Roland Alpha Juno-2/MKS-50 cannot send full banks to synth #307
Comments
Sure! Are the patches fully compatible? Then it would effectively be the same adaptation like in the DW-8000/EX-8000 case? |
Yes, the Tone Parameters should be the same, looking at both manuals (MKS-50 and aJUNO) |
update @christofmuc I compiled a user bank and tried to send It to the aJUNO. Is does not work. When saving the Bank to sysex it writes all patches. Which woud look like this. This a bank with 64 patches. with 2 patches that contain tone parameters and 62 empty patches.
In short: a single patch can be temporarily sent to the aJuno (to the edit buffer), but sending (and writing ) an entire bank of 64 patches to the Memory Bank of the aJUNO does not yet work. Neither does writing a compatible sysex file which could then be send to the aJUNO with e.g. SendSX. Peter |
So KK should just be able to write a aJUNO compatible patch bank.
This is also the structure KK is able to read when importing patch banks via F3, so you probably have figured this all out long ago! ;) Now there just needs to be a fuction which makes KK write a syx file according to this structure. Would this be possible? Peter |
One official Factory bank (FACTORYA.SYX) is here:
|
i copied the almost empty bank (only the first 2 patches) and the FACTORYA bank here into one box in order to compare the length of the lines and to understand the structure.
|
#296 i believe this is exactly that |
Yes, it is similar. But this one here is for the Roland aJUNO, the other one for the Korg DW-8000. |
The MKS-50 has three different formats (to remind myself here):
In files found in the Internet, all 3 bank types appear. But to send a bank to the synth we need to use either format 2 or 3. When we want to save the patches to a file and be able to send it from some other application, the non-handshake method is better, so we should probably should go for the BLD format. I don't think this is implemented yet, the trick is that we store all patches as APR messages in the database (so we can send them to the edit buffer), but the conversion from APR to BLD is not implemented yet. Not impossible hard to do, just work. |
Hi Christof,
I can say KK works well with the aJUNO except for one minor issue which I will post next.. so why not add an official, named adaption to the KK release?
