JSynthLib V0.18 w/ MBSID V1.6 Editor

Hi,

the new version allows to edit the additional parameters of MIDIbox SID V1.6 (curve, assigns, phase synchronization, keyboard zones):

Also the layout has been improved - now we have some nice knobs instead of faders :slight_smile:

Best Regards, Thorsten.

thanks thorsten!!

just one question: when do you go to  sleelp??   ;D

It was my MIOS robot who posted this article :wink:

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Thorsten,

I’m not sure if this is covered anywhere on the midibox/ucapps site - but is there a section with links to tutorials/tips/how-to’s/etc for writing applications?

I know this is mainly a hardware site, but for those of us with programming skills who (inspired by this great work) wish to create programs for interacting with their hardware, a list of resources for using MIDI/sound with Java (for its cross-platform abilities) might be a good idea.

What do you think?

Cheers.

Hi Meeshka,

What do you think?

I’ve no oversight about the current software projects for MIDI, so this is something which has to be driven by the community.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hey Meeshka, I have been working with Java a bit. I have been writing a jsynthlib editor for my korg MicroKorg, and I wrote a ROUGH midi step sequencer. If you want, you can email me to compare notes. Justin@Ahrens.Net

Thanks Justin, have just sent an email to you.

oooo a microKorg interface. :slight_smile: Sounds awesome! Any chance I could have a look?

David, I’d be happy to send you a copy. I am on vacation right now. When I get back, I’ll let you know. It is still a little rough. I have been figuring out the sysex format via trial and error.

Justin

Sweet!! PM me when you get back. Have fun vacationing!

A stupid question: how do I start the program? I have Java Runtime installed, but can’t start the program. Is the .class file the “executable”?  ???

i think you have to start the program via a command shell, but i’m not sure; there is an installation “tutorial” on the jsynthlib website.

if you follow that info, you should be able to figure it out.

good luck,

marcel

another question: or better a problem:

With my old jsynth I had no problems but with this baby-

When I click to edit a bank, ->the normal bank comes and under 1 second later a message comes: ERROR! no patch is selectet!  

OK I click ok (in the hope to mark some patch) under 1 second later the same message I cant do anything-yea ofcourse strg alt entf  ;D

Whats the problem: I have Installed: win98-2 and Java 2 runtime environment standart editon v1.3.1_11

I don’t know why this should happen, anyhow - it makes sense to update java to >= 1.4.2 due to the better MIDI support

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I have seen this error a bunch of times while working on my own editor. I believe it is a problem with jsynth. My usual solution has been to restart the computer.  Sorry I can’t help more.

After I downloadet the new java - its running great

Nobody really answered Jurbo’s question about running JSynth…

I have the same problem.  According to the docs, there is a JsynthLib.jar file.   Where do you get that?  I have downloaded all of the stuff from the JSynthLib site but do not find a file by that name.  and (if i am reading the docs correctly) that is what gets called in the batch file.

is that jar file a part of JSynthLib, or is it located somewhere else on the web… sun… tucows…?  i’ve googled for it and it only appears on the JSynthLib faq .

have not built the mb-sid yet but do have about 5 c64,128,amiga’s in the attic.

Hi Yurbo and gbeth

I can only say what to do under wiiindoooows98-2

Do you have a actually version of Jaaava like: 1.4.2.05

No:  www.java.com download it! and install it!

Do you have downloadet Jsynt, of course yes!- take a look in the folder: and start (- click at) the run icon (a dos icon)

This programm print config loadet-and after this a window is opend

(you must wait a while when you have a "slower PC)

Yea here is Jsynth lib.

Go to config -> prefences -> midi -> take windows wire provider

Go to config - synth - click add device - seek midibox sid in the list -click it-  

Then select the midiports

Have you downloadet the example patch?

No - download at www.ucapps.de->mbhp projects–Midibox Sid-> under Sound patches: example patches

Yes- Then open it- (libery - open)

Now there is a new patch - click rigth mouse switch- -> edit

Now you have the screen with the controllers

and dont forget to press cc on your sid -

Thats all I can say up to now.

Hope that helps

"Hi Yurbo and gbeth "
