Roland JD-VST Editor for JD800/JD990

Post by LilCthulhu »

Hi,

I've just released a beta version of a VST Patch Editor for the Roland JDs. It's a dedicated panel for the CTRLR software. This could allow you to visually modify your patch and control your JDs from your DAW ;)

You can read more about it here : http://ctrlr.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=8 ... t=25#p4844 including links on which version of CTRLR to download and from there you can download your panel... If you download CTRLR from the website, please use the Stable version. Finally, you need to free your computer midi ports on which the jd is connected for CTRLR and assign them to CTRLR in the global settings. Download the panel (it's currently at the bottom of the device database). Once open from CTRLR, right-click on the panel and assign the midi device to the panel...

3 Tutorials to help you get started.

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6egKaXhgM4
On how to install CTRLR stand-alone with the Roland JD-VST panel for CTRLR

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MNvQwkOGRA
On how to setup CTRLR within a DAW with the Roland JD-VST panel for CTRLR

Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OACHjHEl4nc
On how to use Roland JD-VST panel for CTRLR

Let me know if you encounter issue in "using" the Panel, setting it up is not easy and depends on your configuration so I will not help in that department ;) I plan on recording a video for that ;)

That sounds really great. Thank you so much for your afford. Looking forward to the final release. Will this be running on Mac OS X Lion, too?
