Patch Editor -- Who wants one? (Page 1 of 2)

Good idea.  Were you thinking like in teh range of 19.95 USD??  Unless, you build a really full featured application I think this would kind of be my max for consideration - but I'm pretty cheap.  Good luck.

Do not get me wrong, but we are in the "app" age. I think your application should be below 2 usd, since it is just a utulity... I would definitely say yes, but 19,95 is a LOT for a patch editor.

I have worked with the Line 6 Pod for years and it was only with the computer app editing that I was able to really get that thing programmed. 

I now have been working with the VLT for a couple months and without an app for editing it will be slow going until I can really create some custome sounds.  Point is, I know how cool this app would be.  You got my $15. It would be well worth the value.

Just one person's opinions of course, but I don't find the VLT to have THAT many parameters that I feel I'd pay $15 for an editor. $0.99 for an editor app on my iPad? Definitely.

I have a Pod X3Live, Blofeld, Korg M3, and all have free editors (unofficial in the case of Blofeld) that I never even use. About the only time I break them out is for patch management, which is already covered for the VLT.

I will pay for it! Absolutely.
I need this app very, very much...

Please - write it quickly!!!

Hi winger,

Vyzor has created editors for us in the past and was "apparently" working on a VL2 and Touch editor, but I haven't heard anything about it in quite a while.

As far as I know, if you create and sell an editor, there's no royalties etc. to be paid. I think there might be some limits on using our logos or somehow indicating that its a TC-Helicon affiliated product etc., but I can get you that info if you do go forward with your own build.

Cheers,
Craig

Winger,

Actually, the instant changes are the easy part.  The hard part is getting the info from the VoiceLive Touch to make sure the program is in-sync with the device.  That is, when I change to a certain patch or favorite from the computer, what are all the settings in the VoiceLive Touch? 

I've asked TC Helicon for the Sysex implementation, but I don't know if/when they'll give it to me.  I was hoping I could figure this all out over Christmas vacation, but without the Sysex, it's going to be quite a task. :-)

Fox,

At this point I'm thinking about 10 dollars.  It is also turning out to be much more difficult than I expected.  The Sysex for the VLT is not a 1:1 setting mapping.  There seem to be a lot of extra settings in the file that are not available on the unit.  I'm trying to figure it all out so I know what coincides with each setting on the unit itself. 

Anyway, I figure it might take about a month once I figure all of that out. 
Christmas vacation is almost over.  :-(

Thanks Brad!

Fox,

Yes, it would be able to name presets.  That should be simple enough.  Assuming I can figure out enough to make the tool in the first place.

I'm still trying to figure out all the harmony stuff.  It is *very* elaborate and might require a lot of work.  There are a gazillion settings, and they are all based on "voice 1," "voice 2", etc. (up to 4), but not named for what they really are (Bass, Low, Higher, etc.).  That's going to make this harder to deal with....

-Brad

Hiya Craig,

Is a sysex manual available for the VLT.

If so, any chance of a copy.

Hey Brad just got the VLT and already need an editor , this is great but it really needs to be able to create your own patches plus the need to add feedback to the delay and hopefully an EQ

i guess im asking for too much but at least the editor is ESSENTIAL!

is a great machine but its features are pretty much locked makes me feel like having an iphone on att

hope u make the editor , or the tc helicon guys release theirs

please let me know any advance on this

Cheers to eveybody

Hi all,

Just to be clear, there isn't an editor "in the works" or planned from TCH now or in the foreseeable future. I don't want folks to be holding on for something that isn't coming, at least from the company itself. I have very high hopes for Brad's though

-Craig

an editor sounds like a good plan. don't price it too low either. there just aren't that many of use with a vlt... it's not an iPhone everyone has...

an external editor is needed because what we have now is nothing more than dragging and dropping preset names into a column. I hate trying to edit through the unit itself... I can't remember 12 buttom combo push this while sliding that to get where I want. seeing stuff on a screen would be worth 20 bucks alone to me.

I mean we pay $500 for something, then worry about something costing 20 bucks should be priced 10? 10 bucks? let's not be cheap
