mc909 as hardwarecontroller for parametertweaking korg dw8000

YouTube via stereoping

"I made little converterbox with a Atmel tiny2313 which translates midi controllerdata of the mc909 into Midi-System Exclusive-Data to change parameters in a korg dw8000 in realtime. This way, the mc909 is misused as a hardwareprogrammer. Most DW8000 parameters are implemented, not all though. Video shows live-parametertweaking. The wizard also maps data of midichannel 7 onto channel 8 to overcome the problem that the mc909-tracks cannot send on other channel as the default. I also made a box for the Kawai K3m. See other videos."

MC909 used as hardwareprogrammer for Kawai K3m - realtime performance


"The Kawai K3 and the Korg DW8000 are lovely hybrid-synths. But they arequite shitty to program cause of their lack of knobs. I made a little box which houses a microcontroller running a little selfwritten software. The wizard translates standard-midicontrollers (sent from e.g. the mc909) into manufactor-specific system-exclusive-mididata to tweak synth-parameters in realtime. Video shows a little knobfiddling on the Kawai K3. You hear the K3, the mc909 is just the hardwareprogrammer for it. It's not a fake, It's just midi :)"

MC909 Mididata converter - how it works


"little, bad video of what the midiwizard does, which can be plugged between MC909 and DW8000 or K3m to tweak parameters in realtime on these cool underestimated synths."
