Trying to build a bi-directional synth editor-need some help
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2013 5:37 pm
Max N00b here, starting to get a little more involved in building devices. About a year ago I build a fantastically messy and crude editor for my DSI Tetra. It's simple but it gets the job done. Now I'd like to improve upon it a bit, specifically I'd like to add bi-directionality to it (not 100% sure I'm using that term correctly) so that when you load a new patch on the Tetra, the editor controls will change to reflect the actual values.
I'm not sure if this is possible for the Tetra since I think it uses Sysex to dump the patch data but I'm not sure.
Here's a link to my device on maxforlive.com- have a look at the guts if you'd like....

This was literally the very first device I ever made and the patching is embarrassingly messy, sorry! It's just complicated enough of a device though That I haven't had the stomach to get in and clean it up.....
Likewise I'd like to be able to rearrange the parameters so they are more Push friendly- at the moment they just show up in no particular order on my Push- I'd like to be able to group them in more logical banks. I can't seem to figure out how to do this with Max for Live devices though
Thanks in advance for any assistance
