CONCEPTS
The Patch Editor is a co pact hardware unit designed to co unicate with various synthesizers
and provide control over the synthesizer para eters that can be changed. The Patch Editor concept
was arrived at because of the frustration of the para eter driven editing syste adopted by any
synthesizer anufacturers. This was originally done to save anufacture costs and reduce
synthesizer size as fewer parts are required but this concept akes it difficult to edit para eter
settings quickly, especially in a 'live' situation. The Patch Editor puts you back in control by giving
you back the knobs.
Early on in the design phase it was decided not to include the Roland© PG cable for ats as these
are too achine specific and even vary between the different Roland© odels. A special cable is
required to interface the Patch Editor to the Roland© JX-3P and the PG-800 interface due to the
rather unusual interface for ats but a standard MIDI cable is used for all other synthesizer types.
The Roland© JX-3P and PG-800 cables are easily ade and details are included in the synthesizer
detail tables for the Roland© JX-3P and PG-800.
Each active controller in the Patch Editor is lit by a LED. If a control is unused it will be dark and will
have no effect. This has added to the cost of aking the Patch Editor but it was felt that the visual
feedback was i portant for error free ease of use. Switches can be Red or Green. If a switch has an
off state then this will be nor ally shown as red with active states showing green. Switches that have
a nor al and inverted state will show nor al as green and inverted as red. Switches that have
dyna ic settings will flash slowly for these settings and show steady for the non dyna ic settings.
The axi u value of each control is synthesizer specific and can vary fro 4 ( the axi u noise
level on a Roland© Juno-1) to 256 on a Roland© JX-3P and 4096 on Kiwitechnics Korg Polysix &
Roland Juno-106 Upgrades. These will nor ally be 0-63, 0-100 or 0-127 for ost synthesizers.
The display will always show the control accessed and the level set. This is si ilar to the way the
Roland© PG-1000 operates.
The Patch Editor can be controlled via MidiCC with a MidiCC co and being provided for each
control. This allows full co puter control of the Synthesizer except for the Roland© JX-3P or PG-800
patches. On the JX-3P or PG-800 MIDI note data cannot be sent via the cables but all para eters
can be controlled. Due to the non-MIDI for at of the output for the JX-3P & PG-800 all other
synthesizer types are disabled while the JX-3P or PG-800 is selected. When any other synthesizer
type is selected only the JX-3P and PG-800 are disabled. MidiCC co ands that are invalid or
unused are either ignored or set to the nearest level depending on the control involved.
