congrats on the new release! what are the changes? sorry if they are listed somewhere else, I cloudn't find them

thanks !

Thank you, I'm still working on the documentation. The Freetribe sysex loader is included in the latest version of Hacktribe.

python scripts/execute-freetribe.py path/to/freetribe-app.bin

This should prompt for a MIDI port, it won't work with USB, only the TRS MIDI port.

The screen will change colour and the device will otherwise look like it has frozen.

You should see the script count through the loaded blocks, then execute the Freetribe app you passed it.

Other changes include NRPN control of global settings and sequence steps, with new global parameters to enable MIDI thru, NRPN output and motion sequence CC (only accessible via NRPN). I'm working on some documentation examples and helper scripts.

I'm stuck at this step

electribe is not frozen in the process, notyhing happens,
2 MIDIMATE II:MIDIMATE II MIDI 1 28:0 is connected to midi In on the electribe
midi output on the electtribe is not connected

MIDI out needs to be connected, the script will wait for a response each time it sends a message. I think the port selection logic only supports selecting one port name, which is used for both input and output. If you have input and output on separate devices the script will need editing.
