Snoozr Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi everyone, I am working on my SID and am having a bit of trouble with JSynthlib. I am using the snapshot version posted here in light of the discussion here about SID compatibility.http://www.ucapps.de/jsynthlib.htmlI set up the MIDI preferences as indicated and include the SID driver. I then start a New Library and select Import. I browse to the C:\Program Files\MIOSStudio\midibox_sid_v2_0_rc20\presets folder and attempt to import that patch .syx file. However, nothing happens. If I try Import All (after removing the readme), it says "Can't import <filename+path>. Load a proper synth driver." Hmm - it already has this ... ???I have tried selecting various combinations of the Import All dialog boxes (e.g., put patch name in Field 1, Field 2) to no avail. Tried it on a Win XP machine and a Vista machine - no dice. Checked version of Java to ensure compatability. Tried using some of the various other builds of Jsynthlib. Tried TK's suggestion about MIDI Yoke - nope. What does (kind of) work is that I can load the .syx file into Midi OX. I can then dump it to the SID (no bankstick by the way) using a very long delay between patches (like 4000 msec). I then can audition the patch (for four seconds!) and then it will move on. I can also yank out the midi cable when I get a patch I want. But of course this is not quite the best approach. It really seems like it's a JSynthlib issue. Is it something like the situation with Unix linefeeds where some programs can handle them (Midi OX) and others can't (JSynthlib)? That's the only parallel I was able to come up with. It seems like JSynthLib just does not know what to do with my copy of v2_vintage_bank.syx. Maybe someone has a patchlib version that I could use?Thanks gang.

stryd_one Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I don't think jsynthlib works for a v2 sid does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozr Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks Stryd - I did some more searching but I was unable to locate a definitive answer one way or the other (I must have missed it). But if so, perhaps TK or someone with privileges can put a note in bold up at the top of this page ;Dhttp://www.ucapps.de/jsynthlib.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLP Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 that's sad.with the new GM5-USB-MIDI-Interface someone should program some editor and patch librarian software.Something like the software for the Roland SH-201 which works pretty well.

stryd_one Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 There's a new editor in the works already...As for jsynthlib, it doesn't say it works with a v2 sid anywhere, I think that's enough... If we list all the things it doesn't work with, tht could be a long list ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
