Hello everyone, Every one knows Yoshimi, the fork of ZynAddSubFx. One thing was lacking to yoshimi to be perfect: to be nearly fully controlled by midi controls ( no OSC, sorry ). ZynAddSubFx had possibilities to control a few parameters with complicated NRPN, Yoshimi recently had ( in the test versions ) some features too. But now I'm proud to announce you the work of licnep ( not me, I'm just a bug reporter ) who made the "midiLearn" function for yoshimi. It's not stable for now because it's recent, and not full, but here are the present features: * Control System effects, Part Insert Effects * Master/Part Volume, Pan, System Effect Sends * Most of ADsynth parameters * Add/Remove controller * detect the channel and the number * reset the knob ( its position ) I think it's a feature that's very useful and could help many yoshimi/zyn users. To use it, that's simple: connect your controller to yoshimi, right-click on a blue knob ( yellow are ones which are not supported for now ) and click "midi Learn" move your controller, it detects automatically the controller. To see and modify controllers, go to the Yoshimi> MIDI controllers menu. To erase midi control of a knob, simply right click on it and click on "remove midi control" Here is the gitHub repository: https://github.com/licnep/yoshimi To download and install it, follow the explications link ( gitHub ): https://github.com/licnep/yoshimi/wiki/How-to A light page to understand how to control others not implemented controllers: https://github.com/licnep/yoshimi/wiki/Source-code Pages to follow the news of the project: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yoshimi-midi-learn/224823617534934 Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/YoshimiMIDI So if you're interrested, all bug requests are deeply recommended.

Hi Renato, it's me, licnep, i just recently joined this mailing list after the post about the midi learn branch of yoshimi. Thanks for the feedback.

My midi learn branch is built on top of the new 0.62 branch (that will be the next official yoshimi release) so some of the changes you see are not made by me. For example about the UI i only changed the way knobs look and, of course, added the midi controllers window. In particular i agree that I don't like the fact that you have to right click to edit an instrument, i find it counter intuitive, even after a lot of time of using it i still get it wrong, so i hope it will be reverted back to normal before the next release. As for the annoying scale bug, i think it was corrected in the previous 0.60 branch, maybe the correction has just not yet been added to the 0.62, but it will, i think.

I haven't yet personally asked for a merge, the code is not really ready yet, and the main devs don't have much time to review it now. Anyway i hope the midi learn feature will join in the main branch sooner or later, it was not my original intent to create yet another fork.

If you encounter any bug or have a request, a suggestion or a question, I'm always listening, although these days i don't have much time,

As cal is no longer with us, it seems wise to persevere his work. If you check yoshimi-user, there has been an initial conversation on a reunion of the projects.
