I’m working on a new version of the Config Tool in Python to make it compatible (and with the same interface) with Windows, Mac and Linux.
This first release is intended for those who know Python and can help in development. Do not test it if you do not know Python (I used v2.7) or do not know how to install the modules. If you do not know Python, but know Qt Designer can help me by giving me suggestions for the interface but do not expect miracles.
Currently I’m not going to insert a VST host into the program. It is a choice related to execution speed. To use a VST or similar, you have to install a software like loopMIDI.
- support to fluidsynth is not finished
- support for sfz not even started
- support to CC is missing
- many other things are not finished …
But do not worry, by the end of the month I finish these things, and in April I will make independent the program so as not to require the installation of Python and its modules.
Just thought I would share what I had to install to get this working under Windows 7, working from the starting point of already having Python 2.7 and an IDE installed. Might save some legwork for others…

For some reason despite me running 64-bit Windows I hit errors when executing main.py, so I installed the 32-bit versions of above and was up and running.
