I just have managed to get the interaction between the SID and the new editor running - here are all relevant files which are necessary for the update:
and click on the appr. version of your operating system - take the JRE (runtime environment) if you only want to use the editor and don’t plan to program code
After java is ready, unpack the jsynth archive, go into the directory and click on the “run.bat” file or just type “java JSynthLib” within a command shell. Now the editor pops up (hopefully)
go into the Config->Preferences menu, MIDI-tab, select the MIDI driver (Windows: WireProvider) and MIDI devices
go into the Config->Synths menu and check if the MIDIbox SID driver has been notified. If not, add it manually. Check also if the MIDI In/Out port of your MBSID is set correctly
Create a new library (Library->new)
Create a new patch (Patch->new)
Right-Click on the patch and select “Edit”
Have fun! — if your MBSID is connected correctly, all parameters should be directly changed when you move a slider. The editor comes also with a MIDI-Through function which allows you to play notes on a keyboard and to change sound parameters at the same time
Finally unpack the example_patches_v2.zip archive and load the all.patchlib file - it contains 15 sounds. The librarian allows you to load, play, modify, save the patches
The MIDI channel allows you to select the channel for common MIDI events, so that different sounds can be played when more than one SID is connected to a MIDI chain.
The device ID is the same for SysEx messages, it allows you to configure a SID module independent from the selected MIDI channel.
The configuration of both “channels” is described in the Questions & Answers section of the MBSID page.
I’ve prepared the MBSID driver for the next official release of JSynthLib, that’s the reason why it isn’t selected by default anymore.
To enable the driver you’ve to go into the Config->Synths menu, press the “Add Device” button, select the MIDIbox SID driver, thereafter the “show details” button if you want to change the MIDI channel & Device ID
