Also suggest giving the Electra One a look, especially if you are comfortable with a little Lua coding. There is a preset I wrote for the 4.1? firmware, and I also wrote a DX7 editor that might be useful. FWIW.

Bit hard to diagnose without more info. But app crashes for me are often the result of a midi loop. You send midi data from the editor to the FI and it comes screaming back to the editor, and goes out again etc., etc., and the app crashes. Maybe check if you have midi thru enabled on the FI.

Another check would be to turn the fi midi thru on and route the midi out from the fi back to the mc. Then send a test message from the mc and see (using a midi monitor - the mc editor has one) if the mc receives the message back. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you would want the fi...

Just to troubleshoot, taking the fi out of the chain does mc to hx stomp work? You also could try putting the fi last with midi thru enabled on the stomp. But that really shouldn't be necessary if the midi routing is set correctly. Regarding the roland midi to USB cable. All I can say is that I...

I was able to sniff the midi flow between the editor and the synth (the trick is to make sure you are the "person in the middle" of the conversation). The SysEx message to request a patch from the FI is: F0 00 21 11 05 40 03 dd F7 where dd is the patch number (in Hexadecimal). For example...

@Quatschmacher . Just FYI. I found I small typo in the 4.11 User Guide on page 78 when I was mapping note lengths on my midi controller. I think the first 1/16D is not meant to be there: PULSE WIDTH LFO FRQ (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16D, 1/16T, 1/4D, 1/8D, 1/16D) .

You might consider something like the launchpad pro mk3 if you are looking for something small for sound design.

Or the Keystep Pro.

FYI. The app has been updated. It now populates the controller with the FI's parameter settings when a patch is loaded and you can save an edited patch to the FI. In some ways it is an alternative to the stand alone editor in that it provides hands on control of parameters via knobs and buttons...

Not sure if anyone here uses the Electra One midi controller (Electra One), but I have programmed up a preset for it that provides pretty comprehensive control of the synth engine parameters of the Future Impact. For those who like to turn physical knobs rather than use a mouse this could be a...

Has anyone else noticed that with new 4.11 editor the display for the "INTERNAL" settings only show correctly if you click on "EXTERNAL" and back to "INTERNAL"?

I was able to unmask the bits and am now able to turn sync on and off from the controller. Thanks again Peter.

Thanks so much for pointing me to the NRPN documentation. I have made considerable progress programming them up in the Electra One. I see what you mean by the shared NRPNs. Not sure the Electra One can handle that either without going deeper into the Lua scripting. Do you happen to know the...

Oh. That is extremely useful. Thanks!! I use an Electra One Mkii to control my various synth's parameters and should be able to program up the NPRNs for the FI. I was seriously tempted by the Mortrix. Cheers John

That's really interesting. I figured something had to be going on in the background to set the parameter values. Is the NRPN document shareable? I will give serious thought to what parameters are most relevant to me for Midi control, but the top of mind things are those that I would be most...
