You'll find software here and some environments for Logic Audio, Emagic's wonderful and (e)magical sequencer. Everything here is free, as I don't believe making money is the sole purpose of life. I find it pathetic to see how every John Doe who writes some mediocre piece of software dares to ask some shareware fee for it. The human condition...
If you own Logic Audio and are looking for interesting environments, you should also check out Len Sasso's excellent Swiftkick website, which has a huge collection of environments for all kinds of purposes.
Most downloads require a recent version of Stuffit Expander to unpack the archives. Stuffit Expander is a great free product from Aladdin Systems, available for both PC and Macintosh, and can be downloaded from their website. The occasional dowenload is packed as zip-archives (upon frequent requests from PC users). Stuffit Expander will handle those as well. PC folks probably already have some unzip utility handy.

All things you find on this page are free. You may download them, and use or abuse them in whichever way you see fit. However, Omega Art or Hendrik Jan Veenstra can't be held responsible if the software causes any problems to you, your computer, hard disk, or any other part of your system or your life. All software is delivered "as is", and no-one but yourself can be held responsible for what it does or does not do.
All software was thoroughly tested (except where noted differently), and even though the occasional bug might be left, I do believe that none of those will be fatal in any sense. You do however use the software at your own risk.
"QWERTY midi keyboard" (Qmk) lets you assign multiple MIDI notes to keys on the Macintosh keyboard. Using OMS these notes can then be sent to any of the OMS instruments defined in your OMS Studio Setup (including the QuickTime Music Synthesizer that comes with your Mac). Furthermore you can send MIDI controllers, pitchbend, program changes and custom defined MIDI messages. A popup menu is able to store up to 250 different "Macintosh keys to MIDI notes" mappings, allowing you to easily switch between e.g. a standard, single note, piano keyboard and a set that assigns complex jazz chords to single Macintosh keys. You can thus use your Macintosh keyboard as a (crude) MIDI controller keyboard.

"Session Setup" allows you to create an entire file & folder hierarchy with one mouseclick.
You can create up to 24 folders, in every hierarchical order. Into these folders you can have the program copy up to 24 files ("templates"). Special wildcards are provided to automatically add your song's name or day, month, year or any of up to 8 user-defined textstrings (like your studio's name, or your initials) to your folder's names. Finder view settings and labels are supported for all created folders in the Macintosh version.
Complete setups can be saved and loaded, so that you can use different ready-made setups for different applications.
Version 1.2 now supports Basic and Expert modes, for quick-and-dirty or complex-and-sophisticated use.
If you use Session Setup with e.g. a digital audio environment like Emagic's Logic Audio, you can easily set up folders for Audio, Sampler Instruments, Settings, Notes & Lyrics, et cetera. Furthermore you can automatically have the program copy e.g. your Autoload song into the root of the hierarchy and give it your song's name, copy your favourite sampler instruments into the appropriate folder and prefix their names with your song's name or the year of creation, or... whatever your imagination comes up with.
Documentation included.
A simple yet rather flexible tool that allows you to rename complete filetrees with a single button-click.
The program basically does 3 things:
Each of the 3 steps can be switched on or off. Steps 1 and 2 can be performed on files, folders or both (step 3 on files only). You can choose between processing just one folder-level, or processing an entire filetree (all nested levels as well). Finally you can choose to process the files and folders "all in one go, without questions asked", or have the program ask you for each item if it should change the file-/foldername or not.
Note: this is an effective but rather crude program (hence the name) that I wrote since I needed its functionality myself. This is not supposed to be some finished & polished product. You may use it "as is", but please don't expect any support, feature updates, or whatever.
Documentation included.
This package was initially designed to facilitate the creation of transformer maps in Logic Audio. However, it can do much more, since it basically sends spreadsheet data as midi-data over OMS. If you want a sine-shaped automation curtve, or if you want to create a sample-&-hold-like sound by sending a sequence of random steps to the Filter Cutoff knob of some synth... then this package is for you.
