In your sysex messages, what does the variable z6 do?
For example in your VCF Cutoff uiSlider, you have the formula:
F0 41 10 00 00 7B 12 10 00 0A 00 ms ls z6 F7
Regards,
Hi dnaldoog,
z6 is check sum.
z means Roland style, 6 is bytes to calculate check sum.
In this example, check sum is calculated from “10 00 0A 00 ms ls”.
Thanks,
Well I knew about z5, but not z6! I didn’t realise the number indicates how many bytes to check!
I wrote a rather difficult (for me) function to calculate the checksum of combined MSB and LSB values, but I could have done this all along!
Thank you!
hi, how can save a patch in the editor ? i try send a snapshot but not work (AU Ctrlr plug), i don’t know why change midi channel and the Tb go crazy in midi panic thx
ok when i recall a snapshot in the midi tab of panel the midi channel change, i must change at default midi ch 2 then i send the snapshot
why ?
Hi,
I have not used snapshot, so I didn’t check if it works with TB-3 Editor.
I will check mechanism of snapshot and make TB-3 Editor work with it.
Thank you
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. this inspired me to go buy another TB-3 (i had sold mine) and use my A-01 to control it… but i’m still having a blast with this. wish i could use this on an iPad. one thing: you should use the classic Roland font for the title “TB-3 SOUND EDITOR” section: https://www.dafont.com/pbio.font
ok thanks again
This is the best free editor I’ve found! Really opens up the TB-3 and makes it more than *just an acid machine* I especially like the addition of the sine wave, cross modulation, and pitch offset settings 🙂 thank you so much!
I did notice a bug though..when opening a previously saved panel, all four assignable parameters are set to the default “EFX 2 TR PAN SELECT” instead of the previously assigned parameters. This would require reassigning of the parameters every time a saved patch is sent to the TB-3. I hope this is something that you could address.
Thanks again!
Hey,
Thank you so much for this!
The standalone version it’s working great, but when I want to run it as VST I’m getting these errors (screenshots):

Could you please tell me how I can fix it?
Cheers!
