UB-Xa Editor for Mac and PC

Image
Behringer UB-Xa Editor    Latest version UB-Xa VX Quick demo of saving and loading a bank    Update  Just a cosmetic update with a better layout that fits on 2 screens. Everything needed to edit a patch is now on the first screen. The second is for Atrophy and Globals. Enjoy!   Mac versions were built on an iMac running Catalina. Plugins tested with Live 10, Logic 10.6 and Cubase LE 10.5. The plugins were compiled using Reaper. Users report that the standalone app works on later M1 Macs but the  plugins do not. YMMV   PC version is standalone only and has been tested on Windows 10    Downloads All files have been scanned with AVG Antivirus. The editor is free and comes with no warranties. Play at your own risk. You will need to grant access in Security and Privacy on the Mac as I am unknown developer :( UB-Xa VX Mac Standalone   UB-Xa VX Mac VST     UB-Xa VX Mac AU   UB-Xa PC Standalone

CV to MIDI Interface for Analogue Sequencer

Image
This is another project based on Arduino and the Pro Micro. Many years ago with the help of friend and fellow musician/programmer, Linden Owen, we produced the CARP1601. This was very loosely based on the ARP1601 analogue sequencer. It was never commercially viable due to the high component count and the cost of those components. 19 pots, 19 knobs, 17 LEDs, 24 switches, 15 jack sockets and then add on PCB, components case and PSU. Anyway, it was a fun project! Note this project will work with any analogue sequencer that has Gate and CV outputs. Voltages may need to be scaled in the sketch using the map function. 3 CARP 1601s with the SYNC24 and MIDI Interface We built about 6 in the end, sold a couple and I was left with 3 units that I have used constantly for more than 20 years. In 2022 I decided to make some improvements mainly to the gate switches. But towards the end of the 2022 I realised it would be relatively easy to add a board to the CARP rack that could provide MIDI Out and p...

Arduino Pro Micro Projects

The Pro Micro  How to get the projects If you are interested in building any of these projects please contact me for details. I don't supply any parts but you can get the Pro Micro and other parts from eBay etc.  You can contact me via the comments sections. Alternatively,  email me at  gmail - my name is chaz riff but without the space ;) Behringer 2-XM Polyphonic Controller This is the latest project - a four voice controller for the Behringer 2-XM. This is based on the Oberheim SEM which was the synth module that was in the famous FVS (Four Voice Synthesiser) from 1978. This project uses 2 Pro Micros connected via the TX and RX pins. I needed 2 because it requires 32 ins and outs.        FVC connected to 2-XMs More info  here Low Cost Polyphonic Keyboard Controller for mono synths A much simpler and cheaper alternative to the 2-XM controller. Very cheap to build and still has an on board polyphonic ADSR. All controls are handled with CCs f...
