[Jsynthlib-devel] Re: novation k-station / akai sg01v

[<nx...@li...>]

Hello All

I am new to this project.  I am a software developer in my day job and like to muck about with synths after hours.  I don't have a lot of time to devote to it, but I was thinking of getting involved and helping with a driver or two.  The synth I was thinking of starting with was the akai SG01v as it is not too complex.  Has anyone else done anything for this or similar?

I also have a novation a-station (currently stored away).  I haven't used it recently, but I could get it out and make an attempt.  I imagine that from a midi point of view there would be virtually no difference from the k-station.  Maybe there would also be common ground with the nova which is already supported.  Would that be a good starting point?

My final question is has anyone written a driver for the korg x5d?  I imagine the X3 driver would be just about good enough, maybe with a few tweaks.

As a newcomer, would I be better tackling a simple synth from scratch, or a more complex one, but  where there was a very similar driver already written to use as a starting point?  Some helpful advice from the old-timers would be welcome.

Nicolas
