M1Ked v1.0 for the Amiga
If you´re running kick >= 2.0, then this
one would probably suit you better than the stuff I can come
up with. Mine is made to comply with 1.2, so if you don´t
need it, go for MSE.
M1Ked features, good and bad:
- M1Ked is a virtual slider box
for the Oberheim Matrix-1000 rack synth.
- It should run on any Amiga with
kick>=1.2 and midi.library installed, including A2000A and
A1000.
- At present, M1Ked will probably
not run on NTSC machines. If I get requests, I´ll fix it.
- It is small, ~30k.
- It should live happily alongside
any midi.library compliant programs.
- M1Ked functions like the sliders
and buttons on the Roland Juno106; only the parameters you change
are affected (with one exception, VCO2 Noise on/off).
- No permanent changes are recorded
until you say so.
- M1Ked is not a librarian.
- M1Ked does not read patch data
from the Matrix: When you switch to a new patch to edit, the
displayed parameters do not change. This is a trade-off, if you
want to add such a feature, mail me, and I´ll send you
the source. With my present setup, I don´t need it (it
would require recabling for every patchread), therefore I didn´t
code it. I might add it if I ever get around to expanding my
MIDI switcher.
- M1Ked routes MIDI-data sent
on any channel out again, therefore you can edit in realtime
(if the Matrix can cope with your edits, it sometimes hangs due
to too much SysEx - maybe it´s just mine having a bad OS?
NewsFlash: Actually, it´s a bug in the M1K, if you send
one of the Fixed modulations (I can´t remember which at
the moment) a zero value, the machine hangs. Duh. M1Ked v1.0
recognises this, of course, and takes appropriate action.)
- The WB-icon is really cool (==
The Oberheim logo, as seen in the background). Bad design has
never looked better.
- M1Ked is mail-ware, if you use
it, send me a mail (and your latest hit record?).
