OrgMaker 3 - Updated version of Org2

I created OrgMaker 3 which is a fork of OrgMaker 2 in which I fixed some bugs and added a few features

Nice, are you taking feature recommendations? If so, could you make the MIDI exporter include mid-note volume changes and have tempo rounding options? Another cool thing would be a record feature that uses the keyboard input and maybe waits for the first keypress to start. Are ORGs made with this at all compatible with CS/old ORGMaker versions given the addition of precise loop points?

Nice improvement.

Good point: Playback moves note by note rather than by measure.

Bad point: Please see VirusTotal report. Based on latest version 3.0.8.

 

Are those flags false-positives? Like, I don't think Strultz would purposefully put viruses into a silly little Cave Story music composition tool extension, especially seeing as the thing is Open Source.

I'm not like, a professional at checking C++ code for wiruses, but the version I use, 3.0.7, is also flagged by VirusTotal as malicious. And 3.0.0, the first OrgMaker 3 release, is ALSO flagged as such.

ALSO. The latest version of Rxo Inverse's OrgMaker 2, ver. 2.1.1, is ALSO flagged as malicious, though only two flags as opposed to 21 entire flags for OrgMaker 3.0.8.

And finally, OrgMaker 1, coded only by Pixel himself, (In this case, Ver. 1.3.4,) is the only version of OrgMaker that's not flagged as malicious in any way by VirusTotal. So really, if you wanna be extra safe and want to use the latest non-malicious OrgMaker, use OrgMaker 1.3.4.

Otherwise, it's just OrgMaker 3. It ain't gonna mine shitcoin on your PC or whatever.

they are infact false positives

Never judge a book by its VirusTotal Malicious Flag count.

 

Aside from this deeeeeeeefinitely putting a virus on my computer and giving Ewan Green access to my city's power grid & also my grubhub account for some reason, I'd say this was a pretty good use of the Orgmaker sourcecode.
That said, if you really want to stick with the OrgMaker format this much (I'd really advise you don't, it's archaic and bad compared to pxtone, but that's apples to oranges (and I guess now other subvariants of fruit)), I think you'd need to focus a lot on how other music software's UX has evolved over time and integrate that directly into the workflow.
Small touches such as the feedback you get upon a note playing, the way the scrolling itself is designed (I still prefer vanilla orgmaker/pxtone scrolling style over FL Studio's scrolling style for practicality reasons and "Not disorienting me" reasons, weird I know.)

Also I think the soundbanks idea is awesome! The ORGmaker sound output is super reminiscent of the way the Game Boy was designed and I think it's cool for that (Though I think its melodic instrument system is the weakest out of all the music software Pixel made, that said it has an insanely good stock melodic wave kit)

That said, the software REALLY needs a solution to edit the waveforms within the software itself, otherwise you're just forcing me to constantly switch to audacity (Nutoriously dogshit program for anything other than clipping audio and exporting to useful formats) ((I would know I've used it for as long as I've edited audio))

One other slight adjustment I'd reccomend is moving the nudging shortcuts (The ones displayed next to the play and stop buttons) to be BELOW the play and stop buttons, because the two right arrow shaped buttons being so close together confuses my intuition for some unknowable reason.

 

So, what is the soundbank format?
