The demo can be downloaded here: http://www.soundtower.com/synth/microwave1.htm
I don’t quite remember what the limitations in the demo were. If it refuses to send some of the sysex it won’t be of much use of course. I do have a registration key (ie I bought the full version) but obviously cannot provide that due to licensing terms. Maybe I can still help out. I’ll PM you after I have installed the software in my new Win7 environment.
Errm, I would like to second this request.
” title=”Smile” /> The 888 is a great unit and a ctrlr would be nice, especially for automations. Looking at the manual, the MIDI implementation seems to be rather straightforward…Hey, just stumbled upon this project, really like the idea and design decisions, plus the fact that a ctrlr is already available for one of my favourite hardware synths (Alpha Juno).
Anyway, I also love my Microwave I Rev A V2.0 and would like to support this request. If it turns out that per parameter sysex docs are indeed not available from the manufacturer or anywhere else and reverse engineering the messages is the only option (what mamonu suggested, by using the Access programmer) there is a software editor from SoundTower (yes, those guys *cough*) that has support for most parameters. It should be possible to analyze its output with a MIDI monitor. Its sysex implementation seems to be a little buggy though – I found that my Microwave didn’t like some of the edits, LFO2 rate for example. (Note: I have only used this under WINE so far which may have caused "interesting" side effects, unlikely though.)
I’ll see if I can have a look at this and maybe collect some of the sysex it sends. The SoundTower editor could also help to inspire GUI design I guess, as it does a somewhat decent job of presenting the parameters in a logical way.
