I dont think there could be a better example of the absolute need for a Sysex Editor App in CopperLan than this thread on updating the midi capabilities of the Roland MKS-70 /JX-10
A couple of guys are working their butts off trying to implement new code for the 3 eproms in these synths adding much needed midi implementation ability.
But just check out the discussion relating to controlling these new found abilities....the hardware PG-800 wont cut it..it's fixed and the other possibilities...forget it!
This shows how passionate folk are about OLD gear...they love the sound but totally crave the control.
I just hope some developer wakes up and smells the C++ roses that are available here, a way for CopperLan to gain support, is to embrace the past. Get these gear heads on board and the future of CopperLan controller hardware is guaranteed.
There must be tons of C++ nerds out there just picking their noses
thinking where's the next interesting project?
I can't say when this MIDI target supporting Sysex will be available, but I'm confident it's more a question of months than years.
.....tick tick tick......
