I also cannot get Ctrlr to work in Reaper (v5). When I load it up, it tells me that it cannot open the MIDI ports, and no amount of tinkering will get it to work. It works fine in standalone mode alongside it though.
Setting everything to channel 1 instead of channel 3 made it work. That should definitely go in the documentation! 🙂
@robohymn
Is that just a mock-up, or is it a panel you could share? Looks great. I actually found this panel a little hard to use (though still usable) because the controls for Tone 1 and Tone 2 are identical, and I think that setting them to different colors would make it even better.I also had issues with setting the channels on the MKS70. I believe I had to reset everything to channel 1 for it to work. I didn’t dig too much into this though. Could you see if it’s working with channel 1?
It could be that you need to replace the strings in the sysex messages to the correct unit, but I thought Vecoven’s OS was smart enough to avoid this trap…
The best would be to monitor your MIDI input and change a value on the synth, and check if the beginning bytes of the string match with what the panel is sending.

I e-mailed Fred Vecoven today, and he also suggested the Channel 1 fix. I haven’t tried it yet but will do so later today.
@robohymn
Thank you for your input! As long as it is friendly and informed (which it was), I am always up for it. And I do use Reaper, so I will check into that once I get all this working.I will try more MIDI monitoring if I don’t see any improvements.
@midiquestions : did you activate the sysex messages on your MKS70 ? What OS is your JX10? This panel is made to work with the Vecoven OS, but it should also work with the previous one on the Upper Tone only.
@opuswerk
I have the latest version of Vecoven on the JX-10, v3.07 I believe. I just bought it this month. Everything works fine internally on the synth, and it does receive program changes, so the MIDI In clearly is working, and the OS chip installed fine. But I can’t edit anything in the tone or patch parameters via CTRLR.In the MIDI menu of the JX, I have set everything to “Recv,” which should mean that it is getting messages in for SysEx and CC messages. I have set all of the MIDI channels to “3” (upper, lower, and control), and I set CTRLR up to output on channel 3 for this panel. Still, no dice.
CTRLR works with my other synths in the rig. I have no idea why it’s not working with the JX-10…
hmmmm. I never got such an error. Care to tell me how to replicate it?
What @robohymn wrote below is what’s happening for me as well.
And for what it’s worth, I cannot get any version of this, even older versions that don’t open in panel mode, to work with my JX-10 v3.07. Every parameter group is set to “Recv,” but all that works from Ctrlr is the patch change feature — no patch or tone editing. No idea why. All of my other Ctrlr panels work with their respective hardware, so it’s not like I can’t figure out Ctrlr as a whole…
I tried loading it, but I got a callback error, something about the envelope state?
Thanks @opuswerk! I can’t wait to try it.
@midiquestions I think I have an older version, as I haven’t installed my full v4 mod yet. Too much soldering and I’m too busy right now!
@quadraspleen
I would love to get a copy of the older version, the one that looks like this:
http://llamamusic.com/images/ctrlr2.jpgThe thing that puts me off about the v4 version is all of the extra knobs that won’t do anything…I would find that distracting while programming.
Wow man, I am trying to be helpful. Could you be more offensive? You must be having a really bad day…
And FTR, I *am* asking him, assuming he is subscribed to this thread; actually nobody asked you for your reply. I have no idea how this site works or who puts what where; I am just throwing out a suggestion. The only JX-10 editor that comes up in a search right now is the 4.x one, which many users will not be able to use.
Great! In the meantime, is it possible to get the latest version of the Vecoven 3.x editor back in the “panels” listing? It took me fifteen minutes of digging through this thread to find it. Folks may not realize that 4.x is not just updated but a different system.
Hi, thanks for making this. I have a JX-10 and will be purchasing a Vecoven 3.whateverisshippingrightnow ROM chip. As much as I’d love PWM and the other features, I don’t fully trust my soldering skills to do such heavy mods, so right now I will be avoiding 4.x.
