JV-1080 editor template?
Is there one available for iOS? I'm thinking of picking up one of these.
Comments
The Roland Boutique synths don't take a direct MIDI CC-In (I know it can replicate another of the same Boutique synth if they're chained, but that's supposedly it for parameter editing via-MIDI), so no.
This was the reason I never got any of those synths, btw.
They use sysex for editing. I found a pc/mac editor: http://akatuystudio.com/
And I know Midi Designer has a template for the JD-990, so it would be cool to have one for the JV-1080 too. I won't be making it though!
2016 and using SysEx...that's what I call prohibitive featuring.
The JV-1080 is not one of the Boutique line. It's an older rackmount monster that seriously needs an external editor. It's very powerful but only 1U rack height and very fiddly to program via the front panel.
Go for the 2080 if you can afford it. I had one for many years and it was fine to programme through the front panel.
I know that...I was specifically talking about how the Boutique synths were intentionally limited to only accept SysEx in for external editing of parameters.
I thought they did respond to CC's but only on a limited basis. I'm not in the market so I never looked into it further.
No they don't, as mentioned already in this thread, the Boutique synths take SysEx only.
I had a chance to get it cheap a couple of years ago but waited too long but missed out.
This is what has got me interested in the 1080 over later models:
You mean the soundset?But the description says it's for later models as well...
Yes, but the sound of the later machines is different ... they get more 'digital'/vst-like. I'm after the warmer flavor you get from old romplers. The old Kawai K1r I have, for example has some mind blowing sounds on it you just can't recreate with a vst/ios app.
Fyi, there are editors for the JU06 and JP08 on the TB MIDI Stuff forums.
Wow. That's a nice sound set. Considering how lush the pads are, I'm surprised at how awful every single bass sound is!
I'm also considering buying an old rompler for cheap and the 1080 is high on the list.Also the Emu Sampler from the 90s (had one and it's awesome) or a proteus 2000 .I had a K1 back then but i would never have said it sounds"warm"
I would be in for a K3 with analog filter but they are too expensive for my taste.
A 1080 editor for TB Midi stuff...and i would definitely get one i guess
I have seen the Emu Sampler about, but I have no idea how I'd get samples in and out of it. Most old samplers seem to need old computer hardware to sync with, floppys etc... The proteus 2000 is tempting ... it goes for about the same price as a 1080.
personally i would only get an emu sampler today if it comes with a library (internal HD or zip drive) although sampling on the bigger models (E64xx) is dead easy.You can have a lot of stuff automated,including samples mapped over the keyboard etc.The proteus is tempting since it has at least some knobs.
Well there's no turning back now. I just picked one of these up down the road for about $100.
$100
That's a result!
great price.
since you made me curious i've searched a little more and it looks like you can define 3 midi cc to different destinations but that's it.The rest is sysex...or worse
check this thread for more infos:

ah well,i definitely need to get an old rompler as well.Even if it brings back the pain of edit their sounds.Somehow and strangely i want some work back instead of having just"everything"under my fingertips.
Besides,(many) old rompler just sound really good.
One reason I became interested in getting back into hardware is when listening to some old mixes of mine they seemed to have more 'air' in them than my recent ITB/ipad stuff. It could be the outputs or the way the effects are set up on some of these machines to work just right in a mix. I'll still be using my ipad to record them.
Front panel programming can be a challenge but it's not necessarily any harder than doing it from a computer editor once you learn the layout. And the JV has plenty of dedicated buttons that make it easy compared to the Kawai K1r or the TX81Z.
For any of these old synths that only have sysex programming (or the new Roland boutique synths for that matter)... Can any of the iOS DAWs automate these sysex parameters? Like, create an automation lane and draw an envelope that changes over time? Auria Pro? Cubasis? Modstep?
You can by using something like TB MIDI Stuff as a translator.
I have a vintage Roland Juno-106. I also have a Midi Designer Pro layout for the Juno... What I'd like to do is to be able to record slider movements on my Juno into Auria Pro, and have it play them back.
Can I use Midi Designer Pro as a sort of two-way translator?
Like, on record:
Wiggle slider on Juno > MDP converts it to midi cc > Auria Pro records the cc automation.
Then on playback:
Auria plays back midi cc automation > MDP receives it and translates it to Juno sysex > Juno responds to automation.
Is this possible?
What about roland JD-800! I have one, its the one with a the sliders instead of knobs. Besides that if there was an iPad editor it would be so great!
I've released patch and rhythm editors for the JV-1080 today in my iPad app, Patch Base:
https://coffeeshopped.com/patch-base
It lets you fetch patches from your synth, visualize, and edit them. You can also store a library of patches on your iPad.
There are also editors for the JV-2080, XP-80, and XP-60 (and a lot of other synths).
