Ios sending sysex for Roland VT4
Hi
I would like to build a controller app for the Roland VT4. But everything is configured in Sysex and I was wondering which is 'easier' to create a patch on, Touchosc or Midi Designer?
Comments
I don't find one easier than the other really. I tend away from TouchOSC simply because it only has "rotary" motion for knobs and I can't stand that. Midi Designer Pro 2 has the standard vertical/horizontal movement that we're used to on iOS for turning knobs. (You can kludge together something with hidden faders, etc, on TouchOSC but that just seems dumb to me.)
Also, TouchOSC doesn't have any built-in Bluetooth connection dialog. So if you want to use BLE Midi for something you need to establish the connection first using something that supports it, like Midimittr, AUM, etc. Once you do that then the Bluetooth connection is available to TouchOSC.
I find Midi Designer Pro ugly, and like the looks of TouchOSC better, but I think if I was going to build something complex I would use Midi Designer Pro.
You might also look at Mozaic. It has various UI screens, and general programming capability, so it can handle any SysEx challenges.
Yes I agree on this part too! ok thanks I'll figure out how sysex works first and how they are coded in the apps.
I haven't really used bluetooth yet.
I haven't used Mozaic, and I check out what I can find on UT. I hope it's not so much of writing codes. I'm not a programmer, but with used Touchosc and Lemur before.
Do you know of any tutorials on how to program sysex messages?
I just found this and a thread on Audiobus on Mozaic,
Event processor from Midi solutions looks good.
Just want to say, how to program SysEx messages depends a lot on the equipment vendor. What works for an Expert Sleepers ES9 won't apply to Roland gear. But it's all about putting the required data between the vendor's header and the standard trailer. In Mozaic, you do that by filling an array, then sending the array. So you can patch a message together by appending fragments to create the full message.
