LAYOUT: editor for Yamaha TG500by asylum

Question

Gold

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Yamaha
Summary: The Yamaha TG77 is a 64-voice polyphonic, FM synthesis-based keyboard released in 1992. As Vintage Synth Explorer puts it, "Despite the lack of controls, the TG500 has edit capabilities as extensive as the SY-85, and is easiest to program using an external or software based editor."... And that's EXACTLY where Hans Scholten's extensive layout for the Yamaha TG500 comes in. Almost all of the parameters can be controlled with the layout. A document is provided that describes the design aspects, limitations and work-arounds of the layout, so be sure to check it out. This layout is HUGE!

I made an extensive layout for the Yamaha TG500. Almost all of the parameters can be controlled with the layout. A document is provided that describes the design aspects, limitations and work-arounds of the layout.

Have Fun, Hans Scholten

Congratulations! Huge work. The sheer amount of controls reminds me of my TG77 layout. Also the file size is huge. I dont own a TG500, but it seems to work quite well, although controls are tiny and crowded. Could be some Inspiration.
