![]() ![]() ![]() If the 10 DX-7s have different MIDI ID numbers then only the DX-7 with the matching MIDI ID of the SYEX file sent will receive that new patch info even though they are all receiving MIDI on the same MIDI channel. This was done so you could send SYEX files to multiple devices of the same make and model and keep them separate from each other, for example: You have 10 DX-7 keyboards (I know I am showing my age could be any MIDI device of the same make and model receiving MIDI) being sent MIDI on the same MIDI channel and you wanted to send SYSEX files that contain new presets to the keyboards for different sounds. ![]() But if the SYEX file was saved with another MIDI ID the receiving device must be set to that MIDI ID for the device to recognize the file. I’m eager to try some layouts out for both iOS and Android touch devices just because it’s fun as a developer, I’m toying a bit with the latter.Just for informational purposes the default MIDI ID on a device is alway MIDI ID 01. You can bet that iPad apps may soon be a trend for manufacturers, too, though sometimes – freed from any commercial aspirations – what the users come up with works pretty well on its own. The mind still boggles at all those controls, but now it looks far more usable. With this layout, an OSC interface, and of course a copy of TouchOSC, the user can easily and intuitively edit patches, or modify GR-55 settings in real-time during performance.ĭetails concerning development can be found in this thread on the VGuitar forums, with photos of the interface on more recent pages: The GR-55 is an impressive guitar synth and guitar preamp, but it’s UI leaves *much* to be desired, and Roland has stated that they will not be releasing a PC-based editor for it. I recently developed a TouchOSC layout that serves as a patch editor for Roland’s GR-55. Probably looks totally ugly and primitive.”Īnd all this means you’ve got a powerful editor without the need for an iPad. “Yeah, sure,” you say, “it’s open source software. (There’s even a fresh Lion build for Mac users.) So, score one for the Roland user community stepping in and doing more than the actual manufacturer (and I haven’t yet seen any maker do a Linux version, or, for that matter, release their editor as open source). Marc Benigni used TouchOSC control software for the iPad and set up a template that makes all of that functionality touchable, direct, and accessible.īut wait - there’s more! There’s also a dedicated, free and open source editor for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Enter one user from the GR-55’s dedicated community of guitar synthesists. With its various modeling, effects, and synthesis powers hidden in layers of menus, navigating all those sonic capabilities can be a chore. Roland’s GR-55 guitar synth is one powerful accessory for guitarists – maybe a little too powerful. ![]()
