ROLAND JUO6A CTRLR PANEL

Image
Here is a CTRLR panel for the Roland Boutique JU06a synth.  Issues and info The panel is now in its 5th revision: Full implementation requires MIDI DIN in and out You can upload all the patches from the JU06a Patch dump and program names will only work over MIDI DIN In Logic Song Position Pointer causes the editor to crash - even when it is turned off! Program change only sent via USB CCs are sent from the panel so you could use it over USB as a controller You cannot change the Model type from software If you change Model type you have to upload the patches again When you get patches each one will load, the panel will update until patch 8-8 is reached JU-06A Mac JU-06A AU Plugin JU06A Mac VST JU-06A PC There are some features that you need to be aware of. SysEx data is only generated in CHAIN mode SysEx data is only sent from the 5 pin MIDI Out Data range is 0 - 255 in SysEx but 0 - 127 in CC mode On the JU06a I route CCs to USB only - reduces data You can set the editor to MIDI ch...

Kenton Pro Solo Editor plus SYNC24 Breakout Box

Big update for the panel. You can now save a bank of names - it's just the text but useful as a memo of your patches. You can also save and load individual patches to and from the Pro Solo via the editor. The panel has been completely rewritten and is licence free. It runs on Mac to at least Catalina. Standalone and AU component.  Pro Solo Edit plugin running in Logic 10.6 File Dialog Box - Save and Load Patch Na mes and Patch Sysex Downloads: Pro SOlo MK3 Control Mac Pro Solo MK3 Control AU Plugin Pro Solo MK3 Control VST Mac More about the Pro Solo here Sync24 Breakout Box Integrating analogue sequencers with a DAW is easy if you can send Midi Clock and Reset to your sequencer. Fortunately, the Pro Solo can send Midi Clock from any of its 3 Aux outputs. But a neater solution is to set the MIDI THRU to Sync 24 and extract Clock and Reset from there. It means you don't have to use your Aux CV outs which in my case are connected to my SEM. Kenton S24 setting DIN Sync or SYNC 24 ...

ELECTROBOX for the Nord Electro 5/6

Image
Arduino and the development of ElectroBox I already had experience of Arduino when I built a drawbar controller to use with Hammond apps like VB-3 and B-3x. The original code for this came from GMLabs D9U project and Guido  Scognamiglio  posted all the info on GitHub: https://github.com/ZioGuido/Crumar_D9U GSi Homepage GM Lab                                     I have implemented an LFO which cyclically adds or subtracts values from the Pitch Bend data. This is basically a software generated triangle wave LFO that is added to the Pitch Bend output. Crude but effective. The LFO is generated from a wavetable so it would very easy to have a number of different waveforms such as square or saw. The pots are programmable and there is an input for an expression pedal. Pitch Wheel option with expression pedal input ElectroBox V2 - joystick version Thumbwheel/Joystick version housed in a stompbox ...

TC Electronics M350 CTRLR Panel

Image
New panel - much neater and follows the rack controls do does not take up much screen space. Also added a Channel selector. I have 2 units so I can address each one separately -  wooooo! TC M350 Mac TC M350 AU Plugin TC M350 VST Mac      Development notes and early versions I got the Sys Ex messages from here  Useful M350 Sysex info .  I was able to create a CTRLR panel. Program change will of course recall all the parameters but a really useful feature is the Sysex Receive function. When this is lit any adjustment to the front panel are transmitted - it just makes it easier to use. Link for M350 V4 CTRLR Panel   M350.zip Big update for this panel! With V5 you can now name and save Presets so you don't have to rely on a 2 digit number anymore!!! I have 2 M350s one is set to Channel 2 and the other on Channel 3.
