I have Express 128 on win7 64. I haven’t had any issues to speak of or problems with timing. I just upgraded to them from old Steinberg Midex 8’s, so I haven’t really hammered them yet. PErhaps someone who’s owned on for longer can comment further.

[Filch]

Same here. I was going over the examples and at first I was feeling overwhelmed, but after more studying I could see what was what. I just need to learn the syntax and get comfortable.

[Filch]

IF it can implemented into CTRLR directly, that would be great. If it takes to much time from other important features, I can try to teach myself enough to make it work. I was studying your midi example and it’s making sense. I wanted to get the Blofeld to respond to the send request first in your example before I started experimenting with my own code, which is how I ended up at checksum.

Here is how the documentation says checksum is calculated. I just realized though that I can just put in 7F and it will all be accepted automatically.

CHK : Sum of all databytes truncated to 7 bits.
The addition is done in 8 bit format, the result is
masked to 7 bits (00h to 7Fh). A checksum of 7Fh is
always accepted as valid.
IMPORTANT: the MIDI status-bytes as well as the
ID’s are not used for computing the checksum.

Made some updates and the files are now on the sourceforge page.

[Filch]

Couldn’t help but notice that your Arpeggiator has been missing an extra G ” title=”Smile” />

[Filch]

I’ll post the files tonight. I finished up most of the grafix work and added the elements that were still missing, like the Unison/Glide modes. Arpeggiator is going to have to wait until I learn how to implement LUA scripting into this.

[Filch]

I see. Thanks for the update.

[Filch]

What’s a good LUA IDE for windows 7 x64? I tried to get LUAEclipse working in the latest eclipse, but it fails to install properly.

[Filch]

Big YAY for the LUA implementation. I spent a long time converting Sysex to CC to Hex’s the last couple nights for this script. I utilized some spreadsheets, word, etc to do calculations for me. OH well!! lol

I have some nice organized spreadsheets now that will probably be useful for the LUA programming. Guess I should spend the evening studying up some LUA. ” title=”Smile” />

[Filch]

Okay, that makes sense to me. I’m going to have to give this script a run through when I get back home and have some time.

Question about one of the lines of code in the part that converts sysex parameters coupled to CC’s:
[i:im0vq7ck]mox.OutputMidiMsg port, 176, ccIndex(i), cint("&H" & sysex(sysexIndexCC(i)))[/i:im0vq7ck]

What is [i:im0vq7ck]176[/i:im0vq7ck] referring to here?

[Filch]

I understand that the format for these parameters are 10 byte messages as specified by Waldorf for both the Blofeld and Microwave XT (probably most of their synths).

Is the reason you’re parsing the sysex strings into 10 byte message chunks is because CTRLR chokes on anything bigger, or because the microwaveXT hardware chokes if it gets bigger chunks too fast?

I’ve updated most of the script for Blofeld including adding a fourth part for converting parameters 256 – 383. I’ll attach it here shortly once I go over it all again to make sure my numbers are right.

–edit–
VBScript is not postable here, so I’ve attached as a notepad file

[Filch]

I definitely plan to, I wanted to see if I could get that vbscript running to update the panel first. I’ll get a chance to look over the code tonight and see if I can work it over and customize it.

[Filch]

The filchBlofeld is almost complete. It’s gotten to the point where all features are pretty much working, but I’ve been obsessing over graphic details, uniformity, spacing, etc. It’s eating up a lot of time.

I’ve decided to put this ctrlr out there right now for people to play with as it is. About 95% of everything is in there and working. I’ll be continuing to make updates and changes and working my way towards "final" release. I’ll be following in the footsteps of msepsis and starting a sourceforge page this project.

http://filchblofeld.sourceforge.net/

I’ll be putting up the files in the next day or so. I’ll also be editing my first post in this thread to track the changes made and indicate what else is planned in the future.

[Filch]

Is adding buttons and imageButtons still in the works for Radio Groups?

[Filch]

Avoid ModulatorValue expressions completely and try using a FixedImageSlider and setting values specifically :

"whatever"=52
"whatever 2"=53
"whatever 3"=54

or just the numbers if no value label is required :

52
53
54
etc

That is how I’m doing my octave and semitone knobs, they jump exactly to the right frame. I don’t even need to change my image export to the exact frames. Mine are all at 128 regardless of how many steps.

*edited for better coherence*

FYI
user dnigrin here and on the shruthi forums have a mostly finished panel for the shruthi-1 already.

@Layerz2
I hadn’t even realized there was a global variable ability. This could be used for a workaround on some of my issues of combined controller values.

[Filch]

I’m pretty much feature complete on my Blofeld panel, except for the stuff that will require LUA. Your work on the Microwave has been a huge inspiration for the work I’ve put into mine, and I’ve also learned quite a bit from your example. You’ll definitely be getting some credit when I post my panel.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

[Filch]

Did you somehow get that patch parameter dump script built into the panel? Or is there something in the background?

[Filch]

release 574

Getting some change in how the background image is displayed. No more custom settings? I was using xLeft+yTop+onlyReduceInSize
Now every setting I use doesn’t work for how I’m using my background.

The field ??uiImagePanelLayoutCustom appears do do nothing.

Also, Getting crashes again trying to send objects to Tabs

[Filch]

Panel is looking excellent. I really love the evolution of the panel in the beginning of the video. Very cool.

Good idea with the dedicated sourceforge page. I might have to do that myself.
