I have a stable version of the editor now in the Lemur library, available for download.
Even if you don't own a TX-802, I'd appreciate feedback on the UI, documentation, and general approach to using the Lemur objects in the way I did.

I had a vision for a particular way I wanted the UI to work and the Lemur environment allowed me to (eventually) sculpt things to do it the way I wanted instead of simply throwing up a screen or two full of sliders and buttons. I hope this makes editing Yamaha's FM synthesis more enjoyable and understandable for folks.

Thanks oldgearguy for this, so first and quick feedback, setup is easy, READme-first is quite understable, I guess the READme-later is planned for...later :D (or does it exist somewhere?), concerning the UI I found very nice the fact of having directly the algorythm vizualisation, that helps a lot the understanding, what I'd love to have is a visual of every adsr (or maybe including the card schem) cos i found parameters are a bit unusal on the tx, but it's probably also because i'm not used to it and starting to use it with your editor.
So very nice to have this, only main cons for now is that it can't control my korg WSAD :mrgreen:

The Liine download site only allows 1 document to be attached. The Advanced document is on my web site: http://www.oldgearguy.com/TX802/default.html

I didn't want to create "fake" ADSR envelopes even though that's what most people know. If you're working with FM and the Yamaha DX gear, you really should learn how to control those envelopes. My display shows the level and rate for each stage and that's kind of how you should think of it.

Hi everybody, I'm new here !
I just got the TX-802 editor and I have a few midi routing questions.

My ipad goes through my macbookpro and so my keyboard. I virtually merge both midi signals with midi pipe and through out my midi out sound cart to my tx 802 so basically this is the midi routing from my keyboard and ipad :

keyboard and ipad -->computer--->soundcard-->tx802

I manage to get sound with both ipad and keyboard and change the tx802 settings from my ipad BUT when I change of performance on my tx802 I don't have the change of voices from my ipad. By the way when I tap on "Get current data" it says there's no midi connection to the midi tx-802 (even if I can modify the tx802 settings from my ipad)

So I tried to send the midiout signal from the tx802 to my ipad but I have no feedback at all from the tx802.
No settings are specified in the readme about the midisignal in this way, is the tx-802 editor can do this ?
How can the editor knows if there's no connection to the tx-802 if it's not supposed to have feedback ?


Thanks,
