Windows and Mac editor for RD2000

[Stuart100]

Hi,

A long time ago I wrote an editor for the Korg Triton series. It was written in an old version of vb.net. The triton had many more sysex commands than the RD. I then wrote an editor for the Korg Oasys. Ive since moved to Microsoft visual studio and I am thinking about purchasing an RD2000. Is there any interest if I wrote an editor for it? You can see some of my work at http://www.stuartpryer.co.uk. My recent work includes a Roland SH1000 vst/exe emulation and a fractal sequencer.

I see there is an editor which can be used with iPads for some of the functions. The midi software i have written recently runs natively in windows 10 or earlier but runs on a Mac using a third party piece of software called crossover 17 or higher, which costs around $30. Ive tested this on MacOs Mojave. Roland have released the sysex implimentation for the RD so its not too difficult to impliment it. But theres still a lot of code to write to do so. Would people be prepared to pay a small price for it or is that a no go?

I also remember that the Korg user group shared a lot of programs and combinations. Is this possible to do for the RD?

Cheers

Hi,

I've started work on the RD 2000 editor. The main form is attached. It will be a windows 7 or higher programme written in visual studio 17, but will run on a Mac using codeweaver crossover 17 or higher. I'm thinking of making it available for this forums members for free. I need help as I don't own an RD2000 yet, but will be getting one soon.

Firstly what would users like to see as the main menu items on the form. I've started with V Piano, Supernatural Piano editors etc.

Cheers

Hi,

Ive created a windows installer rd2000 msi. Version 1.02 has midi in and out, a screen piano keyboard and the start of user documentation. I will upload it so people can try it out. I have not added any sysex control yet. Only note on and off. Sysex comes next once i get feedback on this version.

Cheers

Hi,

Ive uploaded the installer for version 1.02 of the RD2000 Editor. Unzip and place in a folder and run msi.

At this stage I'm interested in checking the midi module for note on/off and input/output and the layout/menus.

Feedback welcome.

Cheers

Bonjour, tout d'abord félicitations pour votre travail, je viens de tester votre application avec Windows 7 tout semble fonctionner correctement.
L'interface est belle et les futurs menus permettrons sûrement d'aller très loin dans la programmation des sons.
Que dire de plus à ce stade encore bravo et bon courage pour votre travail

Merci Gus,

Ive now written the sysex send section. I want to test this out but need help as i dont own an RD2000. There will be one sysex command. Delay tremolo. Checking the check box on the midi form will send the sysex. Unchecking it does nothing. Rechecking it sends it again etc. If this works the rest is easier:-) i will upload a new program installer later. Ive chosen this command as Roland gives it as an example in their rd2000 sysex manual.

I also need help designing the various editing windows (forms) and would appreciate if users could sketch layouts which they would find useful and upload them. I will do my best to replicate them.

Cheers

Hi,

Here is the latest installer msi for version 1.0.3 with the delay tremolo sysex check box on the midi form. Can someone please try for me to see if the sysex send works when checking the delay tremolo check box? Remember to set up midi in/out and click open midi port button first.

Cheers

Bonjour je viens d'intaller la version release 1.0.3 on dirait que c'est la version 1.0 d'ailleurs je ne trouve pas la case à cocher du formulaire midi delay tremolo....ou alors je suis passé à côté de quelque chose...Est ce une erreur de version?

[Stuart100]

Hi Gus,

The tremolo delay check box is on the midi form above the keyboard. It looks like ive posted the wrong version. I will check when back at my computer. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers stuart

Hi,

Here is the latest version.

Install. Then run.

Go to the midi menu item, set midi input/output, open port and try delay tremolo check box.

cheers

Hello and thank you, I installed the latest version 1.0.4 the command "Delay Type - Delay to Tremolo DT1" is commanded on the screen.
I can restart the command in the program edit window.

the control switches from the "Type Control Delay" status to "Delay To Tremolo" see attached photos.
Is this the expected result?

[Stuart100]

Hi Gus,

Yes that's the result I was looking for. Good News as Delay Tremolo is Selected by the sysex!

Attached is version 1.0.7 which has a program edit form with the same check box on. But now you can send sysex you choose from the roland midi manual. Ive updated my manual which describes how to this.

Thank you for testing. Just wish I had an RD 2000 to work with. Must keep saving :-)

Cheers

Salut Stuart
version 1.0.7 installation ok .
Bon courage pour la suite.
Cordialement Gus

[Stuart100]

Thanks Gus.

The core of the program is written. The task of adding all the sysex commands is laborous but the difficult bit is done. Any ideas about the layout of the programme edit form would be appreciated. Maybe a sketch would be helpful?

Cheers

Hi,

Here is version 1.09 which has the V Piano editor - Zone One, and Super Natural Piano Editor Zone one. I need a tester to see if the sysex works please. The V Piano is only ever on zone one. I think the Supernatural Natural Piano can occupy other zones, but I think my code only works for zone 1? I can change this and add other zones.

Cheers

Stuart
