Which editor should I get?

Which editor should I get?

2009-09-08 by meatballfulton

I have an Evo desktop and I'm interested in a patch librarian, not so much actual editing. I'm using a laptop with XP SP2. VST support is not important.

I have already downloaded the Soundtower and Evo Jr. editors to try out. I noticed that the V2 Vyzor editor won't be available for another month or so...any idea on the price?

Comments from users about pros and cons of these is appreciated.

Vyzor V2 has been "coming out next month" for the last 18 months. I can't recommend using their software.

Soundtower is the way to go - unless you just want to use sysex files,  
as Peter said.
I own and use both.
I really like the vyzor layout,  but considering you can't even buy  
the 1.0 version now, it's a moot point.

I want to be able to mix and match new banks from archived banks, sysex librarians can't do that (unless you do single patch dumps).

Guess I'll see how I get along with the Soundtower demo.

Thx for the warnings about Vyzor.

Free XP/Vista editor...a work in progress apparently

I really find the Soundtower has some crazy bugs and design flaws, and they never responded to my inquiries.  
I've been trying this newer editor:
http://mri.piranho.de/mrinstruments.html
It seems really well designed.  He isn't much of a self-marketer though, so I don't think many people know about it (and he uses some free hosting thing).  Try it out and report back with your thoughts. 
best,

Cool - what are your impressions so far?

Looks like a clean interface from the screenshots.
Wonder if it works with MEK/PEK/PER
(I'd prefer to try a demo before laying down $35 though.)

The designer does indeed offer a free demo.  Here is the link he sent me
http://rapidshare.com/files/223969015/evolver_ed_hm2.zip
but maybe there is a newer version.  He also sent me a manual.  I encourage anyone to get in touch with him and encourage him to make contact with this user group, who would likely be interested in the tool. 
best,
Ben
