Question

Gold

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Peavey

Had one of these laying round for years. It has virtually no front control, and relies on sysex for most synth based control. This Panel fully implements it all and it seems to work fine. These are basically a rompler with 52 waveforms, they have a pretty decent VCF, I found this panel really brought it back to life. It takes some time to get the filters/env/Sens in the sweet spots but once you do they sound really cool.

"say I wrote a script to decode a dump, I can then technically "transform" these values and send them to controls?"  - That is the idea, so far I don't know of anyone that has done it, I'm working on it now.  It is still early/unfinished but it looks like it should work the way you described.

Update - I have successfully transformed the sysex dump for a guitar pedal using stream byter.  Might be a little more complicated with this many controls but the rules are pretty straightforward, I will post a short how to tonight illustrating how it is done. - Mitch

Mitch here in Australia, we would refer to you as a "legend". This is so cool. Hanging to see some code, Id love to try this out with my panels. Cheers Brett

haha thanks Brett, I posted up a description of how to parse sysex dumps on the Q&A.  Hope it is helpful.
