Roland MKS-80 Editor (MPG-80 Emulation) mk1

by

After many years of having this famed module kicking around in my studio rack without a good editor for it on MacOSX which has plug-in integration and support for 32bit and 64bit VST/AU hosts, I stumbled across CTRLR which has revolutionized the way in which I can integrate my hardware synth collection within Ableton Live! I decided right away to get my hands dirty, contribute something of value to the community and bring this module to life since there was no panel for it created already.

Here is mk1 version 1.0 (latest versionuploaded 19-02-2015) of my Roland MKS-80 CTRLR Panel (essentially an emulation of Roland’s MPG-80 programmer).

Current Limitations:

– This mk1 version edits the Upper Tone only of a Patch (for mk2 I will extend functionality to have simultaneous editing of the Lower Tone).

– SysEx dumps of single patches and Bulk dumps have not been implemented yet.

 

NOTE: With the current implementation of the Programmer Channel selector, behaviour is as follows. The range is from 0-15 and which translates to 1-16 of “real” MIDI channels. So this means if your MKS80 is set to MIDI Channel 9, you *must* select 8 on this Panel’s Programmer Channel knob (you can’t miss it – it is coloured orange). If you do not set the channel correctly on the Panel,  your tweaks on this Panel will not reach your MKS80. I will investigate a means of correcting this behaviour so the displayed MIDI channel matches the real MIDI channel.

I’m looking forward to developing this further as I get my head around LUA scripting (this will take some time). For now, enjoy tweaking this awesome sounding synth if you’re lucky enough to have one and be sure to make use of Snapshots to store your sounds to give yourself full patch recall with your self created sounds being faithfully stored within your DAW project files. Liberating yourself from the tedium of managing patches within the synth own memories is the key to achieving robust recall of your precious sounds).

Special mention must go out to my good friend, John Grant, for the extended loan of this module he was no longer making use of! Much respect! Additional thanks going out to forum member, Layzer, for adding nicely rendered animated slider/knob caps and making the Programmer Channel selector work! MANY THANKS!

 

Best Wishes,

KORG DW-6000 Panel w. CC mapping

by

This is a panel for the KORG DW-6000 synthesizer. All parameters exposed by its System Exclusive specification are editable. In addition, I´ve added processing of incoming MIDI CC messages. The mapping is fixed and you can find a mapping list included in the zip file. Whenever the panel receives one of the mapped controllers it will output the corresponding SysEx message to the device. Thus you can control your DW using any hardware midi controller.

The panel also contains program select buttons that will send program dump requests to the DW. So if you set up a bi-directional connection between the synth and the computer a program change will update the panel controls to the values of the selected program.

The panel was created and tested with Ctrlr Build 1613 on Win7 64.

Jay-V (Roland JV/XP family panel)

by

Jay-V a HUGE panel for the Roland JV / XP family of synths which has pages for each of the four ‘tones’, an effects/common page & an ‘all tones’ page which edits the parameters of all four tones simultaneously. The panel parameters & patch names update when you change the preset via the panel so to make the best of the editor you will need bi-directional MIDI communication between your JV/XP & your computer.

The panel also requires the ‘LCDdot’ font to operate, here’s a (legal) link….

Enjoy, best…. Pat & Zoltan. ( @King PP & @zoldalma )

 

 

Kiwi-3P Editor

by

A panel for Roland JX-3P Synthesizers that have been retro fitted with the Kiwitechics 3P Upgrade (version 2.5 firmware).

This panel uses predominantly Sysex commands to control the synthesizer parameters.

The current patch name and location are displayed in the centre screen. Next to the screen are two buttons, these select the panel features via pop-up menus. The the Kiwi-3P menu allows the selection, saving and moving of patches in the synthesizer memory. The Editor menu allows patches to be renamed, initialised and saved to and loaded from disk as Sysex files.

The panel was created and functions in Ctrlr version 1590.

You can view a quick demo here: http://vimeo.com/79630339

AKAI MINIAK/ Alesis Micron

by

Editor for AKAI MINIAK and Alesis Micron.

Alesis Micron requires firmware 1.10.

Limitation:
Unfortunately, the editor can not add Mod matrix.
If you want to add Mod matrix, you need manually add each Mod matrix on synth itself before editing.
Similarly, add adequate Mod matrix before loading .syx file.
