Hello everyone, I recently discovered this software and I joined because I find very interesting the idea of creating a virtual instrument from 0. I have a question to ask yourself. I am an owner of a virtual analog synthesizer Roland JD-800. I wanted to ask if you can program makers such as synth vst / dll to be installed within Cubase as a MIDI controller to use the JD-800. And 'possible to do everything? thanks

I made a sketch of the graphics. The idea is to create software that works in both stand alone or within a sequencer (eg Cubase)

Im not good on midi. But, you should connect all the midi message from your synthesizer to a midi event inside the schematic. 😀 Other user here know lot more then me. 😀

Ok Thank you, I try to launch an appeal in general .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5-Oaf2blQ0

The controller take a form?

Reading from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxaMB7V ... jNmVm/edit the user manual i found something about "midi" implementation. This synth should be really vintage. 😉
This shoul be the base of midi messages. and here some of the data:
You should at first, study the synthesizer by reading the docs. then, you should create a plugin that is connected to. This is the most diffcult thing to do. the rest, such as GUI design is a cake.

Thank you Core 🙂

The detection should be more easy if the synthesizer has any kind of midi connection to an midi input device. But, i don't think you are able to view your Synth as a midi input on synthmaker. That should be the basic of Sysex detection and convertion, but requires the device listen and working.. (maybe your soundcard/midi device can connect the midi in a way?).
In any case, if found some topics regarding sysex of jd-800. There are some software here: http://www.synthzone.com/midi/roland/jd800/ A package, jd-800 software.zip, contains a software to edit banks. It read the sys output file of JD-800.
If you can't find exactly by pressing.. you should read doc, add, test.. many times. 😉

It 'nice to complicated. I try to launch an appeal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVu8yH3h7cQ

I can help you. The fact is that i haven't jd-900. Explain me more about.. for example if you can connect it to an host sequencer and record MIDI not just audio? That is a good starting point. The editor should be able to recognize the midi message from it, then send to midi out to the synthesizer.

Thanks, then, the Roland JD-880 has no internal sequencer but it has three doors midi MIDI IN and THRU OUT. I think you can connect to a midi record. Yes, the editor should be able to recognize the midi message from it, then sends the MIDI OUT to the synthesizer. I tried it with Cubase, for example, I can change patches. ftp://ftp.roland.co.uk/productsupport/JD-800/JD-800_MIDI_IMP.pdf Here is the table in pdf format MIDI implementation Roland JD-800 I have synth Maker v.1

The probelm using synthmaker 1, is that if i add some, you're be not able to open the project. 😉 Try to connect your synthesizer and with synthmaker do the same thing below:
You can get Sysex messages?
Some ·
I can not find the other two parameters of the right I have a very small screen, you can not zoom in?
CoreStyler ·
Because you cheched mouse primitives. Check M read or type "sysex".

i don't have this command:

I tried but nothing happens. Currently I do not have a MIDI keyboard, and I removed the keys to the Roland JD-800, therefore, I can only play with the keyboard of the PC
Some ·
should not also enter the MIDI OUT and an audio output?
CoreStyler ·
First of all you have to sync all the midi CC values coming from your synthesizer. For example it has an ADSR on amp? get the values of the synthesizer. you should refer to the docs in order to make knobs, sliders... synced with the incoming messages. Then, for any CC you need to send the data to the synthesizer (with exact CC) that into the VSTi editor are modified. The incoming midi data cointains the first and the second byte.. Someone can help you for this here. A basic skeleton shoul be like that:
and inside:
Here, you shold creare the entire editor which should understand midi input, make values tweakable, and send to the synthesizer again. I don't really know how to get audio, but should be like that.. you connect the input of the vsti editor to the audio output of the synthesizer.
Hope some people here will help on that topic, i'm a pretty a newbie here.. 😉 There are many others that can help you much more than what i can do. 😉

ok thank you

If you can track the messages from the synthesizer and you collect all of them, i will create the plugin / gui and related maths/engine. Just make the MIDI messages before. because without having the synthesizer is difficult.

Thanks for your help but I know that I will throw in the towel .. too hard to understand, I need a manual in Italian of SynthMaker. Despite my lack knowledge will if you create too big gup ..
Then since I opened this topic, only you have given me a hand .. Perhaps the subject does not interest everyone else ..
