Preliminary HAWK800 editor demo

Preliminary HAWK800 editor demo

2014-10-08 by ultragalore@...

Hi all,


After building my HAWK800 yesterday I noticed editing the HAWK  Poly800 parameters is quite a task now so  I started developing a browser based editor which you can find here:


KORG Poly 800 + HAWK-800 Voice Editor

KORG Poly 800 + HAWK-800 Voice Editor
Poly 800 / HAWK-800 Voice Editor This page requires the Jazz-Plugin ... Select MIDI OUT Port Available MIDI OUT ports: None selected Select MIDI IN Port Available MIDI IN ports: None selected
View on www.cx5m.net
Preview by Yahoo


It needs the jazz-soft MIDI plugin, but once installed you can select the proper MIDI OUT port for your HAWK Poly (It's also possible to select another MIDI IN port for fiddling on a masterkeyboard) and browse a bit easier to the extensive list of parameters on the reborn HAWK800 Poly by means of the DCO/VCF/LFO/... buttons on the lower part of the page.


It's very, very beta so - I'll be working on it, rearranging buttons, saving slider settings etc.. but I already found it useful to get an insight on the new HAWK possibilities and wanted to share it..

This looks great but I am having trouble getting Jazz-Soft working on my Fedora 18/Firefox machine.

I copied the .so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Set perm's to 755 and chowned root:root but no good.

:-(

By the way, I have a feature request out that is going to allow an absolute value mode for CC parameter changes so that you can send a real value rather than the current scaled values. That is, all parameter change CC data values are currently set up so that all a CC data value of zero (0) means set parameter to minimum and a CC data value of 127 means set parameter to maximum.

Quite a few HAWK owners don't like that at all. What they asked for was that CC data values would be the actual parameter values.

Eventually, I am going to add a global mode that allows switching between "absolute" and "scaled". For now, we only have scaled CC parameter values.

I noticed that on the scaling - it took a bit getting used to, but I imagine the scaling you made is a handy feature when you want to make a template for midi controllers that don't support value ranges.

I already thought it might change so I made the slider table in such a way that I can easily change the parameter range calculation.

These changes are ofcourse a bit dodgy when you make an editor for HAWK. I hope the rest of the implementation will not change that much.

The Jazz-plugin is quite new on the linux platform indeed so I can imagine that might give some glitches. it would be great if browsers would support MIDI straight from W3C specs, but at the moment this MIDI definition (chrome canary has it I believe)  is even more beta than my editor...

I think I figured a way to get it working on Macs.




goto


http://ctrlr.org/


download

Ctrlr-5.2.120.dmg                    01-Sep-2014 18:18   45M 

it's here..

http://ctrlr.org/nightly/Ctrlr-5.2.120.dmg


that should open up in your OS and install


try to open some of the example panels found here

http://ctrlr.org/panels/





if you can get any of them that are .bpanelz to open, then I can send you the .bpanelz file for my GUI and you can try to open it in that OS release of Ctrlr I used on Win7.

then you can resave it as a stand alone version that will be simpler to load... or keep editing it if you'd like using Ctrlr
Ctrlr is a very powerful custom MIDI gui editor..  a bit complicated to figure at first though.

My panel is not complete yet, but most of the better parts are all there.
It also has some scripting in it that will fetch all parameters and begin to refresh most of the GUI knobs, etc. when you change patches via the GUI.  That way you can see where you're at in how the voice is built.


Give it a try.. I bet it will load up on your Mac.

Hi Blaine,

I tried to use ctrlr for my TX81Z but it clogs up my computer big time - even on a 2.5GHz i7 which is crazy... Then I started writing the TX81Z voice analyzer:
I managed to parse TX81Z SysEx messages on this one and display the EG's graphically.

So after I got my HAWK kit I adapted that editor to the Poly 800. Come to think of it - actually Ctrlr is the reason why I wanted to run synth editing from a browser.

sounds like you had a buggy version
seems every version has some kind of glitch in it..  but it's free and cool when it works right.

how long ago did you try Ctrlr?

that stinks it did that.  it only uses up a ton of RAM on me if I have huge pics included in the panel.
