made a new kickstarter update regarding shipping and those who want to pay extra for priority shipping! - sorry about the delay ps. duties/tariffs might be quite low depending on where you live and are to be paid by the recipient on delivery. The shipping itself is a different fee. basically if you live in canada - no duties. If you live in the states, the carrier will charge you the duties when they deliver the item. If you live overseas, expect the carrier to reach out to you to have you pay the duties when the item reaches your country

@@midigoblin Hope your feeling better now, no need to be sorry, appreciate the update.

The s-1 doesnt have a dump all parameters command unfortunately so I just ended up going through every single parameter and tweeking them a bit. after the goblin got a reading on each parameter, I saved the patch. I called it template. Any time i start up the midi goblin and s-1 i just load the template patch and everything syncs up instantly. from there, any changes i make will be received by he goblin and any patch i save will be accurate. side note: i did this before i created the midi goblins midi controller app so tweeking every parameter on the s-1 was a huge pain in the butt to create the template patch. Now-a-days i would just use the midi goblin's built in controller app. its quite helpful since it lists every parameter that you define for the synth - so its makes getting at all those hidden parameters really easy.

yep, it can send program change messages here's a long winded video on the matter: ruclips.net/video/b2mmXqm7EgM/видео.html its fairly easy to do. Im tinkering with a way to create these program change files locally without having to create them on a computer, but its really, really easy to create the program change files (its literally one word and one or two numbers saved in a txt file and plopped in your synths patches folder) Goblin cannot display received program numbers ...yet...that sounds like it could be a fun thing to add to the monitor or something! As for displaying the current program - nah, cant to that either, though i think it would be possible to put the previously loaded patch/program change file name in the header of the patches program (top of the patches menu)

the reface cs is probably my favorite synth! The cs takes full advantage of all the goblins features. the arpeggiator and ability to save and load patches (your slider and switch values) takes the cs from a good synth to an amazing synth. I am working on documentation and completely re-doing tutorial videos. its a long, labor intensive process but will be worth the effort. I fully intend to have this content ready before shipping the goblins (last thing i want is for someone to receive the goblin, not know how to use it and for it to collect dust)

What?! I missed this somewhere along the line.. man I am looking forward to this little box!

No worries. Its a subject many people are unfamiliar with. Long answer short - model D in specific: no....but many other synths: heck yeah. Many synthesizers can transmit or midi cc(control change) or nrpn midi messages when users change their parameter values. These messages tell external devices or apps what the value of each parameter is. Example: Move a LFO depth slider on a Yamaha reface CS and it will transmit a message containing a couple bits of info: The type of message (control change) the control change number (77) and its value (0-127). A collection of these values is typically called a patch. Midi goblin allows users to create a list of parameter names and numbers. From then on, when it receives a value for a parameter youve defined, it keeps track of it and lets you save it. You can then transmit these values back to your synth to control the parameters. Not ALL synths have this ability though. Some are fully analog(i beleive the model D is) or they just dont transmit midi cc or nrpn messages (the model d does not), so the positions of their knobs, switches and sliders directly controls the sound of the synth. But many are digially controlled analog now-a-days, so their parameter values can be controlled externally. Patch morphing simply looks at the current values of your synths parameters, looks at the values saved within a patch file, and as you turn the knob, it fires off all the in between values depending on what position your encoder is turned. Basically, turn a knob, itll change all the parameter values automatically. Hope that helps. Id suggest checking videos on midi cc, nrpn and sysex messages. Midi goblin can save midi cc and nrpn (but not sysex...that is quite difficult)

@@midigoblin Ah thanks! 😊 I owned a Electra One and it perhaps worked in a similar way.

@@P-S-T just checked the electra one out, looks like a rad midi controller! MIDI Goblin does indeed have a similar midi controller app built into it. Its not nearly as fancy as the electra but its quite useful for getting at parameters. Doesnt do sysex though..maybe some day!

🥲thanks!

Hey that gives me an idea. I could theoretically be running notes from the arp or sequencer app into the chord generator app or arp-note app...Hmm

@@JS-vz4je watch the video on the nts-1 - you just need to plug a midi controller with lots of knobs or sliders into the midi goblin. Then the midi goblin into the akai and turn on goblins midi cc thru. You can use the controller to change the parameter values of the akai, and midi goblin can save the parameter values.... alternatively you can use the goblins built in midi controller orrr both at the same time. It's pretty dope.

