These scripts are used to start from an existing Eigenharp Alpha or Tau setup and create a setup with MIDI output as described in Pico MIDI
The scripts are attached as a zip archive with two text files that need to be moved to your 'Scripts' directory. For more information on using Belcanto Scripts in the Factory Setups please see Belcanto Scripts. It also contains the file 'Pico MIDI Additive.els' which can be imported into Stage to create the tab with the controls.
To be able to run these scripts you need to first load the Alpha or Tau setup to which you want to add support for Pico MIDI.
Afterwards open both the EigenBrowser and EigenCommander and type the following in the command line of the commander: eigenbrowser , interpreter hey script browse
Alternatively you can use the script browse key on the Alpha and Tau, as indicated in the quick reference guide.
The EigenBrowser will now allow you to browse to the user scripts and execute them. It's very important to first execute 'Pico MIDI Additive - part1', after which the Pico instrument will be automatically detected by EigenD. When that is done, the system will be ready to run 'Pico MIDI Additive - part2'.
Download the archive with the files here: link:Pico MIDI Additive.zip
Below is the contents of both scripts:

Adds Pico support with one playing keygroup that just sends out MIDI
to an existing Eigenharp Alpha or Tau setup. This should be ran after
the setup that needs to be modified has finished loading.
Run this script first and afterwards run the second part from the
other script.
