The 16nx editor

Tom Armitage edited this page Sep 18, 2024 · 1 revision

The 16nx is fully compatible with the 16n editor, a web application written in SvelteKit. (It's compatible because it uses the same sysex-based editing protocol).

It is hosted at https://16n-faderbank.github.io/editor

It is run out of its own Github repository.

Why do I need to use Google Chrome to use the editor?

Well, any browser with WebMIDI support would be good. Currently, based on this list that looks like Opera 66+, Edge 80+, or Chrome 80+ - and Chrome is probably the cross-platform browser most people have.

One day, it'd be possible to make an Electron app for the editor, but making it work online is easier than making it work in multiple OSes.

Why Svelte?

I wanted something reactive, with a small r, and that a competent web developer could pick up fast if they didn't know. Over the years since I first picked it, I've used it for more and more projects, and like it as a choice that's easy to pick up but does what I need. It works well.
