MESA II AppleScript

AppleScript is available to Mac user as part of the Mac OS (version 7.5 or later), and is

a very simple programming language that can be used as very powerful method to

perform "batch" operations automatically on the data in an application.

MESA II is fully compatible with AppleScript. Scripts can therefore be written to per-

form a wide variety of useful "powerful functions": for instance, a script "Set individual

Levels" included with MESA II (compile it and save it as an application first) allows you

to set the individual outputs of all selected programs by a simple click with the mouse.

For reasons of variations in individual Mac hardware, software, and OS setups, the

scripts included with MESA II are test files that first need to be compiled on your com-

puter to run. To compile these scripts, you must start the AppleScript Editor program

which is an application included in the Mac OS. Load the script source code into the

editor and compile it. Those several lines after "?", "comment" commands in the source

code explain the purpose of scripts. Before saving, check if the script runs appropri-

ately within MESA II by clicking the "Run" button, then save it as an application. Then

you simply click its icon in the Finder to run it.

The scripts provided with MESA II include functions that allow you to;

* set selected programs to incremental program numbers (Renumber Pro-

grams)

* replace all programs in the sampler with 8 new programs (8 New Pro-

grams) whose

-- MIDI channels are set from 1 to 8,

-- individual outputs are set from 1 to 8,

-- stereo levels are set to zero,

-- individual levels are set to 90

* create a stereo program containing the 2 selected samples in the Memory

Window (Make Stereo Chromatic Program)

* set MIDI channels of all selected programs incrementally from 1 to 16

(Incremental Channels)

* set the individual outputs of all selected programs incrementally from 1 to

8, turns off stereo output and set the individual output levels to 90 (Incre-

mental Outputs)

* create programs containing a sample for each sample selected in the

Memory Window (Mono Programs from Samples)

* set the key span of each keygroup in the selected program in the Memory

Window to a single note in a chromatic scale, and one note is set as the

one keygroup (Chromatic Keyspan)

* set each keygroup in the selected program in the Memory Window to the

constant pitch (All KG to constant pitch)

* add a user specified number of keygroups to the selected program in the

Memory Window (Add keygroups to program)

Notes in Writing AppleScript

Some of the scripts included with MESA II depend on the actual configuration of your

system. For instance, some of the example scripts refer to system objects such as
