Thanks to a truly heroic effort from @HaPe , we now have graphical representations for all 88 of the FM-X algorithms, which makes for a fantastic addition to the Montage, MODX and Montage M editors.



I really can't express just how much I appreciate this invaluable contribution of time and effort

 

We're not standing still here!




Coming soon.

 

There is a now a rather colossal fourth column to the KDx editor for Montage, Montage M and MODX - performance controls!

You can now select the VAR, REV and MFX effect type and preset, and set the appropriate pan and return levels.



You also have access to edit the volume, pan, mute and keyboard control settings for every part without having to switch parts.



The Master EQ is present with all controls available, as is the performance-level filter, filter envelope...

 

While using the relay on my iPad, i realised that the touch targets for points on the envelope graph are very difficult to grab, as they are very small.

I have now changed the way the envelopes work, and given them much bigger draggable areas, so they are much easier to grab with your fingers on a touch screen.



This image shows the new touch targets - when you use it, you won't see the red circles, they are just here for illustration purposes.

 

If your Montage or MODX has MIDI ports whose names do not end with Port1, Port2, Port3 etc., can you please let me know by posting in this thread:

Many thanks

I have now fixed the [rather stupid] error that was preventing MODX and MODX+ from working correctly with KDx.

My apologies to subscribers that their synths haven't been working until now!

Many thanks to @HaPe for his time on remote desktop while I fumbled around with the code!

 

I've had various comments saying that people were surprised that the compatibility test does not offer bi-directional communication with the synth, so I have made some changes to allow it to send and receive parameter requests.

It's important to understand that Yamaha synths do not broadcast parameter changes when they are made on the synth - if you change a parameter directly on your synth, it won't send a message to connected systems informing them of the change.

Instead...

 

Welcome to the home of KDx, an online tool providing an intuitive and approachable way to sculpt sounds with your synthesizer.

If you know the basics of sound design but struggle or get frustrated with menu diving and multi-button combinations to access parameters, KDx has you covered.
KDx is a general-purpose one-control-per-function sound editing framework.
