P-600-G 1.0.1: Revised Randomize Program Settings Dialog

video upload by Mister 1-2-3-4 Programming

"I have updated the P-600-G VST3 plugin to build number 1.0.1! This is a quick demo of the cosmetic changes made to the Randomize Program Changes dialog: unlocked controls are now tinted red and the 'open lock' icons have been eliminated so that parameter values are not obscured as they change. Apart from that, the functionality is the same.

P-600-G is distributed free and open source under the GPL v3 license. You can download it and get more information about it at https://programming.mr1234.com/

Putting P-600-G to Work: A Cover of "Betrayed in the Octagon" by Oneohtrix Point Never video upload by Mister 1-2-3-4 Programming

"As a use-test of the P-600-G VST3 plugin, I created this cover of "Betrayed in the Octagon" by Oneohtrix Point Never. It uses only sounds generated by the Prophet-600 analog synthesizer enhanced by various effects boxes and plugins. In this video, I scroll through the Reaper project to reveal the various audio and MIDI tracks that were used to recreate the song, and at the end the P-600-G program settings for each voice are displayed."

Setting Up P-600-G in Reaper

"P-600-G is a VST3 plugin designed to be used with the Prophet-600 analog synthesizer, released by Sequential Circuits in 1982. It presents all of the synthesizer’s program parameters in a single editor window within your DAW and allows for the automation of parameter changes. It also lets you store, recall, export, and import program presets, as well as quickly generate new sounds the the Randomize Program Settings dialog. At this time, P-600-G is only fully-functional within Cockos’ Reaper and Steinberg’s Cubase (Windows OS only). This video explains how to set up the plugin in Reaper.

THIS PLUGIN DOES NOT GENERATE AUDIO. It simply provides editing and automation capabilities for the Prophet-600 hardware. If you do not possess that synthesizer, the plugin is of no use to you. This plugin is not compatible with any third-party modification of the Prophet-600’s firmware."

"Penetrate" by Mister 1-2-3-4

New track from supporting member, Mister 1-2-3-4.

"There are some who seek to penetrate the secrets of our world...

Dedicated to Sumuru.

https://mr1234.bandcamp.com/track/pen..."



"Parts breakdown:

Kick, snare, and hi hat from a Vermona DRM1 Mark III. One of the DRM1's 'Drum' voices also created the 'woo-woo-woo' sound that comes in at about the 3-minute mark.

The stern, crunchy stabs are from an Arturia Minibrute running through a Boss XT-2 Xtortion pedal.

The warm pad that kicks off the track and then begins to pulse rhythmically comes from a Prophet 600 going through Arturia's 'Filter Mini' plugin, with the step sequencer modulating the cutoff frequency.

The house-y vamp, bassline, sine wave synth, and various other stabs and bleats are all from Korg's Minilogue.

Delays: Moogerfooger MF-104Z Analog Delay, Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, Boss PS-3 Pitch Shifter/Delay pedal

Reverbs: Vermona Retroverb and Tech 21 Boost R.V.B. pedal.

I also used Audio Thing's 'Speakers' plug-in to send the whole mix through a 60s telephone for a couple of measures.

Vocals by Sumuru.

Happy Holidays!

Matrix-6G VST3: Free, Open-Source Editor/Librarian Plugin for the Oberheim Matrix-6R

video upload by Mister 1-2-3-4 Programming

Putting Matrix 6G to Work: A Cover of "Vitamin C" by Edgar Froese


You might recall the Matrix-6G Plug-In Editor for Reaper back in 2015. It's now available as a VST3.

via Mister 1-2-3-4 Programming

"Matrix-6G VST3 is now available! It’s an editor and librarian plugin designed to work with Oberheim’s Matrix-6R rack-mount synth module from the mid-1980s.

The highlights:

Edit patches, matrix mod settings, splits, and master settings on the hardware from within your DAW.
Patch parameters are exposed to the plugin host and can be automated and/or controlled via external devices.
Several hundred patch presets are included, plus there are two storage banks where custom patches can be saved.
Helpful tooltip windows appear when you hover the mouse over parameter controls for a few moments. You can change the amount of time before the tips appear or turn them off entirely.
Compatibility: Reaper (version 6 and up) and Cubase (version 10 and up). Windows only. The plugin may work to some extent with the Matrix-1000 module or the Matrix-6 keyboard model, but I have no way to test this. The plugin is most likely not compatible with any third-party modification of the Matrix-6R’s firmware.

Matrix-6G VST3 version 1.0.0 is now available for free download.

It is also completely open-source, and there’s information about getting the source code on my website as well.

I’ve put up a video demonstrating how to set up tracks for using Matrix-6G in Reaper and Cubase: [1st video above]

As a use-test of the plugin, I did a cover of “Vitamin C” by Edgar Froese using only sounds from the Matrix-6R treated with assorted effects boxes and plugins. Here’s a video that goes through the tracks in the Reaper project for the song and displays the Matrix-6G settings for each of the voices used: [2nd video above]"

Mister 1-2-3-4 MophoGUI VST3 - Free, Open-Source Editor/Librarian Plugin for the DSI Mopho

video upload by Mister 1-2-3-4 Programming

MophoGUI VST3 version 1.0.0 is now available for free download at https://programming.mr1234.com/mophogui-vst3/.

