Editor Librarian for A6

Editor Librarian for A6

2005-06-22 by dalimaster2004

Does anyone know of a decent editor librarian for the A6?  Hile the 
front panel is easy enough to edit, I want a way to store additional 
patches.  I need one that can work through a MOTU MIDI interface.  
Thanks

Psicraft Designs has one under development - It will be available for PC
and Mac as a standalone program that can also run as a VST plug-in. The
scheduled release is December 2005, so if you can wait until then, you
won't be dissapointed.

Cheers,

Tony Antoniou,
Psicraft Designs Inc.

Hey Antoniou,

Nice to catch you over here. Can you also give us some info on the evolver 
editor release date? I've been following your link since January but in the 
meanwhile I gave up since the release date kept being postponed.

Is december also the date for the evolver editor release or is only the one 
for the A?.

Either way I think that if you get them to work inside a VST environment 
with adjustable latency compensation we're talking of serious stuff here!

Make it happen!

Rui

Hi Rui,

You got it... The Evolver editor will be out by then too. Many of the
delays are the result of non-editor related development that has been
done on the Vyzor architecture that powers these products. I won't let
something ship unless it's 100% ready. Also, we've been busy developing
OEM editors for TC-Helicon's entire line of voice processors and this
has kept the Evolver project on a back burner for the last 4 months.

We're almost done with the TC-Helicon products now, and will be getting
back to the Evo, Adrenalinn II and A6 editors very soon.

All the best,

	Tony

Re: Editor Librarian for A6

Good Deal.  

A word of advice for PSicraft.  I have Midiquest 9XL and cannot get 
it to work.  I have been on the phone with the company several 
times.  I have a couple of MOTU MTP AVs interfacing my midi equipment 
and SOnar running my studio (had SX too).  

MQ blames Sonar and MOTU for driver issues (I have the latest on 
both).  While I am sure it is difficult to deal with other 
manufacturers specs, I would think that since MOTU, Sonar and SX are 
some of the biggest names in the biz, a company has to overcome those 
issues to have a usable product.

One further suggestion - I collect vintage synths.  Having a 
librarian for a memorymoog, MKS80, Xpander... would be hugely helpful 
since memory is limited.  

One final point - MQ has told me they wont make editor/librarians for 
TC equipment.  I have several choce TC boxes and I would happily pay 
to have a better way to edit my Fireworks than on the front screen.  

Best of luck.  I will be watching for the program.

Hi Dalimaster,

Thanks for the notes. Your points are well made, and I agree with their
intent: Supporting the biggest names in the biz is very important to any
company's success and reputation. I did have a quick look through the
Midi Quest XL user database and see that there are MQXL users who use
Sonar, SX and MOTU MTP Avs without issue, so perhaps another round of
tech support from Sound Quest might be in order.

When using an Ed/lib as a plug-in, it is important to realize that
today's DAW plug-in standards are designed for Note, CC and NRPN data,
and not the kind of SysEx communications that an ed/lib generates and
responds to. Consequently, the best course of action is to use a
multi-client-driver MIDI interface that allows the ed/lib to access it
directly, in parallel with the DAW. I'm not sure if this is related to
your Midi Quest / MOTU MTP issues or not, but I thought it was worth
mentioning.

With regards to our forthcoming single-instrumend ed/lib products,
instruments are selected for support based on the hardware
manufacturer's willingness to provide Psicraft with SysEx documents and
a unit for development purposes. We are discussing such an arrangement
with TC Electronic now, but this will be a future product and not one
that has been released in previous years. As with any other business, we
can only invest time into products that sell enough units to cover the
cost of development, and this keeps us mostly focused on new or recent
releases, unfortunately.

Midi Quest XL does support all the vintage synths you listed (MKS-80,
MemoryMoog & Xpander), however... One more reason to give Sound Quest's
tech support another try.

All the best,

Tony

Last time I used them MOTU drivers for Win platform were terrible. I 
have a Midi Timpepice AV something or other that just failed on large 
sysex dumps. Also had problems with the Midiman interfaces for similar 
reasons. 

I went through the same discussions you did with MQ and they suggested 
I look at the Edirol midi interfaces. I did and have had great success 
with large .syx dumps. It made a huge difference with midi timing as 
well.... although several of the MQ editors still have unrelated 
problems, the A6 being one of them.
