Hi from Italy,
I've found this editor while trying to convert FB01 sound in some FM VSTi patches.
I like your efforts (i'm a programmer too, so i see what you're doing here) but i feel that the UI could benefit from some improvement:
1) Sizeable window: it's one of the most boring things to do, but we all start to have huge monitors.... why keep your app at that size? You could stretch the bank lists to fill the form height, or the operators envelopes graphs...
2) Right click: allows context menus on voice cells, and so on, and show the hotkeys for the commands all menus: it become faster to do massive banks reorganization.
3) why if no midi ports are defined i can't load sysex files? i could work completly "offline" (without any midi port/equipement available) as your program makes managing banks possible...or not?
Thanks for your efforts.
Good evening from France.
Thank your for your suggestions. The sizable windows should be
a good new functionality, but as you said it, it is a really boring
programming task to do, so I will do it if I have some time.
Bank editing is also improvable.
Your last proposition is interesting, saying that, I do not mean
the others are not, but I never thought of this because of the
automatic mechanism of retrieving the informations of the FB01
when you set up the MIDI interface.
The next version will come when I will find someone who will
lend me his MAC. According to the amount of free time I have,
I will try to include your suggestions. Remember I do it for free,
and I do not get that much rewards.
Have a nice day,
Frédéric
