video upload by Benedetto Schiavone

"ZEN-Core Sound Banks (222 tones) for all Roland Synthesizers, Piano, Groovebox, Wind-Instruments, Guitar Synth compatible with the ZEN-Core standard"

Available at: http://www.benis.it/cm/ZC_Editor/ben6...

Addtiional details in via Benedetto Schiavone:


"As is known, the two Roland grooveboxes do not officially support MIDI SysEX messages and there is no documentation relating to their implementation which is hidden

In reality, the MC-101/707 are able to receive and send such messages: they respond with a completely wrong addressing, with duplicate and incorrect data which however can be corrected and used by the software.

The editor-librarian, like the analogous versions for Fantom/0, AX-Edge and Jupiter-X/Xm, communicates in real-time and bidirectionally with the groovebox, using MIDI SysEx messages."

Specs:

Stand-alone application for Windows and MAC

- Windows 10/11

- Mac CPU Intel x86-64 - Sierra (MacOS 10.12), High Sierra (MacOS 10.13), Mojave (MacOS 10.14), Catalina (MacOS 10.13), Big Sur (MacOS 11.x)

ZEN-CORE SECTION

-Editing of ZEN-Core tones structured in 6 subsections where you can modify all the synthesis parameters and those relating to the 93 effects provided by the standard.

- Possibility to manage the transmission of sounds (library/presets-->Groovebox) and ZEN-Core editing in each of the locations (Clip/Trak) present in a project: max 136 ZEN-Core tones in MC-707 and max 68 ZEN-Core tones in MC-101

- Vector and resizable graphic interface.

- Real-time graphic display of the envelopes (Filter, AMP and Pitch) and of the keyboard and velocity range sections

- Copy and paste of partials via clipboard.

- Macro to speed up editing by controlling in parallel the same parameter of any combination of the 4 partials.

- Editing of "hidden" ZEN-Core synthesis parameters not directly accessible in the synths: VCF Gain Correction, Partial LFO Phase Lock, Pitch Down Depth, Pitch Drift, Pitch Drift Cycle Number - Condition and VA Init Phase

- 4-track step sequencer. With a new template it is possible to obtain with a single Zen-Core tone melodic and rhythmic sequences with 4 voices, synchronized with the scene BPM

24 ZEN-Core presets, divided into:

INI: simple sounds to use as templates for editing.

PR1: some of the most significant sounds of the optional library that can be purchased separately

PR2: ZEN-Core tones of rhythmic and melodic sequences (8 STEP LFO and related template)

- Complete editing of the 93 effects from the ZEN-Core standard and 25 presets for the most used effects

LIBRARY SECTION

- Library with the management of 16384 ZEN-Core tones: 8 libraries each composed of 2048 tones (16 banks of 128 tones each)

- organization of the library tones with variable clipboard (1-48 tones), bank clipboard and separate management of lib and banks (load/save on file)

- Import of ZEN-Core tones and conversion of sounds generated with the Model Expansions into "Equivalent ZEN-Core tones" via a proprietary conversion algorithm. Supported Model Expansions: JUNO-106 -JX-8P -JUPITER-8 -SH-101 - Juno-60 - JUNO-X engine - JUPITER-X/XM engine



PROJECT SECTION

- edit of the offsets of the parameters of the 4/8 tracks (MC–101/707): Volume, Pan, Cutoff, Res, Attack, Decay, Release, Vibrato, Portamento, SYS Ctrl and send to Delay and Reverb.
