NymbankBatch 1.1.0.18 Release Version- Windows GUI for nimbank

We have released the GUI "nymbankBatch" Version 1.1.0.18 for "nimbank.py" which works for Windows users. We have been tracking various threads here in the forum for a while. At first, our goal was to make our work easier when we organized our files. Since Komplete Kontrol and Machine 2 unfortunately do not provide all functions, we started playing around with the fantastic Nimbank.



We ultimately lacked a graphical user interface (GUI). We would like to share the GUI with you now:

now available under the following link: nymbankBatch Setup


Please read the User Manual

If you like our work, we would be very happy to receive a donation.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank "Denivel" for the kind permission so that

best regards,
MawaCiN & Spacemaster

 

Cool! I'll add a note to my thread about "custom expansions" and direct people to the wherever you host the application at.

Denivel is a really friendly guy, he gave me permission when I attempted something similar so I'm pretty sure he won't mind, I dont think he hangs around the forum, message him here.

Questions:
Whos "we"? SpaceMaster? 280YS Access? I cant really read that logo.
Are you a single person, a team or a company?
Does the software have commercial ambitions or will it be free? Open source?

Suggestions:
- Make it cross-compatible Windows/macOS (It's a big request and an annoying task to undertake, I know)
- Add a 'sub bank' field. (Not 100% sure if there are sub banks anymore)
- Add a 'comment' field.

It would be cool to have all the other features from the script but for a V1 those are enough.

 

First of all, thank you for the nice feedback and suggestions.

To your questions.:

01 - 2Boys Access Media is the name for my productions. Spacemaster is my biological brother.

I am, so to speak, the musician in the family and my brother the programmer

We worked together on the project because I asked him to work with me to make the workflow easier.

02 - My brother and I are already a company, but not in the music industry. Therefore, we have no commercial intentions for such a tool. We are of course happy to accept donations if someone likes our work and would like to reward us for it. However, this is not a requirement. Free of charge yes, but it will not be open source.

Generally, a comment field and the option for sub-banks should be integrated in the published version.

In order to make the software also compatible with MAC, I would have to talk to my brother in this case. We think for a first version this will surely not be available yet. However, if there is so much interest in it, it will show the near future.

So far I haven't received a reply from Denivel.


It is planned to gradually support all functions of the nimbank script. However, all of this takes up a lot of time and energy, as Windows can sometimes cause difficulties.

Greetz,
Markus

Wow thats great news. Great job, cant wait to try
Is not preset manager open source now ?

 

Yes, PresetMagician is opensource now, it's on GitHub but it's a far more complex piece of software.

 

Yes, still the work has been done for the followings on the windows side of things

- Database image generator
- Database preview sound generator

 

Hay Kaldosh,

We are aware that "PresetManager" is able to automatically add supported plugins to the library. However, we would like to provide a tool with which you can edit database entries to your heart's content. We want to make it easier for the user so that you don't need different tools for different tasks. As far as I know, "PresetManager" is currently not being developed. Furthermore, with "PresetManager" I was unfortunately not able to do exactly those things that NiMbank provides in connection with nymbankBatch.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

UPDATE: Today we received the official approval from denivel to publish our tool.
We are currently completing a few functions and producing a user and installation guide.

We assume that the current version will still be available for download this week.

Greetings Markus

 

Thanks Markus, this is really great news and an incredible addition that will help a lot of users like me. Thank for what you are doing, as I am not dedicated enough (and have no time) to dive into python but really need to sort my things in a convenient way.

Trying this now, it returns errors in the log for every task... reading 7 times your tutorial is not getting me there yet

Maybe it would be nice to depict the architecture of the library in the tutorial and be less concise about the different steps.$

For instance I tried to create subfolders in my Project folder in order to give them custom image
So in my project folder I have subfoler named say : to finish, sound design, templates, Drum Machines, Advanced Racks .....

I assume reading this that I would have to select my subfolder say sound design, put all the projects related to it into it, create the corresponding image folder for custom icons, then when my prep is done, open NymbankBatch , tick projects only on top of it if I only want to edit my projects, in Folder, select Sound design subfolder containing all the associated project ?
Then I would assume to type in Product the name of that subfolder to tag all its content accordingly and reveal a new Icon in the Project area ?

Let me know If I get this right this way or if I just dont get it

Anyway, the way I do it doesn't work and it returns errors

 

Hello Kaldosh,
The correct order would be:

01. Copy all projects to a new folder (backup copy)
02. Put the folder in an easily accessible place.
03. Open nymbankBatch.
04. All hooks except projects
05. Under Folders, select the previously created folder on your hard drive.
06. Carry out all desired designations
07. Click on Let's do it It should have been.

