Hey, that's good news! I'm happy it works now. If only someday Microsoft/Apple/Sun/Java would stick to the official MIDI conventions written down about 30 years ago, and properly test their code before releasing, we could make a stable editor that doesn't need such a work-around on a specific system. But I'm afraid that time will never come. Rutger

Does the problem with the filter control still occur when you restart a fresh editor, disable the stereo mode and unlink all cores? In other words, make sure that you only control one single SID chip? Rutger ps. I'm sorry I haven't provided more support for the editor. I initially made it for my own use and then decided to share it with the community here, but with my current job as PhD candidate I don't have the time to provide much support.

Hmm... is the behavior the same if you leave a bit more time between exiting the editor and editing another? It could be that the midi-driver is still busy and not liking new access to it... Some good new for all MAC users: the new OS release (Snow Leopard) features a Java update that improves MIDI! It means that Java now contains a decent implementation of MIDI classes for Java and we don't have to use the MMJ extension anymore! @ Matrix: maybe this will solve your problem as well! Rutger

Ok, then it's defintely something outside the editor! Does up- and downloading of patches work without problems? And editing single parameters in the editor window? Best, Rutger

Are you changing back by closing the editor window? Normally that's the only way allowed, but I just want to check... This seems to be a really low-level error (i.e. outside the code of the editor). I'm not sure if I can pin-point or fix anything at this level. Best, Rutger

In the editor it couln't be more simple: 1. (Assuming you work with the lead/bassline engine) go to the 'Arpeggiator' tab 2. Click the 'on/off' button for the appropriate arpeggiator. Simple, right? Best, Rutger

Hi, you were right! It was a bug indeed and it affected all controls of Envelope 2. However, the good news is: it's fixed in the next release! Best, Rutger

So who's going to build the first water-cooled (or nitrous?) MidiBox SID?

Ah, found it! Stupid mistake from my side, sorry! Switching back and forth between Java and Matlab I forgot that Java starts array indexing at 0 instead of 1. Whoops ;). Will be fixed with next release (to be expected within a week). Best, Rutger

Hmmm, strange behaviour indeed! I'll check if I can reproduce and fix it! It almost sounds like no cores have been selected. Rutger

Thanks for the report! I'll check, and if it's a bug I'll fix it with the next release. I have spent so much time on implementing new features lately, that I didn't have time for a lot of testing, but I will get to that soon. However, the improvements I made are so substantial that I wanted everyone to be able to benefit from them. I also highly appreciate your input as 'beta' users.

BTW: nice to see that many people are enjoying the editor! Does someone already have a set of patches, that he/she's willing to share? After I fixed the last TODO's for the editor I'll finish up on the promised bank of polyphonic patches and share them with you! Do we already have a place for file exchange? Or do we make that a new topic? Sysex files are small, so uploading with a post woudn't be a problem I think. Best, Rutger

Haha, you're correct! It isn't there. I have already implemented it, but these changes didn't make it into this release. I'm working on some other features at the moment, so there will probably be another release shortly.

Hi! I've been testing the changes today and it really works well! The voice handling runs really smooth. However a minor new problem occured: polling of the slaves sometimes failes when using the editor with WOPT parameters (meaning that the CAN bus is busy for a while and not having spare bandwidth to reply to polls from the master core). Maybe the polling time-out could be increased a bit? Best, Rutger

Oh my god! TK, you're amazing! I'll will get you this bank of polypatches ASAP! Rutger
