Hi,
My an.factory librarian is Java based, so it runs on PCs and OSX based MACs.
Whilst it's not a full editor (yet), an.factory can read SYSEX, MID and AN1 files, and send and receive data with the AN1x via MIDI, and you can drag and drop data between and within files. You need to register to gain access to file save and MIDI export, but the registration cost is modest (for what is I believe a commercial quality application), and you can evaluate everything else (including file load and MIDI import) prior to registration.
A new release is imminent in a week or so, once final testing is complete. The new release adds full database support, so you can store all of your patches in one place and filter and search for patches based on name, category, ranking, comment, filename, author, and any combination of those.
I'm currently testing it on an iMac that I have on loan from a friend of mine, and one of the things I've been working on for this release is full integration with OSX, so it looks and feels just like a native OSX application.
Once that new release is out of the way, I will be considering adding editor support, as the available apps (whilst functional on the platforms they were designed for) are a little long in the tooth. I love my AN1x and plan never to sell it, so I'm interested in whatever can be done to an.factory to keep support for the AN1x going. I am also happy to consider suggestions from the AN1x community on what they would like to see.
I'll also be looking at being able to swap patches between the AN1x and PLG150-AN and AN200. The new version of an.factory can already read AN2, ANP and ANS files and store them in its database, and the next step is to be able to swap data between the different architectures. I want an easy way to take AN1x patches and drop them onto my PLG150-AN inside my Motif ES Rack, which may also include auto generation of the Motif ES PLG voice, including mapping of effects. This is similar to work I did in ex.factory where I can read AN1 files and map the AN1x voices to EX5 AN voices.
You can find an.factory and its siblings over at www.xfactory-librarians.co.uk.
Cheers
Derek
