XpandrLink, a native Mac/Windows editor and DAW plugin for Xpander/Matrix-12 (beta)

This one came in on the xpantastic Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander list. Details from the creator follow:

"I'm Jake, a Matrix-12 & Xpander owner and synth repair tech. For the past few months I've been building something that has gotten a lot of use in my studio: XpandrLink, a from-scratch C++/JUCE editor for these synths built using XplorerEditor's protocol and design as reference, with standalone, AU, and VST3 builds for both macOS and Windows. I've been really enjoying having this tool for my own purposes and wanted to share it with the community if anyone else might also find it useful.

First, the part that matters most to me. Like many of you, I've used XplorerEditor for years. It's a big reason these synths are still practical to own and play, and this project only exists because of the groundwork it laid. I started down this road after reading a note more than a year ago in the XplorerEditor README: the developer had no time to add new features but welcomed forks and PRs, and recommended a long-term JUCE port for a more modern cross-platform foundation.

Yamaha AN1X Editors Suck! He made it simple to bring out the best of Virtual Analog

video upload by Ted murena

"https://prophetic-annie.netlify.app/ go here to try it out. The AN1X was at least inspired by the prophet 5 but kinda missed its mark by being a virtual look alike to the CS1X which was a fun but limited ROMpler - that said the AN1X is really annoying to navigate and the editors available are complex because they cover100% of the synths features - makes sense if you have a lot of time but I don’t…. The prophetic Annie aims to simplify while also giving some of the best features and sounds of the AN1X their place to shine"

Voidcontrol MIDI Releases e7 Unofficial Editor: DAW Integration for the GS Music e7

e7 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI

"VST3 editor for the GS e7. Real DAW automation, easily build multitimbral patches, patch library, A/B snapshots, morph, and resizable UI. Windows 10/11. Available at voidcontrolmidi.com."

Press release follows:


Voidcontrol MIDI has released the e7 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the GS Music e7 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.

The e7 is a remarkable analog polysynth with a passionate community and a genuinely unique sound, but editing it properly from a DAW has often meant menu diving on the hardware. This editor was designed to make that seamless. All 88 of the e7's parameters are on screen, laid out to mirror the front panel, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn.

Features include:

Full parameter control: every one of the e7's 88 parameters on one screen, with authentic readouts for oscillator tune, tempo-synced LFO rates, and waveform shapes.

Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter.

A patch librarian: browse, audition, load, rename, import and export single presets, whole banks, or full instrument backups as standard .syx files.

Multi-mode support: edit 4-part multitimbral patches with per-part level, MIDI channel, voice allocation, and key/velocity zones.

A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider.

Two-way hardware sync: pull the synth's current edit buffer into the editor in one click, with the editor recalling its state on project load.

Init and a musical randomizer for fresh starting points.

A resizable interface with onboard help.

A standalone version is also included for use without a DAW, working as a pure hardware controller that needs no audio interface.

The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, and Studio One, with USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI, MPE support, and a one-click All Notes Off panic.

"The e7 sounds incredible. I just wanted to see all of it at once, especially the multitimbral side," said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.

Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The e7 Unofficial Editor is its third release, after editors for the Roland SE-02 and Oberheim OB-6. A macOS version is under consideration.

The e7 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through July 7, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.

The e7 Unofficial Editor is a third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GS Music. "e7" is a trademark of its respective owner.

B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0

Follow-up to New 3rd Party Hidden Sysex Based ZEN-Core Editor-librarian for MC-101 and MC-707

2. Benis67 - ZEN-Core Tone Collection 3 (2026) - Demo Sounds
3. B67 ZEN-Core editor librarian V.2 - Video manual



Press release follows:

"B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine (4 operators with linear FM + 4 wave shapes) for all Roland instruments that support the ZEN-Core standard: new editor and sound collection.

The new ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0 (PC and MAC) is now available for Roland synthesizers from the Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among many new features, it allows editing of a new synthesis engine, fully compatible with the ZEN-Core standard, which uses linear FM synthesis (4 operators) and 4 modulable operator waveshapes

The "B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine is achieved through a special implementation of a ZEN-Core tone that allows access to only a limited number of synthesis parameters, leaving the others predefined and inaccessible (e.g., Structure 1-2/3-4 = XMOD2, Osc Type = VA).

Specifically, the modulation matrix is ​​"locked" with predefined Source and Destination parameters to ensure correct modulations that operate on the main FM synthesis parameters.

