"a software application that works with your Roland mc-202 synthesizer
what are its features:
• complete application overhaul from v1.0
• go from mc-202 sequence on your synth to a MIDI file
• go from a MIDI file to an mc-202 sequence
• edit mc-202 sequences in the software, not on your mc-202's little screen
• easily copy patterns between internal and external mc-202 sequences
• preview sequences with built in mc-202-like softsynth, GM synth, or MIDI device
• save visual mc-202 "snapshots" of front panel synth settings
• exchange mc-202 patch "snapshots" using easily shareable text files
• calibrate the program to your specific MC-202 (old analog synths can be finicky!) "

Except the GUI I don't see any similarity to MC 202, the MC doesnt have MIDI. Weird app. Looks like another "wannabe" lookalike thingy.
ReplyDeletepac - you obviously did not follow the link. and if so, did not read carefully enough.
ReplyDeleteamazing program to translate midi files into the audio needed for the tape in / backup. if i owned an MC-202 i'd find that very handy indeed. :)
Very cool!
ReplyDeletehmmm...it seems that one should be able to load the audio 202hack spits out into a sampler, and trigger the 202 that way, as long as you don't change the pitch
ReplyDeletei don't mind programming the 202 as it is, only being able to hold 1 pattern is what i don't like, this sounds like it might be a good way to integrate a mc202 into an ableton live set with ableton sending 202hack audio on a separate output to the 202
this gives me some ideas, very innovative software
Thanks for the comments, I'm Dan Nigrin, the developer of the application.
ReplyDelete@pac - yes, please take a bit of a deeper dive. The softsynth aspect of the app is really quite minor, and more of a convenience than anything else.
@noisesource - thanks! What's especially new and cool in this version is that you can now go the other way too: from MC-202 sequence to MIDI file...
@natefrogg - the programming of the MC-202 from the app is not in real time - so triggering it from Ableton might be fine just to program the synth at the start of the track, but that's about it. Also, small detail, the MC-202 holds 2 sequences (though can only play 1 at a time).
Best,
Dan
sorry had a stupid moment this morning!
ReplyDelete@ dan! thank you for clarification, when 2.0 comes out i'll still get it, i'm thinking i may be able to take the 202 out of the mix, stop the midi clock, dump a sequence into it with 202 hack, then use something like a mungosync to bring it right back into the mix again, things that make you go hmmm....
