CAL Builder Program for free now with 2 Basic tutorials

[Francois Greeff]

My name is Francois Greeff.
I developed software in 2003 that I have just updated with new features.
I would like to share it with fellow users.
It is completely free, no adds, no catches.
I developed it for myself to assist in creating certain CAL scripts to make my life easier.
Is there a section we can create where I can share this/upload it?

Just some of the functions very basically described.

1 - Change Output Folder

2 - Break bars into rhythm patterns 2/2, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, (Normal and triplet with key offset and velocity offset)
a - Build Split Bar Cal
b - Build Bar to Rhythm Cal

3 - Chord Builder
a - List boxes
b - Add Custom Chord -
c - Chord Preview
d - Strum Value
e - % Vel Value
f - File Name Suffix
g - Reduce note length by strum value
h - Build Cal Files (Down Strum)
i - Build Cal Files (Up Strum)
j - Refresh List with Chord definition file - (currently 60 Chords)
k - Save List to Chord definition file - (currently 60 Chords)
l - 0 strum value

4 - Note Bender
a - Up Curve and Down Curve
b - Bend Range
c - Attack, Sustain & Decay
d - File Name Suffix

5 - Note Slider

welcome Francois! 

if you have a Google Drive, you could host it there (there is a default "Public" folder) and share a public link to it. that is how many folks here share their wares.

Thanks Glenn.

That's what I thought as well.

Here is my Google Drive link that I have made shareable.

I’m thinking this post will disappear into oblivion in a day or 2. So I would post this in the instruments sub forum in the Freeware thread which is bumped to the top often.

Francois, thanks for putting in the work and sharing this!  If you feel comfortable sharing your code as well, you could include a github link too.

It's too bad there isn't an obvious section of the Content forums to post this.  I wonder why there isn't a CAL Scripts subforum there...

I created 2 tutorials 
1 - To demonstrate " Break bars into rhythm patterns" & "Chord Builder"

2 - To apply Cals " Break bars into rhythm patterns" & "Chord Builder" as per Tutorial 1

I used to write my CAL programs and place them on buttons in STUDIOWARE. Both tools are now obsolete. I would like Cakewalk programmers to make an update, don't you think?
