Roland RD88 Editor Panel

This is a free stand alone editor built using CTRLR. Tested on Mac 10.15 Catalina and Windows 7 and Windows 10. Users tell me that my editors also run on later M1 Macs. Let me know in the comments if you can confirm this.

Features:

  • Fast recall of all Scene parameters including Common, Tones, Zones and effects
  • Rename scenes - you still have to remember press "Write" to store on RD88
  • Handy buttons for creation of Splits and Layers
  • Mute buttons for each Tone
  • Over 3000 tones are accessible from the Tone Tabs
  • Standalone versions for Mac and PC 




Here's a link to the video demo.

RD-88 AU Plugin does not run in Logic 10.6

You can edit all the 90 MFX effects BUT I have only added the parameter names and ranges for the ones I use - about 10 effects. Sliders for each parameter are there when you recall an effect but many are just labelled Parameter # and the range is set to 0-127. It would be a massive undertaking to program each one. There are 3 MFX + IFX = 360 possible effects, then there can be 20 parameters for each = 7200. It would be a lot of lines of code.

It looks to be great job you offer here. But for a novice like me, I wonder how this work with the RD-88 ?
Is it to get a better handling and view of all paramters of the keyboard?
Is it simply enough to connect the RD-88 to the computer via USB the default driver? Should anything be required, like the Roland Cloud ?

Could you explain how to use the effects: DJFX Looper or BPM Looper ? I wonder if it can be use as a simple looper; to play on top of a repeatitive bass line ?

It works on Windows with the RD88 Roland driver. You can access all RD88 parameters and effects. You can create splits and layers and easily access all the banks of sounds. You must set the RD88 to Midi Channel 16. Watch the demo videos for more info. I have never used the loopers.
