Question

Is it possible to edit Yamaha Plg150An voices with Midi Designer?

Comments

Hi and thanks for your question. First of all, do you have this modular synthesis plugin system? Do you know if it responds to MIDI control at all? For everybody's reference, manual is here http://www.retrevo.com/support/Yamaha-PLG150-AN-manual/id/961ag011/t/2/

Hi, I tried this with MIDI Designer and so far it seems to be working for the CC's available.  I'm not sure if I can access all of the functionality of this card yet but I am able to modulate filter cut off and resonance with it.  It is installed on a Motif ES7.  It would be cool to have a collection of patches for various synths based on MIDI Designer!

I couldn't agree more about a collection of patches for various synths (as well as DAWs, soft-synths, effects, etc). The roadmap for right now, post 1.3.7 is: 1) get more tutorials up 2) create and release the iPhone/iTouch version and 3) provide a platform for crowdsourcing layouts for various MIDI targets (synths, etc.). Thanks so much for checking out MD and for participating here.

Answer 1

From the manual, which is here, the answer might be "yes," depending on what you mean by "edit voices." I think you can alter voices on the fly via MIDI control.

The longer answer, though, is: if you have one and can try it out with MIDI Designer Lite (which is free), you can figure out exactly how to do morphing and all the wonderful things this plugin system will do. Hopefully Yamaha has included editing voices.

If you are in this situation and get stuck, drop a comment here (or send me an email via mididesigner.com/contact) and I'll help you out. I've got the manual right here.
