  1. I dont know what a monophonic sequencer like the 303's would give you since both those synths are polyphonic and the DX is a 4 op FM synth (no analog goodness there).  the JX should better but it has very limited midi control so a variable portamento controlled via midi may not be possible.  It would need to be controlled like TK mentioned

  2. The way this is implemented on the x0xb0x, MAM MB33, and IIRC the 3031 is that the synth looks for note off events. If it sees one it shuts the gate, if not then it slides from one note to another without shutting the gate so in an external sequencer, you just need to have the note that its slides from "go" beyond the start of the note it slides into.  The x0x will actually send out midi slides like this also

    Emulating TB303 sequences completely via MIDI is mostly not possible, because synths normaly don't provide a way to change the pitch to a new note and to activate the slide without triggering the gate.

    See also http://www.ucapps.de/howto_sid_bassline.html, example for the Code "26"

    Such a function can be partly simulated by dynamically switching between mono and legato mode via CC, but the implementation depends heavily on the capabilities of the target synth.

  3. I think the point that Otterfan was making was that the PG200 does not use midi to communicate (just the port) and there is no sysex implementation on the Jx3p, its some proprietary roland thing that just happens to use the midi port

  4. Unfortunately the PG-200 doesn't use MIDI to communicate but rather a proprietary Roland digital protocol

    I guess that is that without the midi kit.  I'm sure the software on that page is worth looking at though and could be used to make a MBHP controller for it

  5. I do that with midiquest all the time to program my Novation Remote, simply sniff the output port when moving the onscreen controls, look at the min and max values and your done.  I'm sure the older stuff does not have that complicated of a sysex implementation

  6. 9090 is stuffed and i'm just waiting for pots from the UK to arrive (no one stateside sources that i could find).  I bought some 2u cases from a place called enclosures and cases in MN. They are all aluminum with extruded sides and are pretty nice (and cheap, 65$ each). I'm in the process of finding some 909ish knobs so i am holding off sending the panels for machining but I should be firing up for the first time in the next couple of weeks
