 Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2015 7:32 pm Post subject: New microKORG editor - coming soon! |
 |
|
I mentioned last week I was writing a new editor for the microKORG. It's going quite well. There's lots of stuff still to do but it already has a few killer features:
* Full backup/restore of your microKORG
* Easy sharing of sounds online/in forums/etc.
* Very natural workflow
* Full undo/redo history as you edit
* Easy patch/program management
* Easy reset of program to bare parameters ("File->New...")
Here's a screenshot:

How about a selectable parameter patch randomizer? I have this on XL and Micron editors but I most want it on my favorite synth, the original Microkorg. It might be on the Mac version MK editor but I use PCs.

Yep, I thought of that but I haven't done it yet.
When I get v1.0 done I'll be happy to get feedback for extra features. 
How about an 'evolutionary' editor? It could randomly make half a dozen new sounds based on the current one then you pick the one you like best. Repeat until you get the sound you want....

That would be revolutionary!
The randomizers I've used are very hit and miss. If it randomized "slightly" to "moderately" from a given patch, that would certainly result in many interesting and useful sounds. That feature alone could put your editor ahead of the pack!

It would have to look at the distance between the parameters from each generation to the next and base the next generation on those.
That way it will go in the direction you want it to.

That would be version 1.2 though, I need to finish 1.0 first 
(Hopefully there'll be a Beta next week. Get your MIDI cables ready!) |

Update:
No beta yet, I've been busy and it's taking a bit longer than expected. I'm also making a web page to host it, which takes time.
Still, here's a screenshot of the latest feature...

I also found an awesome 3D model of a microKORG on the web so that had to go in there somewhere.

This looks great, and that patch sharing feature is amazing!

I might be getting a Mac, next month.
OTOH owning a Mac and being a Mac programmer are two different things.

Still a few things left to do. I hope to get some free time next month to work on it a bit more, try for version 1.0. |

Wow man! Definitely will wait for this!
Btw i'm new to microkorg, but not for analog and analog modelling synths, so this programm will really help to squeeze maximum from powerfull synth as microkorg. And i don't want to step on old soundeditor territory
Will be glad to test program as beta tester 
So far been using max for life patch for editing microkorg from pc via ableton. |

| Anything new, update-wise? I'd love to have this user interface to be able to edit on my MicroKorg! It's gorgeous! |

How does this program send the data to the MicroKORG? can it be done through midi? I have a midi t USB cable and an original MicroKORG, can I use this program?
And btw looks great can't wait to try it out. Also is there any way of possibly changing the DWG waveforms? I am unfamiliar with the architecture of the MicrKORG the only synths I've built have been very simple.
Will this program be open source or have a way of making mods/addons?
keep up the amazing work :3
