This
software is a virtual synthesizer programmer for use with the
Sequential Circuits PROPHET VS synthesizer. It accesses all the
Prophet VS front panel controls in a software environment within the
APPLE LOGIC audio/sequencer program (formerly Emagic Logic). To use
this software you MUST have a valid copy of LOGIC on your computer (see
below) as well as a MIDI interface which connects your computer via MIDI
cable to your hardware synthesizer.
This software CANNOT be used as a stand alone application under any
circumstances. It will NOT run in Ableton, Reason, AU, VST or any other
host - it is not a plug-in but a single importable layer of the Logic
environment.
Upon
purchase, you will ultimately receive a ZIP archive of the editor you
purchased for Logic. UNZIP this archive and you will have a LOGIC
song document you can now open in the Logic program (Mac v8-9 and vX
are supplied - please request special version if needed). Once
open, you will see the editor on your screen and you can then discover
the pleasures of a Virtual PROPHET VS programmer for your Sequential Circuits synthesizer!
LOGIC X COMPATIBLE!
OVERVIEW:
This
editor is laid out to give the user access to all the VS front panel
parameters in a smooth and user friendly flow typical of an analog synth
layout. If you're familiar with programming the VS from the front
panel you will appreciate the ease of use this editor offers with such
amenities as visual X-Y VECTOR selections for the MIX ENVELOPE, full
modulation Matrix laid out on Page 2, FULL RESETS for initializing
patches, text windows that supply additional information such as
waveform names, and all the parameters of the synth on two concise
screens.
Every parameter that the VS can respond to - is present
here on these two pages and provides for a deep level of remote
program-ability. Page 1 will lay out all the main parameters of the
synth and arpeggiator and Page 2 acts as an adjunct to that adding the
MODULATION MATRIX (please see the included photos to understand the
layout).
It also supplies a real time LIVE Vector control for the
X / Y axes that emulates the front panel joystick, and these moves can
be recorded in real time to the sequencer.
There are a few very
minor bugs with the initial VS OS 1.0 but nothing fatal. Your synth
can be upgraded to the latest PROPHET VS v1.2 OS via a seller here on
Ebay.
All real time moves are recordable by the Logic
sequencer for repeatable real time changes on playback. Or as an
option you can automate these parameters with LOGIC'S hyperdraw
function. You may also remotely control these SYSEX and CC faders and
buttons via a hardware control surface if you take the time to tailor
the controls to suit your individual hardware. It requires a basic
knowledge of the LOGIC environment, but is not difficult to do and needs
only be done once and then saved for future sessions.
This
programmer resides in one layer of the LOGIC environment hierarchy - and
is importable to your personal AUTOLOAD song (notes on how to do so are
also included). It is not a plug-in, but a page in the environment
which can be imported into your song documents or run alongside your
current work simultaneously as a second song.
Detailed documents are included with your purchase and cover all aspects of usage - both remedial and advanced.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
This editor is brand new but is still compatible with many different
versions of Logic starting with Emagic MAC Version 4.x. It is
compatible with ALL versions of Logic through vX. It is also
compatible with Logic Express v7 - 9. If you have a version 8 Logic
you must use v 8.01 or higher which fixes a SYSEX bug that renders v8.0
inoperable.
This editor is also compatible with the v4 - v5 PC
versions of Logic (please specify upon purchase). In all v5's - it
is compatible down to Logic SILVER. NOT compatible with Micro-Logic
or any of the other earlier neutered Emagic bundled versions.
This
editor is designed to fit on one or two screens with a screen resolution of
1024 X 768 or larger but will also work on smaller screens. You can
set up a screen-set for larger monitors that will accommodate both Page 1
and Page 2 simultaneously if you choose.