@@midigoblin Thanks I checked it out. I need to program cc values for a couple synths that all have different cc values for their functions. Are the cc values customizable from the midi controller to the synth? Can they be saved into folders to recall them later with the midi goblin? For instance, If I want knob 1 on my midi controller to send cc value for the filter of the synth. Then knobs 2-5 to control ASDR of the synth? These might be different cc values on 2 different synths. Thanks!

when you add your synth to midi goblin, you list the synths parameter numbers and names. From then on when the midi goblin receives values that match your parameter numbers, it keeps track of them and allows you to save the values as patch files. the files are saved in folders specific to each synth you add. You can add dozens of synths to midi goblin and saves patches for any of them regardless of what their unique cc parameter numbers are - but you can only save patches for one synth at a time. So you cant hook multiple synths up to midi goblins input to save mega-multi-synth patches unfortunately. I havnt even advertised this yet but if you have hooked up midi goblin's output to multiple synths, and youve dragged patch files from multiple synths into your current synths folder - you can send patches to each individual synth, but right now you just need to change the midi channel to match the synth you want to send the patch to. Its fuckin sweet. As for using midi controllers: does the midi controller have the ability to change the midi cc values it transmits for each knob/slider? Many new controllers have this built in and it makes things easier. if the midi controller does not have this ability - good news! you can use the remap function to work around this. All you need to do is re-map the incoming cc of the controller to the parameters of your synth. from then you can use your controller to control the synth and save patches for them (you just need to make sure the re-map app is turned on when you save the patch and that youve initiated all the values by either moving all your sliders or loading a template patch file)

ps. you can also remap your synth's parameters to different cc values so you can create patches for one synth using another one. If you check out my video on remap, theres an example of using a yamaha reface cs to create patches for the volca keys (though i personally find just using the midi controller app easier now)

nah - although I did consider , the odds of randomly setting one parameter that effectively cancels out others is too high. (like randomly setting the depth and speed of and lfo to 50 and 64 but then the lfo to off or something) Sounds like a fun idea on paper, but in practice its more trouble than its worth...since midi goblin works with user defined synths, and there are a lot of different synths with different parameters, users would need to create rules for every single parameter for the randomizer to follow in order to prevent accidentally creating un-useable patches

on that note, if you morph from one patch with completely different settings than your current values/patch you just loaded you can get some pretty crazy, random ass results.

@@midigoblin good call, this is also the experience I have with randomising my Opsix. Most of the time, you just end up with clicks or atonal buzzes unless you go in and prune all the options being randomised down to just a handful.

going to test this out soon but based on the midi implementation chart - very very likely

@@midigoblin cool, ive been semi obsessed with your thing since yr redit post and ive been itching to get the nymphes. guess it does save patches tho?

@@ryanstevens3822apparently the nymphes has 49 user presets and 49 factory presets. Switching between them looks kind of like a pain in the butt though. thankfully it seems like it can respond to program change messages so midi goblin should be able to load them by simply dropping a .txt file into the synths patch folder on the goblin's sd card. Name the txt file the name of the patch and write "program[space][patchnumber]" in the text file....from then on, when you load that file from the patch menu on the goblin, the nymphes should load the patch. Basically its like adding a screen to the nymphes :) on top of that, being able to save patches externally on the midi goblin sd card should greatly increase the number of patches you can save (no official maximum patch count yet but hundreds of patches seems like its going to be the case...per synth)

Yes we tested it with my nymphes

Hmm I still wanna stress test this one a bit. We didnt have a chance to morph all of the nymphes parameter values - only a handful...which works! But the nymphes has a lot of parameters, yes midi goblin can morph them all no problem and transmit all the required messages but can the nymphes process all those messages quickly enough? We'll have to wait and see. The nymphes also doesnt have a midi output connection so creating patches that are saveable and morphable for the nymphes is a bit of a curveball but worth the effort... A follow up video about the nymphes is definitely needed... @DECIMA1 and i will have to do a synth exchange at some point.

The cs is my favorite synth! I think midi goblins are gunna be must-haves for reface owners once the word gets out

you can! you just load a patch, then select the next patch to morph to and you're good to go!
