MMA-GB(1)

💖 mma-gb — MMA groove browsers 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about mma-gb, the manual page for the MMA groove browser. yes it's a real thing, yes it's iconic, and yes you're gonna understand it. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mma-gb

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no drama, just vibes. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

mma-gb is here to let you browse the MMA groove library, and honestly? she ate. 💅

When the program starts up, it will read all the existing MMA library files and create a small database file. lowkey important: you should be root, or at least have write permissions for this ... because if you don't, the program will still continue, but it will need to read the database the next time. so like, it works, but it's giving "we'll do this the hard way" energy. 😭

Once loaded, you will see several panels. The main panels on the left side let you select a library file and the associated groove. Just double click on a groove to play it — no cap, that's the whole move. The GUI calls MMA for this with the -V option. 🎶

You can change the parameters used in the top 4 boxes. yes, the top four. go wild. ✨

The <help> option gives a brief overview. when in doubt, click help, bestie, it's literally right there. 🫶

🎀 Caveats 🎀

The application is written in Tkinter, which should be available in most Python installations. It appears to be quite cross platform compatible and has been tested on Linux and Windows XP. (windows XP?? the way that this thing has RANGE. 💀 no shade, we respect the legacy.)
