Title: Opcode Galaxy 2.5.4
Post by: Irisman on May 14, 2014, 01:03:29 PM: Hi,

I am searching for the Opcode Galaxy+... searched in the internet with no success; tried several installs, but the installers are corrupted or incomplete, what means that I can run the program but I can´t install the devices, and so on.

Do any member here keep in archives this quite old piece of software? I am trying to help a finnish guy to recover his TX802 sounds, so mainly I am interested in the editor for this synths, working on the Galaxy.

Thanks in advance,
Irisman

:D

im sure it would be appreciated by all if you could use Stuffit + transcode to binary format (.sit.bin)
this ensures proper transfer of meta data, icons, resource forks etc
mac files can actually be damaged by putting in zip
this is the reason why many people have problems with downloaded mac os programs
that were compressed + packaged incorrectly for transfer over the internet!

I just uploaded to the ftp the .sit.bin file with the Galaxy + editor that is making me happy after lots of headaches of testing bad copies of this programs that are out there. May some of you use it, or make it available to others will be fine ;)

It contains the galaxy program, the librarians, the editors, and the extras folder. It´s the only working copy I could found out there, coming from the Yahoo Opcode Users group.

I assume and subscribe those politics, it´s better to do the things well once that bad twice isn´t it? And I learnt to manage how to make .sit.bin files!!