"Putting MophoGUI VST3 To Work: A Song Built with Mopho Sounds Plus FX

As a use-test of the MophoGUI VST3 plugin, I created this slow, atmospheric acid jam using only sounds generated by the Mopho desktop analog synthesizer module plus various effects boxes and plugins (compression, reverb, delay, phasing). In the first half of the video, I scroll through the Reaper project and reveal the various audio and MIDI tracks that went into creating the song. In the latter half, I isolate each of the Mopho sounds and display the MophoGUI editor settings used to create them. Program parameters that were automated to change over the course of the recording are circled in red."

"MophoGUI is a VST3 plugin designed to be used with the Mopho desktop analog synthesizer module, manufactured by Dave Smith Instruments between 2008 and 2015. It presents all of the Mopho’s program parameters in a single editor window, lets you edit them within your DAW, allows for the automation of parameter changes, and lets you store and recall both factory and custom programs. At this time, MophoGUI is only functional within Cockos’ Reaper (version 6 and later) and Steinberg’s Cubase (version 10 and later). This video explains how to set up the plugin in those two DAWs.

"Enhancements in this version:

- Compatible with Reaper (version 6 and up) and Cubase (version 10 and up)

- All sound parameters are exposed and can be automated and/or controlled via external devices.

- Six program storage banks: three read-only Factory banks which hold the original program presets that shipped with the hardware, and three Custom banks where you can store your own programs.

- The ability to copy-and-paste programs between slots in the Program Banks window.


- Specific wave shapes can be selected directly by holding down a number key and clicking an Oscillator Shape knob.

- Floating tooltip windows appear when you hover the mouse over a parameter control for a few moments. You can change the amount of time before the tips appear or turn them off entirely.

- More polished look-and-feel."

Mopho Gooey! 2.0 Synth Control Plug-in for Reaper

Published on Jun 30, 2016 Mister 1-2-3-4

"This Mr. Fingers-inspired track was created to test out working with Mopho Gooey! version 2.0, the latest version of the plug-in I programmed for Reaper which allows remote editing and automation of the Mopho desktop synthesizer module from Dave Smith Instruments.

All sounds were created with the Mopho synth and hardware effects pedals. The video shows the Program settings for every voice, as well as notes on the additional effects used.

You can download Mopho Gooey! 2.0 for free here: http://stash.reaper.fm/27985/MophoGoo...

Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with Dave Smith Instruments. This was created purely for my own benefit, and has only been tested with my home system. I hope others will find it useful, but you use this plug-in at your own risk."

And additional details via the press release:

"Announcing Mopho Gooey! 2.0, a major revision of my Reaper control plugin for the Mopho desktop analog synthesizer module by Dave Smith Instruments. It provides a convenient graphical user interface (GUI) for programming the multitude of parameters hidden behind the synth’s minimal interface and opens up new automation and modulation possibilities. What’s new in this version:
- Added a Banks menu where you can store and load up to 384 Programs.
- Added a Global Parameters menu.
- Operation hints for each control are now displayed in the lower-left corner of the GUI.
- You can now type in a new Program Name, rather than having to scroll through each character individually.
- Fast-incrementing of knobs is now done by right-clicking-and-dragging, which makes one-handed operation easier. Shift-clicking a parameter now restores it to the value saved in the currently-loaded Program.
- Added the ability to change all the steps in a Sequencer Pattern at the same time.
- The interface is about 10% smaller.
- The coding is much more efficient. Even though I added data for 384 Programs, the plugin is still significantly smaller than the prior version.

Matrix-6G - Oberheim Matrix-6/6R Plug-in Editor for Reaper

Testing the Matrix-6G: "Tony Later" by Mister 1-2-3-4

Published on Dec 19, 2015 Mister 1-2-3-4

"I recently finished programming the 'Matrix-6G' plug-in for Reaper using JS, Reaper's open source plug-in architecture. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for remotely editing sounds on vintage Oberheim Matrix-6/6R analog synthesizers. All the powerful features that are hidden within the Matrix's convoluted menu structure are made easily accessible on a single screen. The GUI also allows many important parameters to be edited with envelopes, external controls, and parameter modulation. As a road-test for the GUI, I created this track. All sounds, apart from the vocal snippets, were created by my Matrix-6R plus effects pedals (Moogerfooger Analog Delay, Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe and Worm, and Tech 21 Boost R.V.B.

"The synth goodness: The raspy pulse that runs through the entire track was made with a PWM setting on a Prophet 600 running through an Electro-Harmonix worm pedal set to a slow auto-wah. Also used: Oberheim Matrix-6R, Yamaha TX-802, Roland R-8 for the drums, Moogerfooger MF-104Z Analog Delay, Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe, and the Crash button on a Vermona Retroverb for the "thunderclap" sound in the middle of the song.

Video goodness: Frames created with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, additional 3D effects via Autodesk 3ds Max, compositing done in Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas"