Real-time editing is performed on a new page containing all the synthesis parameters, the operator frequencies settable via the freq. ratio parameter (0.25, 0.5, 0.78, 1, 1.5, 1.57, 1.78, 2, 3, 3.5, 4.5, etc.), the waveforms (SIN, SIN2, TRI, TRI2, TRI3, SAW, SQR, RAMP, JUNO), the graphic display of the 8 envelopes (4 for FM and 4 for shapes), a dedicated librarian (2048 sounds), 20 tone presets, 8 ENV presets, a clipboard, and the ability to copy and paste synthesis parameters.

Each sound is associated with one of the 93 MFX multi-effects, which can be edited in the dedicated section.

By applying waveshaping to the 4 operators' waveforms (via the FAT and PW parameters) and modulating them with 4 dedicated ENVs, the synthesis engine can replicate the phase distortion (PD) synthesis famous in Casio CZ synths.

When using sine wave oscillators and modulating their PW with the dedicated ADSR ENVs, the overall synthesis structure becomes similar to that of an 8-operator FM algorithm, as shown in the image: 4 operators (1, 2, 3, and 4) can have their frequencies freely configured, while the other 4 modulate the corresponding carriers and modulators with a 1:1 ratio.

Polyphony is 22 voices for all synthesizers, pianos, keyboards, wind instruments, guitar synths, and virtual instruments compatible with the ZEN-Core standard. This is reduced to 11 voices for the MC-101, MC-707, and VERSELAB MV-1 grooveboxes.

Simplified graphical editing of all parameters, sound management via the librarian, and parameter recall for subsequent editing is only possible with the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0.


The new B67 ZEN-Core Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones in total) is also available, including 112 tones created with the "B67 ZEN-FM" synthesis engine.

Thanks to full compatibility with the ZEN-Core standard, these sounds can be used on all compatible instruments and virtual instruments: Zenology Pro, Zenbeats (ZC-1), FP-E50, RD-88, RD-08, Juno-D, Juno-X, V-Stage, MC-101, MC-707, Verselab MV-1, GM-800, Aerophone AE-20 Pro AE-30, GO:KEYS 5, GO:KEYS 3.

Along with the collection, the sounds with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine also come with a proprietary file format that can be edited and managed within the Editor/Librarian V2.0 section, available for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among the various sounds in the collection, created with this synthesis, are emulations of some "classic" Yamaha DX7 sounds (Marimba, Vibe, Celesta, Bakket, Jazz Guitar, Tubular Bell, EPiano, Bowed Strings, Brass, Synth Bass, Metal, etc.) and original sounds that use FM and Wave Shape synthesis for new sounds with complex and evolving harmonic spectra.

The upgrade to version 2.0 of the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X is free (it can be found in the Gumroad repository or through the paywall of those who purchased it).

Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones, including 112 created with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine) is available individually, in the "best of" version, and bundled with other collections and editors.

Voidcontrol MIDI Releases OB-6 Unofficial Editor: DAW Integration for the Oberheim OB-6

OB-6 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI



"Voidcontrol MIDI has released the OB-6 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the Oberheim OB-6 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.

The OB-6 is a beloved analog polysynth, and the Unofficial Editor makes it straightforward to integrate into a modern DAW session. Every parameter is on screen, organized by section, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn. A standalone version is also included.

Features include:

Full parameter control, organized by section
Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter (VST3 version)
A patch library with naming, categories, search, and sharing
A polyphonic sequencer that plays back on the OB-6 itself
A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider
Editing of the OB-6's global settings
A resizable interface (50% to 300%)

The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, and Waveform, and works in the Windows 11 MIDI 2.0 environment.

'I built it because I wanted my OB-6 to fit into my DAW the way my soft synths do, and I designed it to be something I'd want to use myself every day,' said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.

Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is its second release.

The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through June 16, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.

Free Behringer CZ-1 online editor

video upload by gary909

via gary909:

"I've finally finished my Behringer CZ-1 editor, which is available online for free:

https://www.behringer-cz1-editor.co.uk/

This editor has taken me forever to complete! It's by far and away the most advanced one I've built yet, featuring 90 or so sliders. I'd had no experience with Phase Distortion Synthesis before starting this project, so it meant reading a few books and watching hours of you tube videos. There's bound to be a few bugs, but it beats using the single button on the hardware to program the unit.

The UI has also been designed to shed some light on how to program it, with panels being highlighted when accessible, and animations to convey what is being changed. Hopefully it should help somebody. Every control has it's function listed, you just need to hover the mouse over it.

Here's a short youtube video going over some of the features.

It's completely free and works through the browser, you just need to plug in your CZ-1 into your pc or phone. Safari unfortunately isn't supported because Apple doesn't allow midi data transfer, but it should work well on most other platforms."

Web Based Online Editor for the Original Nord Modular

Additional details via https://nordmodulareditor.com where you can try it out yourself if you own an original Nord Modular:

"Nord Modular G1 Editor

Create, edit and (soon) share your Nord Modular patches with the community.

