@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!
I’ll see if I can’t find it when I get in from work. @possemo: chill man. This is a collaborative effort. I edited one of the first of these panels made by Mr Mean. he was cool ,m as I’m sure Opuswerk would be. We’re all in the same boat, don’t forget! It’s all a learning curve and we are all sharing. Everybody who does stuff gets credit. Nobody is stealing. Chill.
So great to see this thread and panel still going! I’m opening the MKS up tomorrow and putting the Vecoven mod in.
Well done to all of you who’ve been still beavering away refining the panel 😀
Top man, thanks. Ready when you are 🙂
Top werk dude 😉 I too have been rushed off my feet with work and not using the MKS for a while, but I get my console back from the service shop this week, so will give it a good working over. Well done and thanks for all of your hard work!
Hey there,
Sorry I’ve not had a chance to test this yet as I’ve been very busy at work. I’ll get it out by the weekend and give some feedback.
Well done, again!
I’m happy to do whatever I can but I don’t know LUA at all. The only way I got my version of DMM’s PG to work was by laboriously changing the device ID byte of every slider and parameter and saving two panels.
I can test it though. It seems to work. I get this error every time I start it up (attached). What CTRLR version was it compiled with?

Hi Muve,
If your synth is set up and working (through a MIDI interface) in Ableton, and you can record MIDI (forget about ctrlr for now) then your synth is ok. When in standalone mode, all ctrlr does is send and receive sysex, which controls the parameters of your synth. It has nothing whatsoever to do with any audio.
If you are using ctrlr as a VST plugin from within Ableton, and you are unable to record MIDI notes by playing your synth, this has nthiong to do with ctrlr.
Go into your MIDI prefs in Ableton and enable your MIDI interface as an input. If it is a multi, enable all of them
Enable the same as outputs.
Make sure you can play your synth and record MIDI notes. If you can, then open ctrlr, choose the correct MIDI port and channel from within ctrlr’s MIDI prefs and away you go.But ctrlr doesn’t do audio in any way, MIDI only, and best used as a VST from within a compatible host (Ableton; Logic; DP etc)
I’m not sure if this is even what you are needing, but if I can be of any help just shout

Sorry, I’ve been mad busy at work.
So, with absolute total credit to Mr. Mean, here is my (very basic) adaptation of his most excellent JX-10 panel.
As we all know, the MKS-70 is basically a JX-10 in a rack, so with a simple deviceID and tone byte byte change, this panel now controls both Tone A and Tone B. I am not clever enough to actually make these panels, as I don’t know LUA (and don’t have time to learn it right now) but I do know sysex, so what I did was just create a seperate panel for each tone and just open them both in an instance of ctrlr. Hey presto, it works!
There are limitations, which Mr. Mean has tried to overcome in a further adaptation of the panel, but I think he hit a brick wall with the aged intransigence of the thing, so this is it (for now at least)
1. It will not send the visible slider settings for the non-visible panel i.e if you are looking at tone B and change patch only the visible sliders will move (the tone window you have foremost in ctrlr)
2. You cannot use the program and tone select functions (though the tone select function sort of works up to a point)Have fun and again, all credit goes to Mr. Mean for his patience in creating such a damn useful tool,

Happy to test anything..I have a real PG-800 as well, so can verify functionality with all of the hardware – if you can find and afford one, pick up an MKS; they are great little boxes – got mine from Pete Waterman’s studio years ago on eBay! – apparently “at least one Kylie record made with it” LOL
You da man, Atom – sorry for hassling you..keep up the good work 🙂
bump 🙂
any chance of the program dump? I’ve tried and failed to figure out how to get it to work
thanks Atom
when you look in your AU manager, click on the leftmost column (got Logic written on it) at the top and it will arrange the AU’s in the order of the ones that aren’t working at the top. Is there a Ctrlr-Au in the list?
If so, click its little box twice and it will try to validate
if it isn’t in the list, I’m not sure. I do know ML only runs Logic 9.1.8 in 64-bit mode only, so no 32bit AU’s will be scanned and won’t show up. There is no 32bit plugin bridge anymore in ML, which is why I won’t change (one of many reasons)
Hope this helps
Hi,
Latest Mac build (1274) fails AU validation with the following:
Test MIDI
ERROR: -4 IN CALL MusicDeviceSendMIDIIt allows me to tick it and open Logic.
Loads fine and seems to control stuff..
Will keep you posted
thanks,

And IMO ctrlr is already helping MIDI. More ppl need to know about it. I tell all my music mates about it. Ctrlr rocks!
MIDI is still around because it hasn’t been bettered yet. The new Hi-resolution protocol builds on what DS built. Big up to Dave Smith!
I was an Atari man myself – Pro 12. Had an MSQ-700 before that. That was badass. It didn’t even call itself a sequencer. It called itself a “Note Recorder” Oldschool 🙂
Hoorah! Testing now with the 2.7beta of Monstrum
Many, many thanks guys 😀
EDIT: I’ve literally just used a command to move up one tone on both A and B. I guess one of those bytes is the tone (A or B) and one the actual tone number (I went from tone 6 to 7 on A and tone 23 to 24 on B if that[‘s any help)
You can only select tones 1-100 over sysex for any given patch
Hmm…well, the swap tone button doesn’t send any sysex it seems. Thesysex needed to edit these tones is as follows..dunno if upon seeing one of these trings LUA could “swap” tone facia’s (I may be way off target here and this may be useless)
change tone A:
F0 41 36 00 24 30 01 26 08 F7
change tone B:
F0 41 36 00 24 30 01 1D 17 F7
If these are no good, let me know what it is I can do to help 🙂
