Re: [sc-users] ANN: RedInfo ugens

[Fredrik Olofsson <f@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi, thanks for the feedback.

apple changed the direction it seems and the library i use (UniMotion  
0.4.1 (http://unimotion.sourceforge.net/) by Lincoln Ramsay) probably  
isn't up to date with those changes.  i will not try to keep up with  
apple.  so the ugens will not be xyz direction safe on all portable  
models.  sorry.  you'll need to make it an option for the end user  
(possibly as a part of your calibration code?).

anyway, i've uploaded a new version (same place).
the new version includes RedInfoSms2 and RedInfoSms3 ugens.  these  
output the integer raw data.
the new version should also run on 10.4.