Metafiles for the images are not yet supported in this version. This can also lead to problems if the paths are too long or the machine / complete control is still open.

What mistake do you get? What version of Python are you using? Can you attach an error log?

 

It just mention error on each line of different tasks underneath.
I use the recommended version 2.7.4
What do you mean by All hooks except projects ?
I'll provide a log asap

 

Hay Kaldosh,

can you check this at the following "Videofile" please ?

 

Wow thanks !! Toll !

First thing, I didn't copy over the umsgpack.pyc, so that could be well be the reason .

Wow, thank you very much for this video, this will help for sure.

So to Categorise my project folders this would be the same process ?

Also, I am finishing my Trash 2 NKS mapping....very long work so I have 1 file that is mapped properly.

Can I extract that and inject it to all my previously made presets so they all have it ?

Also , I wanted to dowload your video just for offline watching, and when I want to open it in VLC, my Mac doesn't want saying it comes from an unidentified developper ??? Is there a program in it ?

 

I just got around to testing it.

It's a bit annoying that after running the script we have to close the app and open it again, is this intended?
If all hooks are on the app only seems to edit Project files, is this intended?
It's not applying the edits to Wav files, personally, this is my main reason to use it, mass editing of drumkits/one-shots - maybe this happens because of the hook thing above?

It's just an .MP4, plays normally here in VLC. Is it showing some weird extension for you?

 

Hi there,

You do not have to close the app to continue editing.

When you have completed one operation, simply continue with the next.

The progress indicator is not yet reset when you are working on a new process. The editing works anyway.

We will fix this refresh error in the next update.

You can edit what you want. If you leave all the ticks available for selection, all supported files will be processed at the same time. This is of course not helpful if you want different names. In this case, simply select the hook that applies to the corresponding file.

Groups for * .mxgrp group files (kits etc.)

Projects for * .mxprj project files etc.

Bonjour

Vous n'avez pas besoin de fermer l'application pour continuer la modification.

Lorsque vous avez terminé une opération, passez simplement à la suivante.

L'indicateur de progression n'est pas encore réinitialisé lorsque vous travaillez sur un nouveau processus. L'édition fonctionne quand même.

Nous corrigerons cette erreur de rafraîchissement dans la prochaine mise à jour.

Vous pouvez modifier ce que vous voulez. Si vous laissez tous les ticks disponibles pour la sélection, tous les fichiers pris en charge seront traités en même temps. Ce n'est bien sûr pas utile si vous voulez des noms différents. Dans ce cas, sélectionnez simplement le hook qui s'applique au fichier correspondant.

Groupes pour les fichiers de groupe * .mxgrp (kits, etc.)

Projets pour les fichiers de projet * .mxprj, etc.

Hallo,

Sie müssen die App nicht schließen um eine weitere bearbeitung durchzuführen.

Wenn sie einen Vorgang ausgeführt haben, fahren sie einfach mit dem nächsten fort.

Die fortschrittsanzeige wird aktuell noch nicht zurückgesetzt wenn sie einen neuen Vorgang bearbeiten. Die Bearbeitung funktioniert trotzdem.

Im nächsten Update werden wir diesen refreshfehler beheben.

Sie können bearbeiten was sie möchten. Wenn sie alle Haken die zur auswahl stehen angeklickt lassen, weden alle unterstzützten Dateien gleichzeitig bearbeitet. Dies ist selbstverständlich nicht hilfreich wenn sie unterschiedliche benennungen wünschen. Wählen sie in diesen fall einfach nur den haken aus, welcher auf die entsprechende datei zutrifft.

Groups für *.mxgrp groupdateien ( Kits etc. )

Projects für *.mxprj Projektdateien u.s.w

Olá

Você não precisa fechar o aplicativo para continuar editando.

Quando você concluir uma operação, simplesmente continue com a próxima.

O indicador de progresso ainda não foi redefinido quando você está trabalhando em um novo processo. A edição funciona de qualquer maneira.

Corrigiremos esse erro de atualização na próxima atualização.

Você pode editar o que quiser. Se você deixar todos os ticks disponíveis para seleção, todos os arquivos suportados serão processados ao mesmo tempo. Obviamente, isso não é útil se você quiser nomes diferentes. Nesse caso, basta selecionar o gancho que se aplica ao arquivo correspondente.

Grupos para arquivos de grupo * .mxgrp (kits etc.)

Projetos para arquivos de projeto * .mxprj etc.

 

Looks normal yes but my computer says it's not....weird

 

I tried the new version. Mostly everything was fixed, works well except for wav files, it doesn't apply anything to them.
The original script works with *asterisc, meaning it applies changes to everything it finds... either add that somehow or a check for wav/aiff files (?)

 

Good for you... Can't really get my head around it, ...
