LAYOUT: Dave Smith Instruments (DSI) MoPhoby deadbeatsynesthete

Question

Gold

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Sequential (was DSI)
Summary: This layout is designed for the fantastic sounding and surprisingly deep analog monosynth that is the DSI MoPho.

All parameters are controlled using NRPN commands instead of CC values, which allows for more precision and control of more parameters.

___________

Please note, this layout was designed / tested using a MoPho SE, with OSes Main 1.3 and Voice 1.4. Compatibility with the module / key version should be mostly ok, but please let me know of any problems and I'll try to make versions specific to those if the problems are big enough.

This layout is designed for the fantastic sounding and surprisingly deep analog monosynth that is the DSI MoPho. 

All parameters are controlled using NRPN commands instead of CC values, which allows for more precision and control of more parameters.

CAUTION: This led to some bugs on my end where sending all values / resetting to defaults / changing presets caused something in my midi chain to freeze up. Restarting the synth / the program on my mac I was routing midi through / restarting midi designer seemed to fix it, but I couldn't figure out exactly where the problem was.

I also suggest opening the app first and then making all of the midi connections from your ipad, to avoid this issue. 

Also, there seems to be some trouble with a few of the "Global" paramaters. I know that the NRPN values being sent are correct, so I am not really sure why they were not working. If anyone has any insight to it I would appreciate it. 

Hopefully some others out there will find this helpful! Enjoy!

This is looking awesome. Glad to see you're getting use out of the new features (like Multiline labels). If you have time, please check this with the latest Beta (on TestFlightApp.com for you). Get in touch with any concerns, questions, etc.

Great layout... looking awesome!

just tested..works great!

Answer 1

Unreal amount of work you put into this. Well done! Just FYI, I tried it out and there is an error: Pulse1 is marked as a supercontrol with no subcontrols.

Also, I don't know where to put this, but for others trying to make their own MoPho layout, there are parameters with a 0 to 127 range, but the NRPN (0-127) messages won't work. You need to use NRPN (0-16K) messages limited to 0-127 instead.

Thanks for the kind words!

Ah, missed that mistake on the Pulse knobs. I don't think it affects anything adversely so I will leave it for now but will definitely fix that if I update the layout. Should be ok for now.

And yes this layout works based on NRPN. Hopefully it is working well for you!
