uiLabel name as argument in function call

by

Hi,

I want to use the name of an uiLabel as argument in a Lua function call with the purpose this function replaces the displayed text in this uiLabel by a tekst generated by this function.

So, I have by instance this code:

panel:getLabel(“patchLabel”):setText(”)

patchNibbles = midi:getData():getRange(8, 24)

— Now I want to call

buildAsciiBytes(value, patchlabelName)

to build labeltext  from value nibbles and set this text in the uiLabel with name ‘patchLabel’.

buildAsciiBytes (patchNibbles, ??? )    –<–how to define this argument?

local blablablab..

if blablabl…

newLabel:createFromTable(t)

end

panel:getLabel(“patchLabel”):setText(newLabel:toString()) — <–This does not work. What is the right construction to set the desired name in the modulator?

end –f

Thanks

Can’t record the MKS- 50 panel automation into Ableton Live track while the automation of CTRLR track’s chain modulator works and can be recorded

by

Hi there, I’m using the fantastic MKS-50 panel for CTRLR with Ableton and Juno Alfa 2 hardware synth. Everything works fine but can’t record the automation of  MKS-50 panel sliders as envelopes on an Ableton track.To be clearer,if I tweak a modulator in CTRLR track’s chain the corresponding slider in the MKS-50 panel moves the same way,works fine  and it’s recorded,but if move a slider in the MKS-50 panel the corresponding modulator into CTRLR track’s chain stand still and it’s not recorded as automation even if affects on the Juno sounds.It seems like  there are two separated “one way”: one  from modulators to Ableton  and one  from the MKS-50 sliders to Juno synth hardware.I’ve setted the MIDI THRU of CTRLR selecting  Plugin host -> Outside device and Change Channel Plugin host -> Outside device. Where Am I  wrong ?Thanks!

Behringer Poly D patch saver

by

Patch saver for the Behringer Poly D

v1.0 2020-05-01

This panel is only a patch loader/saver on computer as the Behringer Poly D does not support the load/save of programs or the manipulation of program parameters by Midi NRPN/CC messages except for Global settings that can be transferred to the Poly D synth.

It can thus also be called a “patch mapper”.

Features:

  • Behringer Poly D patch saver/loader for PC and Mac
  • Interface with same look as actual synthesizer
  • Top row of support “screens” with old look
  • Visual feedback by using “LED” ring buttons and indication of the parameter value
  • Envelopes graphs handled by mouse or classical ADS rotary encoder and Decay switch
  • Load / Save programs from individual .syx files
  • Easy program renaming
  • Display and export of program parameters as text file
  • Ability to describe 9 input/output patch cables with different sources/destinations
  • Programs have a name, author, save date and description. They can be associated to a category
  • Ability to describe the usage of each program in a step by step mode (up to 15 steps)
  • Browser of the files on the disk
  • Conversion of Sunny Synths’ Model D program files into Poly D ones
  • Patch sheet tab with patch sheet for Poly D and other gear (external synths/sequencer/FX chain)
  • Patch cables (9 colors)
  • Display of current precise parameter value when clicking on rotary encoders
  • Program settings management with automatic/manual send to the Poly D synth
  • Global settings management with automatic send to the Poly D synth (as Behringer Synthtool)
  • Panel zoom with memory
  • Automatic reading of wav files associated to a patch
  • Manual/Automatic reading of any wav file
  • Standalone versions for PC and Mac
  • VST versions for PC (32 and 64 bits)
  • VST and AU versions for Mac
  • All buttons associated to a Midi CC controller number so you can adjust them from a hardware controller (still no impact on the synth of course and unfortunately)

The manual can be downloaded from the Sunny Synths’ drive or website www.sunnysynths.com

Korg N1

by

Hello!
…
I wanna thank you all for help me out making my first panel.
…
My N1 is an old synth, a 1997 model, from Korg, with one mini screen and a lot of buttons. Inside there are 1300 patches, 600 samples, 48 effects. Something have to be done. Two clicks later, I’m on my way to discover Ctrlr. NICE!
…
It was not an easy task. Bugs bugging me all the time. But in the end I was smart enough to predict were one could occur, so lots of them were exterminated! 🙂
…
My final panel in the Ctrlr don’t have bugs, indeed. But my standalone as. My uilistboxes don’t unselect. No problem, I’m not perfect either.
…
I was no experience in Lua, nor enough kwnoledge in MIDI and I’m not a designer, but I think that, in the end, it is a nice panel. A one week, sleeping fast, job.
…
I cannot upload it in the dashboard – maybe there is some internet problem -, so I upload it to my Drive! I hope you open it and enjoy it – even if don’t have the keyboard. Just follow the GoogleDrive’s link.
…
Thanks a lot, guys!
…

Behringer Neutron patch saver

by

Patch saver for the Behringer Neutron

v1.3 2020-03-15

This panel can also be called “advanced patch mapper” and is not a full patch loader/saver as the Behringer Neutron does not support the load/save of programs or the manipulation of all its program parameters by Midi NRPN/CC/Sysex messages except for about 40 of them (documented on p27 and 28 of the manual).

In comparison to the Sunny Synths’ Model D and Grandmother panels, this Neutron panel is thus offering much more possibilities of exchange between the synth and your PC or your controller thanks to the addition of the Neutron OS 2.0.

Features:

  • Behringer Neutron interface with similar way of working as actual synthesizer.
  • Panel background adapted based on “Red” overlay from Heinakroon
  • Top row of support “screens” with old look
  • Visual feedback by using “LED” ring buttons and indication of the value (on change or on click)
  • “Intelligent” display following parameters selection: OSC and LFO shape blending, LFO shape order change with or without blend
  • All “hidden” 2.0 available for easy visualization and tweaking
  • Bi-directional behavior when using the synth or a controller (only for parameters indicated in p27 and 28 of the Neutron manual)
  • Envelopes graphs handled by mouse or classical ADSR rotary encoders
  • Load / Save programs from individual .syx files
  • Global settings management
  • Easy program renaming
  • Display and export of program parameters as text file
  • Ability to describe 9 input/output colored patch cables with different sources/destinations
  • Programs have a name, author, save date and description. They can be associated to a category
  • Browser of the files on the disk
  • Patch sheet tab with patch sheet for Neutron and other gear (external synths/sequencers)
  • Automatic reading of wav files associated to a patch (in file browser)
  • Manual/Automatic reading of any wav file (in file browser)
  • Standalone versions for PC and Mac
  • v1.3: VST versions for PC (32 and 64 bits)
  • v1.3: VST and AU versions for Mac

The manual can be downloaded from the Sunny Synths’ drive or website www.sunnysynths.com
