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...

Behringer 2-XM Polyphonic Controller This is the latest project - a four voice controller for the Behringer 2-XM. The 2-XM is based on the Oberheim SEM which was the synth module that was in the famous FVS (Four Voice Synthesiser) from 1978. I was lucky enough have one of these (courtesy of the record company!) and used it for live and recording until the mid 80s when it died! I still have one of the modules but the rest is long gone. I had given up all hope of ever replacing it until Behringer announced 2-XM which is a faithful but smaller recreation of the modern SEM (2000s). Each 2-XM is actually 2 SEMS  - can you see why it's called the 2-XM ;)  so if you have 2 units and a controller you would have the equivalent of the mighty FVS. More information about ordering and building  here Here is the finished prototype....

 Introduction The TEO-5 editor was built using CTRLR 5.3.198 for Mac and on PC. The Mac versions have been tested on Catalina 10.15 but users of later Macs report it runs as a standalone app on M1 and later. The plugins do not run on Silicon. PC versions have been built on Windows 7 and tested on Windows 10. Special thanks to  RomanKubiak  who developed CTRLR. The editor is free and without warranty. I accept no liability for loss or damage. However, MIDI messages are unlikely your damage your synth and you can always do a firmware reset if you have problems. Installation MIDI Setup Global Settings The editor uses SYSEX and NPRN commands so these must be enabled: 1 Global menu 2 Select the following parameters: 18 - MIDI ParamSend NPRN 19 - MIDI ParamRcv NPRN 20 - MIDI Control On 21 - MIDI Sysex On 22 - MIDI Sysex Cable USB 23 - MIDI Select Out All 24 - MIDI Prog Snd On 25 - MIDI Prog Rcv On Some of these settings are on by default but worth checking.
