Re: freeware VSTi MED editor

2008-02-19 by staplesyrup

hey, glad it works.

1. the controls layout is copied from the mono evolver keyboard , rather than the desktop 
evolver, because the keyboard version has the controls in the order of the signal path.
 they are a little cramped, but i tried to make the interface as small as possible so it 
doesn't cover your whole screen.
its as simple as i could make an interface with 128 parameters.
If you want to rearrange the interface I'll give you the MAX patch! 

2. I'm not sure why the UDP app is hogging your MIDI port. i am able to use the same port 
in Live to send MIDI notes and program changes to the evolver.

there is an updated version of the editor on my blog, only for OS X at present. it loads up 
data more reliably, and the installation is much simpler.

I will post further versions as i test this one out.
