Previous Next Version history (current: v1.3 [2021-08-23])

v1.3 [2021-08-23]

New:

  • Internal MIDI Device dialog selection window is now accessible from the Settings page
  • Version checking on startup. If version difference confirmed, then the panel will delete the “.delete_me_to_reload_resources” file and will suggest to reload the instance

Other notes:

  • Emergency” button now called by double click instead of mouse down event
  • Get file” routines rewritten
  • Request LCD mode on startup

v1.2.7 [2021-08-15]

New:

  • Timbre randomizer

Fixes:

  • Arp Swing value interpretation fixed (-100~+100)
  • OSC 1 Control 2 now transmits the correct SysEx for DWGS Waveform

Other notes:

  • Code cleanup
  • Some color schemes tweaking

Important!
If you encounter missing knob image after panel update, then delete the file

C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingReMS2000.delete_me_to_reload_resources

and restart the panel.

v1.2.3 [2021-08-08]

New:

  • Add some extra compatibility for reading dumps (some “Hands-On” MIDI dump was found and processed)

Other notes:

  • Mac VST instance was exported for this release. It is fully untested though.
  • Further CC => SysEx controls transition.
    Helps to avoid problems with Dual / Split voice modes value interference, when both layers are set to the same non-global midi-channel.
    Maybe it is a bad decision as sysex narrows down the automation capabilities (MS2K can barely handle more than 1 automation at a time). Time (or feedback) will tell
  • Looks like microKORG SysEx dumps are compatible too, quick test with no issues

v1.2 [2021-08-04]

New:

  • Program Play mode values are processing now (experimental)
  • New “Initialize program bank” option

Fixes:

  • If save to disk operations cancelled, no unnecessary actions will be executed
  • OSC2 Semitone bounds fixed for synth <=> vocoder transitions

Other notes:

  • “Rename program” dialog will not allow to input more than 12 characters now
  • Further code cleanup, some methods were united during this process

v1.1 [2021-08-02]

New:

  • Color scheme change implemented
  • “Request data on program change” button added

Fixes:

  • No more random synthesizer config rewriting on startup
  • Fixed annoying behaviour of the Settings button on startup. Still have no 100% sure it will always work

Other notes:

  • “Request synthesizer settings on startup” button was removed from settings. This operation will run by default
  • Ctrlr panel menu is hidden for restricted instances now. It still accessible with “emergency” [+] button on the settings page
  • Rearranged settings page
  • More typos fixed
  • Timers code rewritten
  • Redone timbre selection operations a bit
  • Code cleanup, data flow corrected to avoid excessive data sending and looping

v1.0 Release [2021-07-31]

New:

  • Now it is possible to control preset and bank selection on the hardware (“HARDWARE” selector)
  • Quick select program on the synthesizer by right clicking the “HARDWARE” selector
  • Change sequencer values by dragging mouse on the graphic
  • “Request settings from synthesizer” button in the panel settings menu

Fixes:

  • Vocoder => Synth (and vice versa) transition when selecting a preset now works correctly

Other notes:

  • Panel settings now stored in an external file (“[APPDATA]/ReMS2000/config.json”), so any instance of this panel will use them
  • Altered timbre assign behaviour – “Detune” knob is only available when “Unison” timbre mode is selected
  • Using midi channel data when parsing and sending the “program change” messages
  • Some global => local vars improper usage eliminated
  • Slight UI Tweaking
