MIDI Controller Patch Editor and Librarian created by Kent Dalton

Seems I have/had a copy from 2007, so this should work with the .syp files Satch posted.

Does it work under win 7 and 8?

Hey MJMP, not sure, given when it was written it will be 32 bit I suspect (though maybe even 16bit ??) so you probably have to run it in the Win7 32bit backward compatible bubble (but that should work  :dunno: ). I didn't install it (WinXP), I cancelled the install at the License Agreement after I read it was the Kent Dalton program. No point for me to install as I don't have MP1 (and as you said previously, only works with MP1 2.0 and 2.01 EPROM, also in the License Agreement).
Give it a try and let us know how you go. The syp stands for simple yet powerful scripting language which is what the program is written in (though in the end it will/should end up as a 32bit binary executable). I'm guessing though as I haven't researched it much.

Finally got it figured out.  It would not work with my USB UNO midi interface. I had to go back to 2 full midi cables works great now.  Thanks everyone  :homer:

So do the .syp files work with Brome or are you using the Kent Dalton program ?

[mjonesjr8]

I am using the Kent Dalton program.

[Satch]

Thanks Richard. Just saw the emails looking for the editor.

[MarshallJMP]

I am using the Kent Dalton program.

What OS do you use?I know it works under XP,but i never used it on Win7.

Cool, then it should run fine on Win7 or Vista  :thumb-up:

Ok thanks! :thumb-up:

Again can someone do a video tutorial of this?

[rnolan]

Hey El, Well maybe some one can, but all you need to do is install the program on your PC, ensure you have your MP1 midi in/out connected to your PC (via appropriate midi interface (sound card/usb etc)) and follow the instructions in the MP1 manual re dumping/storing / loading sysex and should be easy.  :thumb-up:

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I need some help.  I recently brought back an MP-1 from the graveyard with a new replacement transformer.  I'm liking the tone that I get from it and I would like to give the MIDI interface a shot.  I have never used MIDI before.

I have downloaded the Kent Dalton program, and my MP-1 has EPROM version 2.01.

I have located a MIDI cable on EBAY but I am not sure if it will work.  The cable has a USB port on one end, with a Y junction to MIDI IN and OUT cables.  There appears to be a switch in the middle. The listing states that it is compatible with Roland keyboards and Yamaha pianos and drums.

I am hoping that I can simply use this cable with my laptop, connecting it to one of the existing USB ports.  Would one of you be able to verify if a simple cable like this will work with the Dalton software or will I require a more complex interface?

Thanks

From my experience,these things don't work well with midi sysex files.
(more info about sysex http://electronicmusic.wikia.com/wiki/System_exclusive)

Kent's program works with sysex so... it might work or... not.

Also I haven't been able to make it work on a win7 computer but it did work on an XP based computer. Used it a lot.Now it does start and stuff but nothing happends for some reason.
Another thing to do is that the memory protect of the mp-1 has to be off and it does has to be set to a specific midi channel,so if the the midi channel is set to "All" or "off" it won't work.
