Rainer: Founding Father of the Roland Library

Rainer built the first Platinum layout in the history of the MIDI Designer community — a single editor covering eight classic Roland polysynths from the ’80s: the JX-3P (with Organix and KiwiTechnics mods), the MKS-30, the JX-8P, the Juno-106, the Alpha Juno 1 and 2, the MKS-50, and the MKS-70. That layout didn’t just set the bar — it invented the activity. Dozens of community contributors have cited it as the reason they started building. Rainer also built a dedicated editor for the JX-10/MKS-70 running the Vecoven PWM firmware upgrade. If you own vintage Roland rack gear, you’re in the right place.

Turn your iPad, iPhone, or Mac into a custom control surface for your synths, pedals, and plugins. MIDI Designer Pro X layouts are built by musicians in the Community, who own the same gear you do. The layouts are curated for quality before they're listed here. Find your gear, download a layout, and start playing.

    An historical first, Rainer's first layout controls many of the most important 80s synths by Roland: JX-3P with Organix mod, JX-3P with KiwiTechnics upgrade, MKS-30 with Johannes Hausensteiner mod, JX-8P, Juno 106, Roland Alpha Juno 1 & 2 + MKS-50, Roland MKS-70 A + B, and the Roland MKS-70 Patch. This layout inspired the entire Community to get to work. It's not just a classic: it's the first Platinum Layout ever, so it's not just a work of art. It's a trail-blazing work of art which inspired so many others. Thanks to Rainer for inventing this activity!

    Enjoy!
