LeeStoddart Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm not ignoring him. I've never seen him on-line plus three of my mates would like his bootable CD that will run the OLE on their computer too. If you look back in this thread you'll see that I asked about the download link after PMing Marc. Marc had not picked up the message and I had to be patient until he visited the board again. Once he did he supplied the link, I down loaded the software and it works like a charm. Marc also provided addition help and advice to me - thanks to him for his efforts in making it possible to run the OLE on a machine which is normally XP Have patience and ye shall be rewarded Once you have downloaded the software you could burn more than one CD so that your mates have their own versions.

gareth Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well, I suppose he must be busy. I don't know. Please try to bear in mind that Marc's generous offer to distribute his CD image to BR users is not in any way an official BR service - it's something which he very kindly elected to do off his own bat. As such, I don't think anyone's got too much to moan about if they have to wait a few weeks for him to find some time to get around to dealing with the requests he's received (of which I'd imagine there are quite a few!). Maybe he's waiting until Christmas and giving them as seasonal gifts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinT Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Not that I expect anyone will read this...... If you PM Marc between 6 - 12th Nov - you probably won't get a response because he's working on a show for me, and my need is greater ;) If only we could get it to work on my *&^%$£^& laptop :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vooghtay Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 In the Strand OLE, how do I simulate using the wheels and faders?Ive worked out the rest of it and am workin through the tutorials on their site but cant work out how to make the wheels work.

LeeStoddart Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 ...cant work out how to make the wheels work. The wheel is represented by the Home/End keys. You can get the submasters onto the wheel (ie the home/end keys) using ALT F1 to F12 for subs 1 to 12. ALT-V will change this function to the Submasters 13 to 24 etc. Somewhere in the Strand manual there is a cheat sheet of the keyboard mapping.

mac.calder Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 For anyone interested, I just made a qemu image which uses freedos and runs strands OLE and can access floppy disks etc. You can get qemu from Free OS Zoo and get the image file from here. The download file is 4.5mb (roughly) however it is a 100mb image file, so it is relatively big. Most of that is free space though. Basically, to run it under windows, run the strandole.exe file after installing qemu and set the path to where you installed qemu. Then run the qemumenu program and choose freedos. The strand application starts up automatically. qEmu can also run on PPC (ie OSX) and linux/unix/bsd. To extract the image file on one of those os's, it is just an SFX rar archive, and can be uncompressed using unrar or the tool of your choice.

henny Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 cheesrs,it works a treat, I was just thinking how to get networking to work under it, so an xp laptop can be use as a designers console. ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonH Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 For anyone interested, I just made a qemu image which uses freedos and runs strands OLE and can access floppy disks etc. You are a genius (Genius Pro?). Nice one - it works fine on my XP machine. You do have to wonder why Strand can't get their ar$e in gear and do this for us when most other manufacturers out there have loverly GUI emulators etc. but hey ho.

Cheers The FreeDos and qEMU applications, along with my compilation are provided under the GNU General Public License Agreement. READ HERE, and as such are provided without waranty, HOWEVER: if qEMU is hanging, I suggest you go to The qEMU site and browse their documentation and support sections. :) Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To extract the image file on one of those os's, it is just an SFX rar archive, and can be uncompressed using unrar or the tool of your choice. Hi, Has anyone tried this on a Mac yet? I'm running 10.4 and am having difficulties in UnRar(ing) the file. I have downloaded the OSX software for UnRar(ing) but it at the moment it is only capable of extracting it by using 'Terminal.' I'm not too good with Terminal and therefore am unable to extract the file. Unfotunately the Help File which comes with UnRar isn't very helpful to a Terminal novice. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Andrew :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.calder Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 cd to the correct directory (ie cd /home/where-ever) then type unrar <FILENAME> where <FILENAME> is the name of the file. Bob's your uncle, roberts your fathers brother. If that fails, try mv <FILENAME>.exe <FILENAME>.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
