all parameters seem to work, it was a pain to get them right because yamaha swapped all op2 and op3 sysex in the manual
let me know if something is not working. it should be fairly easy adaptable to other 4-op fm synths (i don’t have a dx-9)
i’m thinking of making a definition for my yamaha fs1r and TG-77 but the parameter count is HUGE on those. it would be cool to have graphic envelopes for fm-synths
Added ability to specify delay between midi messages for synths with midi buffer/speed problems (SynthDefinition.delay_between_midi_messages). Implemented the delay for TX81Z definition.
I cannot believe it, I’ve combed through the internet and was unable to find a functional linux-compatible editor - and for that matter, here it is, as a Renoise tool!
My newly acquired TX7 is in the mail, as soon as it arrives I will test how it works with Guru and give praise once more!!
Or contribute, if needed
I have to read the whole thread to see how the support for Tetr4 is - I’ve been working like mad to create a PureData based editor - and again, here it was
Will test it as soon as I get home
Great idea the Guru tool, big thanks for making the effort to write it!!!
I have some troubles with my synth definition (Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1): some parameters need negative NRPN values (modulation matrix) and this is how they are managed according to the manual :
How can I do that in Guru (the data entry MSB thing) ?
So, I get -63 to +63 on the Shruthi, with default_value setting the modulation amount to 0.
But of course, in Guru, the slider displays values 193 to 319.
The tools are not running in a real-time thread, so you won’t get far when you need exact time critical responses.
If you can live with some inconsistencies, you could try that method.
hej cornbeast, forum, renoise,
(first post here woohoo!)
i just found a JX-8P in the trash (yes: insane) and i am really thrilled of the possibility of tracking this synth with renoise. but i am having trouble getting guru to work. since i just found the synth i am quite new to that too, so i am not ruling out that i am doing something wrong on that end. i am receiving MIDI notes from renoise just fine. but there is no reaction/changes in sound when i tweak parameters in guru…?
am i missing something really obvious here?
/j
hm… i did that, but still i get no reaction on the synth end…? and i think i put in the right MIDI channel. as the JX-8P plays MIDI notes that i send on this channel (1) just fine. also the synth changes settings when i change program in the renoise ext midi instrument setting, but nothing happens when i tweak parameters in guru…? should the JX-8P be in some special edit mode or something?
I did not have to make any setting in my jx8p, it has just worked straight off, but then a previous owner could have changed and stored some setting. Maybe you should check the manual.
thanks for helping me out Cornbeast!
woohoo!)
