Xplorer Editor Now Open Source and Available on Github

video upload by XplorerEditor

Note the video above is latest from from 11 years ago. You can find additiona demos in previuos posts here.

News via the developer on the Xpantastic group:

"The Xplorer editor is now open source and available on Github: https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor/ Almost everything is explained in the readme file https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor?tab=readme-ov-file#readme, so I won't duplicate the information here.

Sadly I have no time to develop new features since years, you know how real life is. Now anybody can grab the source and continue the journey.

I hope this will help Xpanders/Matrix-12 owners to get the best of their beloved synths. This is my humble contribution to the community :)

IMHO, the best thing to do with the source code would be to migrate the it to a perennial framework such as JUCE, so any users could run it on Windows/Mac/Linux, whatever the underlying architecture is (Intel, ARM, etc...). This is not a simple task, mostly regarding UI.

The latest release is available here: https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor/releases/tag/v2024.8.2.1

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This video is a combination of a technical correction and a demonstration of a very inexpensive 2hp Passive Mixer kit from Synthrotek.com.

The error I'm correcting is in reference to Passive Mixing with a multiple. This error was in my System 55 Mixers video starting at about 2:30. [posted here]

Minimoog & Odyssey // A 70's Love Story

video upload by Starsky Carr

"If you could only have one? Odyssey vs Minimoog, Mac vs PC, there's always a rivalry and in the 70s it was these 2. Or was it more a case of unrequited love... or lovers from different sides of the track... Romeo and Juliette, Tony and Maria, Rose and Jack

The ARP Odyssey takes you to gritty howling sizzles, and the Moog Minimoog tends to lean towards smooth and warm fuzziness. Both amazing iconic monosynths, both limited in today's terms but both stunningly awesome!"
