      Creating a panel with CTRL to edit a synthesizer patch one must know LUA or can do without?

      I’m asking this question because being a simple architect that knows how to deal with sys-ex, I’d be in trouble if I had to program with LUA.

      Again, without knowing LUA what results can I expect?

      Without music life would be a mistake

        Without LUA you can do a basic control surface with communication in both directions, you won’t do patch dumps/patch sending cause that requires device specific logic, witch is impossible to program for EVERY device, that’s why LUA is introduced. So you can build that part yourself.

          If you’re unsure of Lua, I’d recommend just work out a panel for your synth that does the basic stuff – provide sliders/knobs/comboBoxes to cover all/most/any of your synth’s parameters without even worrying about getting into Lua. I’m sure somewhere along the way you might think how cool it would be if this panel you just designed could just go a little further and take things one level beyond. That’s when you may realize learning a few tasks in Lua might be worth a look.

            Nice thread
            CTRLR is great !
            I don’t understand anything to juce language for now but i organize the panel by layers ,type all params & specific values (over 5000) and i give the panel to database
            and hope a programmer or designer take it as a basis or i start to learn seriously this language

            I have tried to copy paste and "arrange" some texts of microwave and virus with some things i want doing but doesn’t work

            I like really the program management i found CTRLR the best solution for my drum synth
            I have also a microq omega but it’s another story <img decoding=” title=”Very Happy” />
