    • I have now made a P12 panel. Finalizing some tests with someone from Estonia as I don’t have a P12 myself. Will be published in September or earlier. Thanks for your patience!

        • Hi, sorry but I didn’t see your comment (didn’t get a mail – need to find why) and I’m not often coming on my own panel page). Here is a new year’s present. v1.4 free (soon a v2.0 with categories mgmt, Prophet 12 sound upload, patch randomizer but I’ll ask a small contribution for that one. Also a P12 panel coming); All the best!

    • Hi, P12 panel is almost ready (took some time because it was more complex than expected and that I don’t have a P12 myself). I’m finalizing Layers management (ability to copy layers between programs in banks) then need to make the manual and also pushing DSI to get some sysex to switch layers from Midi IN. So, thx for your patience. Coming soon 🙂

    • Hi F_P_aus_K. The panel is working fine. First thing to check is that you are using Ctrlr version 5.3.201 which is the last good stable one. Can you confirm this? Please contact me by PM and not by leaving comments on this panel as I don’t get any warning that there is a comment. Good that you posted something in the chat so I saw it.

  1. So, after installing a newer version of ctrlr I am getting the name, but now each patch are comming up 3 times:
    P1 Basic Program
    P2 Basic Program
    P3 Basic Program
    P4 Cascades

    what I am doing wrong here?

  2. Hi, first of all thanks for making this editor

    hoping you can help me – it works fine for me in standalone mode (OSX, Motu MTP USB midi i/o) but I cant get the VST inside ableton to recognize the Pro 2. Any ideas?

    • Hi andoce, sorry for late reply. Don’t get a warning when people are posting here on the panel page and I’m not coming on my existing panel pages often.
      Anyway, I have only worked with it in standalone mode.
      Will check VST but cannot promise when
      Will first do it for the panels I’m selling (Model D, Neutron, Grandmother) as some users asked for it and because they don’t have so many parameters. There is a limitation on the number of parameters to be handled as VST (64 max) by Ctrlr but also a workaround for it. Need to test all that. Not as simple as it looks like…
      I have still Ableton 8 Lite so will be able to test.

      Plans are also to make a v1.5 of this free panel (adapted to OS1.4 of the Pro2) but also to put a Pro2 “pro” panel for sale (reads P12 programs, category management, randomizer, FM algorithms).

      Best regards
