Dexed (DX7 simulation) Port for the MOD

Most of that information is already written here:
http://wiki.moddevices.com/wiki/Developers

I added links to the Max gen~ page and other resources now.
Cross-building and deploying plugins is explained there.

This page is nicely populated! What do you think about a paragraph about the process to get a plugin into the stable repository and the requirements (locking, global parameters… ? Probably developers will want to publish their plugins and have them run on other musicians’ Duos.

We’re putting a procedure in place for that.
We’ll publish it soon :wink:

@Codeman - I’d like an fm synth on mod. Could you put the code on github and I can maybe contribute some?

Isn’t it this one?

looks like it. Thanks I didn’t know codeman’s GH handle and search didn’t turn up much.

(Why you guys use all kinds of different handles is beyond me :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile: )

Hmmm… “Codeman” in every flavour was not available at creation time of my account. And D-CORE or D-DUMP was my callsign at Flightgear :wink:

You should checkout the “native-lv2” branch…

Thanks && regards, Holger

occam’s razor wins again. :slight_smile:
looking now. cheers!

Is could be possible to use one of the sysex patch editors to control params in real-time. Could be interesting to use an envelope follower on a guitar to control DX7 params…

Is there a plugin which can do “tone->MIDI-note/MIDI-CC”? AFAIK this can be done with Aubio. Or using external Hardware for this…

Hi,

it took some time but now I have fixed some problems with Dexed and hope someone at MODDEVICES can add the new commit to the community build: 6801e49fcabe2cd6925be2e0045ad5e83320548b

List of fixes:

  • (hopefully) fixed memory leaks when creating/destroying instances of Dexed.
  • controllers are now working (modwheel, breath, foot, aftertouch).
  • rebased to the original Dexed, so fixes and extensions are included in the LV2 version

Regards, Holger

@Codeman,

Thank you for taking the time to work on the Dexed plugin, it is much appreciated!

Could you take a look at the Plugin: updates category (https://forum.moddevices.com/c/plugins/plugin-updates) and make an update request there? Please check the steps in the pinned post in this category. In your case, it involves making a pull request on https://github.com/moddevices/mod-plugin-builder/tree/master/plugins/package/dexed.

Thanks again!

//Jesse

Just a quick question re getting more/different presets loaded than the default…
The Factory sounds are the ROM1A-Bank. You can install own SysEx data:

  1. Get and install dxsyx on your PC: git clone https://github.com/rogerallen/dxsyx.git
  2. Get SysEx-converter->lv2 script: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcoredump/dexed/native-lv2/bin/dx7sysex2lv2
  3. Change $LV2_INSTALL_PATH (line 34) and $DXSYX (line 30) to your paths.
  4. Convert your SysEx file(s) with: ./dx7sysex2lv2 SYSEX1 [SYSEX2 …]
  5. Copy converted files to the MOD-Duo: scp -r <directory_where_my_converted_sysex_files_are>/* root@192.168.51.1:/root/.lv2

Sorry if this is an obvious question … so I need to install LV2 on my pc before I run through this I guess…? I am on the latest windows
Thanks again!

If you copy the bundles over ssh it will bypass the host, so it doesn’t know that these new files exist.
You will need to restart the 2 services that make use of lv2 presets:

systemctl restart jack2 mod-ui

Great thanks - so run that command on the Mod Duo X? Thanks!

What is the best way to connect to the Mod Duo X from windows for this kind of thing - Windows PowerShell ? Sorry for the obvious questions!

so I tried to log onto the mod duo x from my windows pc using the command
ssh 192.168.51.1
using windows powershell - it is asking me for a password … is there a password set on the device…my pc password doesn’t work …says permission denied.
Thanks
