well thanx for the replies so far - first of all i will answer the
questions, which have occurred:

of course the EX800 is quite simple to program, but i find it
extremely annoying having to step through those menues all the time.
oi bought sound-diver just for the synths which are controlled by
these "multifunctional" menues, or don´t have an editor at all -
for example:

- DX7-II-fd
- TX802
- matrix 1000
- JX8P (i don´t have a controller)
- EX800

all of them are in my oppinion hard to deal with and this is why i
went out and bought the software. but now i find the software
annoying, because the synths are only supported partly...

i mean why the f... should i use a software-editor for a synth like
JD800 - it has all the sliders right on the board. they have an
editor for the JD800 - but not for synths, which would really need
an editor (like the Poly/EX800)

this really pisses me off - i have complained to emagic two years
ago and again now - they´re not interested and tell me i should
check the updates to see if i will have what i want some fine day...

brilliant - thanx for the conversation and congradulations to a good
customer-support. what use is a software of a big company like
emagic if it isn´t complete? i can understand, that they have
problems supporting all the NEW synths that come out, BUT we are
talking of VINTAGE synth - their number will not increase anymore!

i don´t understand this, two questions:

1: is there an software-editor (for true parameter-editing) out
there somewhere????

2: which parameters of the EX800 can be ajusted via MIDI/sysex?????

thank you all - best regards, simon





oh and by the way, the name is SCHWARZENEGGER and i am sad that
people, who were not born in USA can´t be elected to beeing
president.

because if it were possible - ARNOLD from old-europe would rule the
USA and that would hopefully change a lot of things to the better...

PEACE!
