Possible Ctrlr panel for Kawai K4

Possible Ctrlr panel for Kawai K4

2012-12-18 by betaaffair

I sure did get my hopes up when I read the title of this thread over on the Ctrlr forums:
http://ctrlr.org/forums/topic/kawai-k4k4r-controller-done/

Thought I was done with MidiQuest for ever! Deleted it first thing after I installed Ctrlr. Unfortunately the panel did't work quite right and the creator took it down until updates got it going better and now I can't find it anywhere... anyone out here made their own K4 device panels for either Ctrlr or any other system that will work with Cubase/Nuendo?

Thanks everyone.

I just made a basic panel for the K4.
So far it only allows you to control all the params but DCO1 and Filter1.
Extending to DCO2-4 and Filter 2 is easy but I am no artist - so just wondering on best layout.

In C# I wrote another panel for K4. There I am experimenting with using a 1 - 4 for the DCO and 1 - 2 for filter, then remember the state so rendering/internal values are consistent.

And I will probably make a BCR2000 panel too.

Next steps on the K4 Ctrlr - understand how to handle sysex dumps so as to render panel and load/save to Synth,

Happy to accept beta testers / artists help!

I updated MyK4Panel11.panel at my MiniakTools website

I will modify the K1r panel soon (now that I understand how to trigger K4 feedback I should be able to extend to K1r).

There are some quirks - not least I only work or internal voices (will be easy to extend to Ext but I have no way to test it).
I have not yet looked at decoding the effects -- I only just found out about the sysex for that.

I will think about what to do with multis -- I am interested because I think the K4 is perfect controller for my ESi -- 8 zones, channel aftertouch.

Please let me know of any bugs you find (and how to repro) and I will fix the issue.
Enjoy -- the K1r panel made me spend a whole day playing with that negected synth -- to think I was going to sell it!
