I want to team up with other E-mu Proteus 2000 users. Just started 3 days ago any direction you can point me or if you want to contribute, please let me know. I will send you a copy of the current version that I have available.
Hello,
I own a Proteus 2000 and a 2500 and i’m interested in a panel for these machines.
I used Prodatum to control some of my Proteus2000 parameters but i think it will be more usefull to have all my synths useable within Ctrlr.
I never made any panel, and i’m new to sysex, so i don’t know how to help.
Let me know if you need i give you some ideas to implement on your panel, i will try to be available as much as possible.I will be avalable after thanksgiving. Do you know anything about programming?
I know some programming languages like php, javascript, java but i’m totally new into CTRLR.
But i have to make a panel for my TG-33 synth, so my experience will grow and i should be able to help you on some features if you want. 😉I do not understand much about Ctrlr, so I cannot help out with programming. I do understand a bit about E-Mu P2k/CS sysex. The only Ctrlr panel I did, was a very simple one way (PC to gear) arp panel to turn arps on and off and to mix relative volume, I believe with the expression CC. For a test using the panel, I did a live performance on an internet radio station. I had one for C01A -> C16A and one for C01B -> C16B. Again, it was super simple: turned notes on and off [latch mode on E-Mu] and mixed with the expression CC slider (probably a year ago, est.).
I would encourage others and will help out if I can.
One of the things people might want to consider is E-Mu’s Remote Control Sysex mode.

Don’t expect much, but here’s as far as I got:

SteveI have not done anything more with ctrlr. However, I have started to experiment with the Jazz-Plugin, which I think I first learned about here. (Thank you, atom.) There are a number of Command Station/P2500 users who cannot use e-loader to upload/download sequences to their computers for various reasons, so I took another look at the Jazz-Plugin recently. Unfortunately, I do not know javascript, so I have to teach myself as I go.
The idea is simple and could benefit P2K users as well–using sysex, develop web-based functionality (not just for sequencers, but for OS, preset storage, and perhaps even preset editing. I am not sure if a js/html [possibly using WebMIDIAPI] can interface with ctrlr, but if so that might be nice.
As for my progress with the Jazz-Plugin, I have gotten many of the demos to work from the Jazz-Soft site and have gotten some of them to work from a local html/js file on my desktop. The port selection works; I can read what’s connected (including a P2500), though the demo only recognizes it as E-Mu gear, not specifically which model); I can send data including sysex commands to the E-Mu; and I can get traditional midi data from the E-Mu (note on, CCs, etc.), but I have not deciphered the code that will let me display sysex replies. The MidiGear demo uses that, but I haven’t been able to get a local version working to play around with it and try adapting it.
It does look promising and I have plans to try to teach myself js, unless someone here already knows it and we can work together on it, perhaps at the Jazz-Soft forum. If at the same time someone could develop an E-Mu Proteus panel here that might be able to interface with the Jazz-Plugin, I’d be willing to contribute what I can.

PS: See http://ctrlr.org/forums/topic/midi-in-your-browser/ where Atom suggests jazz-soft’s potential with ctrlr.
Good news: Thanks to the help of my son, I was able to get the Jazz-Plug in to send sysex to my P2500 and to have the return sysex displayed into the midi input display. This is just a starting point for possible web-based midi functionality with gear connected to a computer. I still don’t know if a web-based ctrlr panel or app is possible, but I thought I’d report on the progress with the Jazz-Plugin in case others are interested.
