CS1x-Edit Editor

Version 1.21 features the new Bank Compiler and MIDI-Player/Recorder.

The CS1x-Edit software for Windows 3.1/95 offers an interface for all CS1x features, but its Windows interface makes editing easier as it is not limited to the two-line display of the CS1x. The ability to save to disk (sys-ex and MIDI-files) avoids some of the problems often found when using sequencers or sys-ex programs, which tend to work incorrect or crash.

Main Feature Include:

• Manage the Preset and User Bank of performances.
• Play your MIDI files while editing a performance, thus hearing your new sounds in real life.
• Set the system-parameters of the CS1x. Set up the controller assignments, the MIDI channels, etc.
• 'Mouse Keyboard': With your mouse you can play notes to listen to your current performance. This is especially useful if your synth is not on your desk. Also the 'hold' functon lets you easily browse through the material voices while creating a new performance.
• Automatic recognition of the device number.
• Optional support for multiple CS1x's.
• Realtime controls (like the knobs, scene switches, etc.) are fully accessible within the 'Control Panel' and reposition themselves automatically if evoked from the synth.
• All changes (scroller movements, etc) and even notes (on the Mouse Keyboard) are displayed while playing.
• MIDI clock when playing MIDI files. This enables you to sync the Arpeggiator to your music.
• MIDI thru: There is no need to switch local on/off when using Sequencers and CS1x-Edit. The MIDI-thru passes the Mouse Keyboard, so it will apply any chosen chords during playing.

The main window (above). Basically, it controls the full bank and things that don't belong to a performance. The Menu lets you save and open complete banks, send and receive bulk dumps from the CS1x, display the other windows and change the settings. Everything you do is automaticaly sent to the CS1x in realtime.

The window where you create and edit your sounds is the Performance-Editor window (above). You can do the same editing that you can with the matrix on your CS1x, but you can see everything all at the same time. Editing is done by sliding controlls up and down, or by selecting a value in a listbox, which makes it a LOT easier. Also, the changes you make are transmitted directly to the CS1x, so you can instantly try your new settings out.
