Controlling Equalizer

[mclough6]

I thought it would be a useful feature to be able to voice control the Media Monkey Equalizer.  Particularly swapping the presets.  So if you are listening to some jazz and then want to switch to hard rock, you could make the appropriate equalizer changes by voice.

Yes, we have commands for this, but they are not part of the standard configuration for MM and they are also as yet undocumented in the help.

The two commands are:

MM.LoadEqPreset, and MM.SetEQ

turn EQ on like this

MM.SetEQ     true

and off like this

MM.SetEQ     false

and load a preset using the filename like this (no path required other than the filename, but you need the .sde at the end)

MM.LoadEqPreset    Rock.sde

the filename is not case sensitive.  Loading any preset will automatically turn EQ on.

Here's an xml file with some basic presets.  Drag it into your command tree to import it.

Ok

That was simple enough.  Thanks guys.  I have read about a free download that has about 20 presets (much more than comes with MM).  If you think anyone would be interested I will try and track down the website and update the xml file to include the addiitional presets and post it here.

I don't use equalizer personally, but I'm sure someone would benefit from it so if you do find it please post either an attachment or a link.  Thanks.

Ok here is my small contribution to the equalizer control.  First download the following free presets at:  http://www.mediafire.com/?jgox2jzhfxw

extract the presets into your mediamonkey equalizer folder.

drag the xml file attached below to contol your new presets.

I also added "load preset" and "load equalizer" to the command list because I didn't like saying "load equalizer preset rock"

I hope this is of some use to somebody.

Regards

I noticed this morning that the attached file is not the one I modified.  I will track down the correct file after work tonight and replace.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the xml file onto the forum.  I imported the xml James provided with no problem  Once in Vox I edited the file and saved.  However, when I go back to the vox folder and open the xml file there it is unaltered.  When I reopen Vox the edited file is there.  How do I get the file from in Vox to the forum.  I can't seem to find the altered xml file anywhere.

[jitterjames]

once imported, any commands that you edit and save will only be updated in "voicecommands.xml"

if you want to export a group of commands, right click the group and select "Export Group".

The group with all its commands will be save to the voxcommando subfolder "export" and the filename will be whatever the group was called.

Now I think about it, I should probably use a dialog that lets you choose where to save the exported file.  I'll add that to my to do list since it's actually pretty short at the moment.

Ok I did get the correct xml file in the attachment above.  Sorry it took so long.  I wanted to add some text to speech line items, but I do not seem to have much time lately. 

[jitterjames]

that's ok.  thanks for the effort. Hopefully you learned something useful in the process.
