If you do the DP4 / DP2 you would definitely be my hero. I meant to work more on ctrlr panels, but i really lack time at the moment.

Thanks for sharing your work in progress.
I discovered the same painfull thing with the VST index. Had to go and set all my parameters once I had finished. Also be weary that their numbers are the ones the DAW fetches, so it’s best if they starto from 0 upwards.

I grabbed your panel, as I’m curious about the graphics stuff, but it seems you didn’t export the graphics data going along with the panel, so I only get sliders.

That sounds great. Btw, I’m also pretty good with photoshop, but have no experience with UI designs. So I’m very curious about how you’re gonna go at theming the panel, as I wish to do the same with the one for the MKS70 / JX10. Would be great if you could share your working process.

I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that checksum. It also caused me quite a few headaches 🙂

Hello Jase,

I’ve been working on a MKS70 panel. I believe the MKS80 shouldn’t be too far from that.
It was my first panel, and it took a little while to totally understand how everything works. But it really wasn’t that hard in the end.I tried to build from an existing panel, but that proved somehow tricky, so instead I went from scratch while looking at the same MKS50 panel you mention to work on.

The easiest to get started would be to get the sysex implementation of the MKS80 and copy the MPG80 layout with CTRLR kobs and sliders. You can always theme the GUI after everything is working.

The program manager, as far as I know isn’t working properly yet.

Good luck with your endeavour 🙂

oh, that’s very good to know.
Do the number of parameters have anything to do with the VST Index number? or is it independent?

Hey Quadraspleen, here’s a newer version with a few bugs fixed. Still want to do more with the GUI, but that will have to wait a little bit longer until all the functionalities are working. I also really want to have a more graphical envelope editor rather than what’s there currently. I really like to see what my enveloppes do 🙂

Also I have something to ask of you if possible. Could you confirm or not that CTRLR receives sysex from the mks when you change a patch?
I’m trying to work out if something is maybe wrong with my mks as it’s not working at the moment here. As I’m beta testing vecoven’s rewritten mks OS, I’m not sure how the older versions should behave, but we don’t loose anything trying.

The easiest way to do so, would be to use the built-in MIDI monitor of ctrlr and copy paste here what comes in the input if you change the patch (be it from the synth, or from the panel).

Please keep me posted.

Cheers,

H.

You can change the maximum amount of VST index exports in ctrlr preferences. I’ve set mine to 512 in case 256 is not enough.

Hey quadraspleen,

Here’s the updated version. That should fix the error message you’re getting. I also changed a few things about the layout. Not quite there where I want it, but I guess it’s the first time I ever design a GUI, so it will take a bit of time before I figure out how to design things properly. I find it a bit crowded at the moment…

When I find time again, I’ll be working on having the panel parameters update when a patch is loaded.

Anyways, please let me know your thoughts 🙂

I woked some more on it today and fixed a few things. Will post the new version up tomorrow.
There’s some slight layout change and a few bugs correcting. I’d love some help on getting the modulator to reflect the current state of the patch if anyone has some time to spare 🙂
As i’m currently running a beta version of the rewritten OS by vecoven, there might be some things that i can’t test properly. So all extra testing would be really great.

I have worked a bit more on the panel, and I hope the current version will be more useable for everyone. I’ve attached it in the post hereunder

You can now edit both tones from the panel and edit all of the available parameters on the synth. If something isn’t working correctly, or as expected, please let me know so i can test and fix it.

More needs to be done about the UI and look/feel of the panel, but this should allow everyone to test this and try it out with their mks70 or jx10, as the MIDI implementation is fairly similar.
I also still want to get the parameters to update on patch changes, like the great panel for the Matrix1000 does. If time allows that might get done today if it’s possible, as there’s quite a lot of parameters to program…

Yes, it’s happening with uiCombo lists.

I’ve attached the current state of the panel hereunder so you can see what does it wrong.

Hello,

I was away for a while and didn’t get to work on this more. However, I’ll be finishing this up as fast as possible and will post updated versions of the panel in this thread.
I have also updated my MKS70, so I will be able to test the editing of tone B as well.

@superlewing:
I have been struggling with the dropdown lists. It seems they work when I set them up outside of a uiGroup, but only send one value once I drag them in a uiGroup. I still don’t know wether that is a ctrlr bug, or if it’s me doing it in a wrong way.

Hello Davros,

Did you set the MIDI thru of CTRLR correctly, as well as the correct MIDI devices?

Hi Superlewing,

Glad to see you’re interested. Maybe you can tell me if parameters of Tone A already update with the panel as it is. Currently on my machine, the value update but the changes are not applied. I’m suspecting it’s a problem of the 1.05 OS. It would be great if you could confirm that, as my machine is just out of repair, and if something is wrong, I have to bring it back 🙂

Cheers,

H.

The current version of my version of the MKS70/JX10 panel can be found here

Several things still need to be done on the panel, namely:

Hello Atom,

The standalone version crashes every time i try to open it. I’m on OSX 10.8.5

You need to replace the 00 by xx z4. Z4 is the checksum Atom created for all the Roland gear, so i suspect this would help you there.

Also make sure all your Sysex command is either all in caps or all in lowercase. While working on a panel for the MKS-70, I had issues when mixing upper and lower cases, so i decided to use lowercases only and it’s now working. Unfortunately the synth doesn’t update the Tone parameter values i’m sending it. It’s as if they need a validation of some sort.

Hi,

Due to my synth getting back from repair, I wanted to quickly try those panels. Unfortunately, I still don’t get any slider displaying…

I did however salvage the sysex info and am trying to build a panel on my own next tot he d50 one i’m also working on.

I have one question regarding the MKS70. For some reason, I can send sysex to it, and the value of the corresponding parameter will change on the synth. However, it doesn’t update until I turn the Alpha-Dial, and the screen keeps on blinking until the Alpha-Dial is turned as well. I’m very sure I’m missing something very obvious here, but if some kind soul could give me a hand it’d be awesome 🙂

Cheers
