Topic: Waldorf MicroQ
Hi all first post, just want to say thanks especially for the mopho, tx81z , mbase01 and mb33 vsts. The mohpo and tx81z are working ok for me. I am yet to try out the other two although I have the hardware sitting here waiting;))
The Waldorf MicroQ would be great to run as a vst as the knobs are a little buggy but it sounds pretty good to my ears and would thrive with an improved editability factor.

[url:2ppxozmr]http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2008/03/mqedit-waldorf-micro-q-java-editor.html[/url:2ppxozmr]For reference, the best hardware editor I have found for integration with a sequencer is the MICRONAU plugin for mac which allows instant manual sysex patch dumps from the hardware into the vst with all softknobs updating. The plugin also saves settings for total recall when reopening the project, and remembers all midi routings, as well as allowing for midi controllers. Its brilliant in Ableton Live & I recommend anyone with this instrument and an Intel Mac to check it out.
Other instruments I would love to have vsts for in future are the Korg X5DR (little rackmount 90’s rompler with great fx) and the Korg Z1 which while having lots of onboard control, throws up so many parameters that a better visual representation would work wonders on a superb sounding synth. I also have an original wavestation AD which would be great as a vst, but would probably not have much demand as the korg digital legacy package seems to be enough for most people.
I am not much of a programmer but work in graphic design by trade and would be happy to throw up an interface for a possible solution to this topic!
Anyway thanks for the great work, and will definitely donate at some point soon.
Cheers
