ok I don't know, I tried to download farmpad 1.3.1. again, and, indeed, there is no defaut config txt in the "example configurtions" folder...

here is a link to download mine. (click to see, or right click "download" to download it)

you will see that in this one all midi channels are set as "2", but in your case you just change these to whatever channel you need

hope it'll work

Thanks... When I've done this how do I load it into farmpad?

wow this seems seriously complicated....

so ive downloaded your default_settings.txt and ive put it on my desktop...

my user folder is called 'benjiboko' so ive been typing:

-c benjiboko/desktop/default_settings.txt and
-c macintosh hd/users/benjiboko/desktop/default_settings.txt

does anyone know how i can load this file as the default for farmpad?

i have a big gig tomorrow so im trying to get this sorted asap...

i really appreciate your time!

You just need to save a txt file that contains the command you would normally use to run farmpad, then open terminal and enter this to make it executable.
example:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/launch_farmpad.txt
You can just type chmod +x and then just drag your txt file into terminal.

The above assumes you've called your txt file "launch_farmpad.txt" and that you've saved it to your desktop, but you can obviously call the file anything and save it anywhere you like as long as you change the last part of the code to represent the correct path and file name.

Now you just need to either delete the ".txt" extension or change it to ".command" and the file should launch terminal and run the script when double clicked.

ok so i have done this and hit enter.... NOTHING happens to acknowledge that this has been accepted... so i thought well maybe terminal just does it and that is....

so i went to the txt file on the desktop and changed it to .command.... when i open it it says... "this file ***.txt could not be executed because you do no have appropriate access privelages...

i truly appreciate you doing this but i dont understand why it just doesnt work and even more... why isnt this in the manual?

thanks, benji

What I describe above is just a way to make things convenient so that you can just double click on the .command file icon to launch farmpad. As for the access privileges, that's what the "chmod +x" command does.

To do it the normal way as described in the readme, just open Terminal and type farmpad and press enter. Or to run it with your config file (named MySettings.txt in the example):
farmpad -c ~/farmpad/MySettings.txt
Make sure padkontrol is connected before you do this. Press Ctrl + C to exit farmpad.

i must be doing something wrong here.... i am doing EXACTLY as you say yet terminal does nothing... when i hit enter after this code what should happen?

i have used the chmod +x and yet it still says access privileges....

Will this ever be released for PC??

What would be involved in porting it over?

delicioso.... check out the txt file that monstrejumo posted a few back up... this is what im working with and its on my desktop...

i want to attach a video but i dont have quicktime x for snow leopard... im on leopard...
