FA-06/08 Supernatural Synth Editor (Midi Designer)

Post by andyr1960 »

I've noticed that several posts I've made recently haven't turned up. Hmmm... Let's hope this one does ;)

I recently started delving into Midi Designer for iPad, and have made a template for the Supernatural Synth engine for the FA06/08. Much nicer than fiddling with menus, parameters and such.

You can download it from here:

Your project is very interesting, but there will be a version for Windows 7?

I'm afraid this is only available for the iPad running the Midi Designer app.

I'll have a go at creating a template for Ctrlr (Win & OSX) and see how far I get, but I'm trying not to edit the FA06/08 with a mouse ;)

Then hope you can work on the project / template "Ctrlr" and soon it will be available for the public.
Does "Ctrlr" template is for Android only?
What you want to refer to: "I'm trying not to edit the FA06/08 with a mouse ;)" ?
That the project was only for smartphone and not for Windows, right? Or, I have not understood ...
Thanks.

Ctrlr is an app that runs on PC/Mac, and you create templates for editing various synths... Unfortunately I tried it, and gave up as it's a steep learning curve, and I just don't have the time to spend on it.

The FA06/08 template I created is for the "Midi Designer" app running on an iPad only (no windows/android version yet)

What I meant by "trying not to edit with a mouse", was that I don't particularly like editing synths (or soft synths) on a desktop screen with a mouse... it's laborious - Touch screens are the way to go ;)

Ok. Then I'll have to buy an iPad to test the FA06/08 template that you have created for the "Midi Designer" 
Touch screens are the way to go: I completely agree ............... :-)

I understand then, that today we know, this "unofficial" editor FA-06/08 Supernatural Synth Editor (Midi Designer) is the only thing that exists for the FA?
Is there a manual for this editor in Spanish?
Thanks......

I have Midi Designer and tried your template. It took me a long time to get it to work with Wifi, but it was my mistake. It was actually very easy to setup.

Your FA-template seems to be great! My goal with this is to be able to be in my sofa and designing sounds in wireless headphones. :-)
Do you have plans to continue developing it? What would be great is a button to trigger the Preview button. Or have some buttons that trigger keys?

about triggering the preview button: press shift+preview and you are in preview loop mode. will maybe help not to leave the sofa while turning into new sound ...

Thank you :)

I can add a small virtual keyboard, shouldn't be difficult if I can find the space :)

I'm only just getting to grips with MIDI Designer, but yes, I'm intending to build templates for the remainder, although due to the limitations of MIDI Designer, I've not implemented the MFX section (not enough Tabs/Pages)

I have noticed that the Chromatic Portamento switch In the Miscellaneous section isn't working (oops), I'll fix and update that with the virtual keyboard ASAP

Cresshead, you need the Midi Designer-Program, which you can load for little money in the App-Store.

Yes, Fleer, I´m almost ready with programming the organ-features of the FA-Synthesizer. I only need the data for the organ-Overdrive, I will look the next days. If someone wants to have the template, call me on facebook (Candy Colon)!
