The Sound Board

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

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

It's ooout - 1gb of new soundsources, 600 new patches and - blimey! - the patch bay works on my MS20iC! They are clever sausages those Spectrasonics folks.

Updates are out. My update zip was a surprisingly large 1.1gb.

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.
