Outstanding Roland support for DP

Post by Gravity Jim »

Most of you probably know this, but it was completely new to me....

I got tired to death of the sound of my Korg Karma, so I sold it, and intended to replace it with a soundless controller (I like a spring keyboard for playing certain instruments). but when I found the new ROland Juno-Di, I figured, why not? 6 bills, front panel twisty knobs, D-Beam controller, built-in vocoder, really nice feel I even like the shorter keys for the kind of stuff I use it for), USB memory stick port, free Mac editor/lirbrarian software, and those yummy Roland filters and programs. Strangely intuitive for a Roland, too.

But it's brand new, so no .middev or .midnam files in DP.

Turns out Roland has a thing on their support page called Patch Script builder that creates DAW-specific .middex/nam files for Cubase, Sonar, ProTools and... DP! FIve minutes later, I have all the internal patches in the DP pop-up menus. Sweeet!

Now if we could only convince them to build a small USB control surface, we'd be in business.
