convert MKtldesc files to JSON

[LFSaw]

a = "%/%".format(MKtl.deviceDescriptionFolder, MKtl.allDevDescs[\istage][\file]).load;

a.asCompileString
b = a.asCompileString.replace(
    "'",
    "\""
)
.replace(
    "(",
    "{"
)
.replace(
    ")",
    "}"
)
a
b.parseJson.postcs;

JSON files should be hierarchical
not urgent for this week
check that both read and write really works.

Hoi all,

Here is a proposal for serialisable notation:

• use KeyValueArray format to keep order, and use event-like expansion notation

 [midiChan: 1], // single value for all elements
 [midiChan: [0, 3], // list composed of values
 [ midiNum: [\range, 36, 96] ]; // continuous range of values
 [ midiNum: [12, 24, [\range, 36, 96], 108 ] // nestable, will be flattened

this can easily be converted as needed when reading the file in different programs.
example for how a complete desc file could look:

[
    name: \EggLayingWoolMilkSow,
    protocol: \midi,
    description: [

        // with midinum - 127 per channel
        non: [midiMsgType: \noteOn, midiChan: [\range, 0, 9], midiNum: [\range, 36, 96]],
        noff: [midiMsgType: \noteOff, midiChan: [\range, 0, 9], midiNum: [\range, 36, 96]],

        // composed onoff, and polyTouch goes with it
        nonoff: [midiMsgType: \noteOnOff, midiChan: 15, midiNum: [\range, 24, 60]],
        polyTouch: [midiMsgType: \control, midiChan: 15, midiNum: [\range, 24, 60]],

        cc: [midiMsgType: \control, midiChan: 0, midiNum: [5, 8, [\range, 13, 21], 42] ],

        // 1 per channel
            // touch
        touch: [midiMsgType: \touch, midiChan: [\range, 0, 9]],
        bend: [midiMsgType: \bend, midiChan: [\range, 8, 15]],
        program: [midiMsgType: \bend, midiChan: 0]
        // add more here when integrated: \\
        // ...
    ]
];

worth pursuing?

non >> on
noff >> off

otherwise nice :)

[adcxyz]

ok, I take that as a yes.
