Moog Grandmother patch mapper

Patch mapper for the Moog Grandmother

v3.0 2021-11-21

The panel is only a patch loader/saver on computer as the Moog Grandmother does not support the load/save of programs by sysex dump exchange.

  • Automatic change of all CC# parameters on actual synthesizer at program load
  • Easy program renaming
  • Display and export of program parameters as text file
  • Ability to describe 9 input/output colored patch cables with different sources/destinations
  • Patch cables drawing directly on main panel with adjustable transparency level
  • Ability to display full cables or cable plugs
  • Extra input/output patch points from/to external synths, sequencer and FX chain
  • Programs have a name, author, save date and description. They can be associated to a category

  • Standalone versions for PC and Mac
  • VST versions for PC (32 and 64 bits)
  • VST and AU versions for Mac
  • Extras Midi CC controller number for the buttons without a Moog assigned number so you can adjust them from a hardware controller (still no impact on the synth of course and unfortunately).

Besides the editor, you will also benefit from a complete librarian. It will allow you to manage an image of the content of your Minilogue XD  but also two “disk” banks that are banks only on your PC. From there you are able to perform different program operations between the banks (copy, swap, initialize and move).

On the same tab as the librarian, you will find information and status from the note sequencer (first note only) and from the 4 motion lanes. At this stage, this is read only.

The panel is reading and writing sysex files but also Korg Librarian files (.mnlgxdprog; not .mnlgxdlib).

Features:

  • Korg Minilogue XD interface with same look as actual synthesizer
  • Top “LCD screen” displaying parameter name and full description, CC/NRPN number used (or “No CC”), current and saved values

Roland MKS-7 Editor

Download

I recently purchased a Roland MKS-7. Despite the fact that it is a Juno-106 and TR-707 in a box, it is not as popular as other modules. It’s simply because this is only a preset machine, you can only use the preset voices. You cannot edit the patch, nor can you save your own patches. Fortunately, MKS-7 can be programmed using Midi Sysex and get fully controlled.

I have searched the web, there is not a proper editor for this machine (well actually there is one kiwitechnics patcheditor which is a physical editor and it is expensive, or a Cubase device plugin). So, I went through the service manual and write my own editor. Thanks to Ctrlr, I made this one in only a couple of days. And now, I can edit the voice and save my own patches. This can be used as a VST plugin and all the parameters can be automated in DAW (I have tested it on Ableton and Cubase). Hope you will enjoy it.

 

MKS-7 is a multi-timbral machine with 4 midi channels and 7 voices (that’s why it is named MKS-7). Channel 1 is Melody section with 2 voices, Channel 2 is Bass section with 1 voice, Channel 3 is Chord section with 4 voices and Channel 10 is Rhythm section. Although you can change the channels of your own choice, every time you turn it off, the changes are gone.

There is a Whole Mode, which only applies to Chord section, can provide all the 6 voices at once (get the 2 extra voices from the Melody section), which essentially makes it a full fledged Juno-106.

This editor can only deal with 1 channel at a time, the Midi channel can be set in the MIDI drop down menu that comes with the Ctrlr. Simply set the output device channel to the corresponding ones on the MKS-7. Namely, channel 1 for Melody, 2 for Bass and 3 for Chord. The Whole Mode button can only operate on Chord section. Also, for Bass section only a few parameters can be changed (see the service manual for details).

You can select factory presets using the UP/Down buttons. However, the panel’s sliders or buttons will not be updated to reflect the actual parameters of the factory presets. This is because the MKS-7 is not sending any MIDI messages back to the editor (MKS-7 has no MIDI out at all). However, for USER patches, you can save the edited patch to hard disk and load it back with all the  parameters set correctly on the panel.

To setup Ctrlr VST in a DAW, you need to set the correct MIDI routing. See the following pics.
