Waldorf Music M TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v5.0 by synth_nyc

via synth_nyc

"I developed a bidirectional editor for Waldorf Music M v1.10 using TouchOSC mk2 augmented by LUA scripts, here is a video (with audio) showcasing 4 possible workflows.

It was interesting loading the patches I created (without an editor, directly on the synth)

… in the editor and have global view of the patch in 2 (editor) pages only.

GENERIC FEATURES:

- Display parameter Name and Value

- Double click a slider or button to reset it to a default value

- MIDI data rate efficient: only sends a MIDI message if the parameter value is incremented or decremented by 1

SPECIFIC FEATURES (FW v1.10):

- 2 Editor Pages per M Part (total of 8 Pages for the 4 M Parts)

- 1 Editor Page for M Multi

- All Single (Program) (254 x4 = 1016, for each of the 4 Parts) parameters implemented in the editor. Program parameters are bidirectional using SYSEX

- All Multi parameters (130) parameters implemented in the editor. Multi parameters are bidirectional using SYSEX

- Automatically imports M current Single / Multi bank / program numbers (3 parameters) when the editor is started using SYSEX

- MIDI Channel selection slider

- Bank (change) + Program (change) selection slider + buttons

- Buffer Request, Buffer Init, Buffer Write and Program Write buttons using SYSEX

- Multi (Arrangement) change buttons using SYSEX

- Multi (Arrangement) Buffer Request, Multi (Arrangement) Write buttons using SYSEX



- Single (Program) Part 1, 2, 3 and 4 Request (in Multi editing) using SYSEX

- Part 1, 2, 3 and 4 to Single (Program) Write buttons (in Multi editing) using SYSEX

- Automatically switches M to Single or Multi for operations described above

WORKFLOW 1 SINGLE EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 00:09 in the video above):

- Select a Bank & Program (the editor switches the synth to Single Mode)

- Press Buffer Request to load it to the editor

- Start editing (the loaded patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)

- Naming

- Press Buffer Request to record it in your DAW / SYSEX librarian; or save it manually in the synth

- Select a Bank & Program (Optional)

- Press Program Write to save it in the synth

WORKFLOW 2 SINGLE EDITING FROM SCRATCH (starting at 02:03 in the video above):

- Press Buffer Init to send an init patch to the synth buffer

- Start editing (the init patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)

- Naming

- Select a Bank & Program (Optional)

- Press Program Write to save it to the synth

WORKFLOW 3 MULTI EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 04:04 in the video above):

- Select a Multi (the editor switches the synth to Multi Mode)

- Press Buffer Request to load it in the editor

- Start editing (the loaded multi) on the editor (the Multi is edited in the synth buffer)

- Naming

- Select a Multi (Optional)

- Press Multi Write to save it to the synth

WORKFLOW 4 MULTI + PART + SINGLE EDITING (starting at 5:26 in the video above):

- Select a Multi (the editor switches the synth to Multi Mode)

- Press Part 2 Request to load it in the editor

- Start editing (the loaded Part 2) on the editor (the Part is edited in the synth Multi buffer)

- Start editing (the loaded Part) on the editor (the Part is edited in the synth Single buffer)

- Select a Bank & Program (Optional)

- Press Program Write to save it to the synth

FEATURE REQUESTS / BUG FIXES:

0/ Fix / Implement Dump Multi Arrangement to Active Multi (edit buffer) BYTE 32 (exact) = 0x00 does not work

1/ Program Name 1-26 active parameters Send implementation

2/ Multi Name 1-26 active parameters Send implementation

3/ Global parameters Send / Request implementation

4/ WT Smooth Scan should gets its own parameter byte (no bitmap)

5/ 2 parameters not implemented in UI

a/ Wave Envelop Loop End

b/ ARP Length

6/ Multi part single dump request vs single dump request: several bugs

a/ ENV_TIMERESOLUTION value = 16 (multi) when value = 2 (single)

b/ FREEENV_LOOP_AT_RELEASE value = 16 (multi) when value = 1 (single)
