Ok gonna give this a shot tonight.  Thanks I will let you know how it goes.

Ok, good, I thought I might be going crazy. 🙂

I made a little more progress last night after I wrote this.  So I guess there is no command to force the MSK-50 to pass the data.  I am thinking I could do a program change but pick the same program.  If I could figure out the command for that.  It seems to except standard CC messages for that as I can change the program via logic.

I will work some more on this tonight.  I feel I am starting to get a handle on it.

Ok the synth in question is the Roland MKS-50 Alpha Juno.

Sorry guess I should have put that at the beginning.  Using the PG-300 that was already developed I was able to add a few sliders and I understand how that works.  I get how to send the Hex data and all that.  I think I have gotten the hang of most of it.  The next thing I am trying to do is to add some buttons to the panel that will do things like change to the next or previous program and retrieve the current slider values from the current patch and set them, I think I know the commands I have to use.

However I can’t seem to find a command that tells the MSK-50 to dump the current patch in the manual.  I am aware that each sound has two section tone and a patch which make up all the patches (which in an of itself is confusing) since a patch makes up a patch.  The manual is just too damn confusing.

I see that I will have to use the (panel:sendMidiMessageNow) but what command do I send?

I figure if I can’t get just one particular patch(tone/patch) I can get a full dump and maybe put that into an array or something if I have to.  I was thinking of trying  to do this anyway as I could then create a dropdown with a list of all the patch names.

Anyway I am a programmer so I should be able to do all this  if I could figure out this damn module, this is where I am stuck.

Are you calling me a dumbass?? 🙂

Nah, OK this is what I thought but I can’t figure out what the command is from the manual.  It is like reading Braille!!

OK I got this last night.  Using a slider I just assigned the choices to numbers who when translated into Bytes had the appropriate switches at 5,6.  Because all the other bits are ignored it works great.  Next up getting the current patch settings.

Thanks

Thanks for this.  I tried it last night, seems like most but not all of the controls work?  I am thinking of skinning it do you know if the person who made it is still on the site?

I use it with a Matrix 1000, and it works.  Doesn’t have all the setting though, there are others that have all the variables.  I use the other to create sounds and they I use the Access panel to tweak them real time in my daw.