Some quick remarks:

This is still a very early version. A lot of things don't work or don't work correctly yet.
You should be able to edit patches, browse slots, add modules and cables, adjust parameters and load patches into a slot.
You probably want to run this in the Chrome browser, i haven't tested others.
I have only tested this with a Nord Modular Keys for now, I assume the Rack version will work the same but I don't know about the Micro. I assumed it would work the same but it appears that some people have issues getting it to connect.
Parameter values are often shown as their raw 0–127 values.
None of the displays work yet.
When something is wrong, updates don't come through, or communication seems to be stuck: refresh the page.
When using a trackpad, you probably want to use "scroll to pan" navigation. You can select this in the settings.
To add a module, drag it from the toolbar on top.
To delete a module or cable, select it and hit delete.
The tab key in the editor will toggle rendering cables behind or in front of the modules.
If you were following my personal YouTube channel for updates, please follow my other channel instead.
Feedback is much appreciated, but I don't have a proper way to do that yet.
This is a personal hobby project. I am not affiliated with or connected to Nord in any way.

monophreak EMMY1OH1 Software Editor for the Roland EM-101 Preset Desktop Synthesizer

via Monophreak

"With the right firmware mod (that’s right – no mysterious hacky soldered in dials) for old board Roland EM-101 machines, the EM-101 is no longer a preset machine. Often billed as a cutdown Juno 106 restricted to just 24 presets, this box previously had some interesting uses but didn’t really deliver as an anlogue beast in my arsenal. It was too restricted. Until now. Due to the amazing work by Ryan (Plutoniq), the EM-101 has been give a new lease of life and transformed into a strong addition to my music making and since the parameters can now be controlled over midi CC, I have written an editor to load in presets from the Juno 106 and MKS-7, extended to a new Roland EM-101 format with naming and created a preset saving system and librarian for patch recall. It’s not a Juno 106 but it is a very nice sounding a machine with it’s own character sharing a lot of parallels. If I have understood correctly (there could be inaccuracies!), it has a M5232RS tone generator chip with 36 (I think) waveforms that are beautifully shaped by Roland analogue fitters. A good example is the IR3109 VCF filter, found in a the Jupiter 8 or M5241L VCA found in the MKS-70. If you look at the chip list, there are lots of shared electronics that overlap between Junos, Juipter and other quality Roland gear of it’s time, giving it character. Notably, the MN3009 and MN3101 chorus chips shared by the Juno 106 chorus. It has interesting analogue effects on board but the chorus particularly shines due to the much greater CC control (as you can see from the screenshot). That chorus is gorgous, adds that analogue sheen and processing. I spent last night building up a preset bank for the EM-101 to release with the editor (and check bank functionality) and got lost inside this little beauty."

If you forget the EM-101 you can find some pics and demos in previous posts.

Mother Global Settings Editor for the Moog Grandmother and Matriarch by DIRE Studio

via DIRE Studio

"The proper Grandmother and Matriarch editor has landed.

Mother Global Settings is an intuitive editor for Moog's Grandmother and Matriarch synthesizers. Sporting a 500-series rack inspired control-per-function interface, it's a huge improvement over the quirky global settings editing method of these instruments.
For Mac and iPad.

Supports the creative flow.

Each setting is accessible with two clicks/taps at maximum, allowing you to concentrate on creating your music. Actual values are instantly visible on the screen, which may also prevent a disaster by letting you see output voltage levels. And we have added octave buttons to easily set and check keyboard transposition, as well as a sequence selector override for the Matriarch, letting you quickly switch to any sequence — not just adjacent ones.

Expanded control panel.

Separate items for oscillator frequency ranges on the Matriarch. Fine grained control over MIDI output and local control. Extra glide toggle and arp/seq gate length settings managed by the app. And a panic button in case the synth goes rebel.

Presets.

Save all global settings, as well as our extra settings, into files that you can archive with other project material or share with others. Quickly recall them when needed. And of course you can reset all settings to factory defaults.

Keyboard control.

Keyboard shortcuts for settings affecting synthesizer parameters that you may wish to change during live performance or recording: Gate Length, Swing, FW/BW End Note Repeat, Allow Seq Random Repeat, Delay Seq Change, Pitch Variance, Gated Glide, Legato Glide, Paraphonic Unison, Update Unison on Note-Off, Noise Filter Cutoff, Delay Filter Brightness and Multi Trig.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio.

Direct USB connection for the fastest operation and complete auto-detection — perfect for live performance. 5-pin MIDI support for connecting via MIDI interfaces — and even through MIDI routers — allows you to integrate the app into complex studio setups."
