Niktu Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hi everyone. I've searched and searched but have a feeling I'm not searching the right way. Apologies if I'm asking in the wrong place. Is there a correct way to search and find older vintage synth editors for the Logic environment? I'm looking for editors for... Roland MKS80 Roland JX8p Oberheim Matrix 1000 Yamaha FS1r Kawai K5000r Lexicon PCM81 Also a few newer midi boxes (I presume unlikely to find)... Disting EX synths Division Dept 01/IV RME UCX II 1010 Bluebox Moog Subharmonicon I understand that I might have to get my hands dirty with some adjustments or editing but I was hoping to get going with as many templates as I could find to build on. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 You may find some of them in that file (I know it has the Kawai K5000s): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Probably best to google for "logic environment for XXX", as a lot of this stuff would have been done a long time ago when environment hackery was rather more popular. For instance, here's a link for the first one I tried:https://ranum.dk/roland-mks-80-editor-for-logic-pro-x/ Also, the more complicated boxes - say the FS1R, are unlikely to have decent environment editors because the complexity of doing that would be enormous, and Logic doesn't have good tools for parsing sysex or memory (unlike Sound Diver, it's brother product, which was entirely designed for this) - making environments somewhat limited in what they can do - it's very device dependent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niktu Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thankyou so much for the tips and advice. Yeah, I might be pushing it to find what I want. The first link from David has a PCM80 and K5000s in there. Thankyou. Re the other link from Des99, sincere thanks for this. But to get the file, I have to join a mailing list with no apparent links, he he. Seems fishing out these old scripts might prove difficult. Will give it time to see if others have anything, but I'm grateful for the responses so far, thankyou. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Yeah, like I say, a lot of this will be old and sometimes inaccessible. The Wayback Machine can often help dig out old downloads too. And it's not going to get better now the Environment has officially reached "legacy" status and is now hidden by default in Logic. There may be other, non-Logic ways of doing this too - eg, Midiquest, or various iOS editors, old versions of Sound Diver if you can run it, and so on, that may or may not be useful for what you want to do. And you can always get your hands dirty and make your own, too... Good luck! 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
