"Our goal is to provide the best editors available for classic hardware synthesizers, with the most useful features and best user experience possible so our customers can achieve their best results with minimum effort."

 

A Complete MIDI Controller with DAW Automation

A real-time MIDI Synthesizer Editor that allows you full control of every Parameter of the Program (aka a patch) data on the Synthesizer. Parameters are fully automatable in your favorite VST™ or Audio Unit™ capable DAW host, giving you the ability to quickly Program the hardware Synthesizer visually, along with your music in the DAW, with automatic recall of the settings when you reload the DAW project. You can also use the Standalone application if you just want to make Program edits or don't need to work inside a DAW.

Parameter, Program and Bank Sysex Support

Unlike other editors that offer only limited 'controller' functionality, reKon audio editors provide for full loading, saving, importing and exporting of the .syx file Program and Bank format data that your Synthesizer natively uses to store and manage it's data. This provides for full support of the Synthesizer and all of it's supported MIDI messages. Though this requires a lot more work, we feel it's the best way to fully support the Synthesizer, and our customers. A valuable fact to consider when you compare our products against other Editor's.

  • Full import, export, load and save of .syx Program and Bank files.

New Library Database

Version 3 introduces another incredibly useful feature that you won't find in most Editors. It's an advanced Library database that allows you to view, edit, store, search, and sort all the Program data to and from your Synthesizer, in smart and efficient ways. Easily store all your Programs in a central, searchable location, and browse them with handy tools to get management tasks done quickly. It is now incredibly easy to store and restore your Programs and Banks to and from your Synthesizer without the usual .syx headaches from the past. You can easily load your existing .syx library files straight into the Editor Bank and/or Library without needing to send them to the Synthesizer first.

Full MIDI I/O Data Monitoring

The Midi Monitor view allows you to view all MIDI data transmitted and received between the Synthesizer, Editor, and DAW host with colors attributed to various message types for easy identification. Easily switch between Input and Output views of both DAW Host, Editor, and Synthesizer MIDI input and output data. You can even copy the data from the event logs for pasting and saving into standard text editors or other applications.

 

 

  • Easily see the MIDI message data being transmitted and received.
  • Message types are color coded for easy identification.
  • On/Off switches for In and Out views.

Advanced MIDI Configuration and Filtering

Configure the MIDI Input and Output ports and channels directly from within the Editor itself. This allows the transmission of large MIDI system exclusive data chunks, a feature not found in most DAW hosts (through a VST or AU plug-in). You are no longer limited by host system exclusive in-capabilities. Filter specific MIDI messages types between the DAW host, Editor, and Synthesizer. Absolute control of the data paths allow for complex MIDI setups that can be saved and loaded for specific routing and applications.

 

 

 

  • Easily control how data is routed between the Synthesizer, Editor, and DAW.
