instructions

• make sure you have the latest versions of node and npm installed (info here)

• install gulp globally (npm install gulp)

• install ngrok globally (npm install ngrok)

• if you get an error from npm about installing phantomjs (I did on Raspbian), try following these instructions to install phantomjs globally

• run npm install in this folder to install dependencies

• run npm start to run the app. this will run three processes in parallel (node index.js, which is running the server; gulp, which is running the frontend; and ngrok http 4005, which with the current settings will expose your localhost port 4005 to the web at a new randomized address each time it runs)

• connect to the frontend at the address ngrok dumps out in the console

• if you're still having issues, send ashlin a message

if using a yarns MIDI-CV interface

• make sure that layout is on 4M

• set the parts to the correct midi channels (parts 1-4 corresponding to midi channels 1-4)--

• go to Part, select 1, and exit the menu

• go to Channel, select 1, and exit the menu

• go to Part, select 2, and exit the menu

• go to Channel, select 2, and exit the menu

• repeat for parts 3 and 4

TODO:

• move message constants to a module/class
• move settings to a separate module to allow for dev/prod build configs
• implement queue for clients to use the synth
• pull in uws socket implementation / use with native WS on clientside for optimization
• host localtunnel server to get around 10 max connections limitation or look into networking alternatives
