked the first mirror link) but this collection contains two mirror archives and the link at the bottom of the page only displays the first Sendspace URL. Subsequently I uploaded a csv containing the list of kits. Now the link at the bottom displays the uploaded file. The intention would be to have the original 1 file archive here.

Hey asbak, thanks for contributing and for the feedback.

- File upload fails (archive was about 360Mbyte)
- At the bottom it originally displayed a "Download from Sendspace link" (it picked the first mirror link) but this collection contains two mirror archives and the link at the bottom of the page only displays the first Sendspace URL. Subsequently I uploaded a csv containing the list of kits. Now the link at the bottom displays the uploaded file. The intention would be to have the original 1 file archive here.

To adress the issues:
- Big file uploads are a problem right now, I'd advise against trying to upload files bigger than 50mb until I find a better solution. We have a few options:
-- If the file is available in another place I could download it in the server myself.
-- Seeing that it's licensed as public domain, you can mirror it on the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/) and add it as only one mirror on the server
- The download button originally worked only with the uploaded files, when there are none it will pick the first mirror instead. So that's what's happening here.

Anyway, if the sendspace links have the full file I can put in the server myself, but If you want I'd recommend the Internet Archive option too.

Thanks lfz, the sendspace archives are the same thing but spread over two files to get around their 200Mbyte (I think?) limit.

The Drumkits are up with the full file as a download link: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/133

Fantastic! Great site and a great future resource without a doubt.

Guitarix now have a little web-interface to browse and download presets from musical-artifacts.

(a side note, therefore it introduce a new dependency to webkit-1.0)

Cool!

Could you add the required dependency to the dependencies list on the Guitarix site?
I don't know which one I need.

On debian based systems the package you'll need now additional is called

Code: Select all

libwebkitgtk-dev

I hope guitarix users find it useful!

On the last few days I've tweaked the interface a little to make guitarix web window a little neater and also added a couple new presets... and more are on the way.

On the backend now we have sorting via most downloaded / best ranked and several small bug fixes. As always I'm open for feedback and hope everyone enjoys the site.

The web interface and preset handling are good news.
Does this mean you are secretly creating a cloud-based guitarix?
Also, is the MOD project utilizing some wireless tech to deprecate guitar cables?
2016, please hurry! The year when disparate technologies unify!

Currently only download of presets be supported. Uploading presets within guitarix isn't possible for now, but yes, maybe I'll add that.
We have to thank Ifz for providing the "Cloud", which makes it possible to go this way.

Just updated Guitarix. The preset download button works great, puts it straight in Guitarix.
Thanks tramp and lfz for making this work!

Was playing around with Guitarix a bit and thought about the following:
Is it possible to make an upload button as well?
If I recall correctly Tuxguitar had this kind of feature: you could make a song and then upload to the net.
