Those layouts look great, Guy.

Initially, I purchased MIDI Designer to gain access to my Roland FA-08's synth underbelly. It turns out it has some very nice design capabilities that are absolutely buried. Using MD makes using the Synth much more accessible. I also spent a little time way back designing a rather crude layout for CSS. I'm not using it much anymore (though I should as it works well enough) because Logic now includes Articulation Switching:

Won't clutter up here with more of these Midi Designer Pro templates, but have a KVR thread for those interested. - https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopi ... 3#p7302573 . Up and running now and confirmed working with Omni 2.5:

Mine
Moog Voyager
Roland SH-01a
DSI Oberheim OB-6
Roland VP-03
Roland JU-06

Others
Prophet 12
Roland SE-02

The Moog Voyager and SH-01a in particular do look rather pretty if I do say so myself:

Omnisphere Soundsources 2.6.1c
Includes the following features and fixes:

Tagging Improvements

Omnisphere Patches 2.6.1c
Includes the following features and fixes:

Tagging Improvements
Fixes minor issues in Hardware Profile assignments
Installs Smoke.db to store Smoke Amp impulses

I'm watching tagging stuff even more than normal these days (I know....) working on the 3rd party batch converter. There was a few real howlers in the last one - Roland became a Type all of its own for just one patch, and that's still there. More significantly, When they changed the Synth Pluck category to Synth Short, they forgot to add a Synth Pluck type. Last time there was only one patch tagged with it, and again no change.

Hah, indeed, I still see the Roland type in there. At least it's a cool patch. :)

How is the batch convertor coming along, Guy?

Very very well thanks Jason. A phenomenal amount of work on the part of my partner in crime in particular - I shall be boring everyone at length about it nearer release time. Not imminent, but not a Biblical length wait, hopefully.
