XML Schema and transformation utilities for the Yamaha DX7 patch model

To validate the XML documents against the schema, use xmllint:

xmllint --xinclude --noout --schema schema/cartridge-0.1.xsd data/testcartridge.xml

This will process the XInclude elements first, and then validate the result against the XML Schema. The --noout parameter suppresses the output of the validated document.

Some XSL stylesheets for transformation are found in the stylesheets directory.

Lists the names of the voices in a cartridge. Use an XSLT processor like xsltproc to perform the transformation:

xsltproc --xinclude stylesheets/list-voices.xsl data/testcartridge.xml

The algorithm diagrams in SVG format were generated with svgbob. They are found in the stylesheets/diagrams directory.
