Description

Juno Alpha Control is a M4L bidirectionnal interface to control your Roland Juno Alpha directly in Ableton Live.

It features feedback on the M4L device when you change the preset on your Juno giving you the preset's name and the value of each parameters.

(should also works with Juno 2 and MKS-50 but I didn't try)

TO MAKE IT RUN PROPERLY, PLEASE READ BELOW

(Steps 4 to 6 only the first time you use it) :

1.- Connect Juno's MIDI In and Out to your MIDI interface

2.- Active "MIDI Excl" on your Juno by pressing "MIDI" button six times and change the value to "ON" with the dial.

3.- Put the .amxd file on a MIDI track in Live and set the MIDI output to go to your Juno MIDI IN.

4.- Edit and unfreeze the device to get acess to the file called Juno_Alpha_Router_In_Out.maxpat

(should be located in your Max files path :

/Max/Max for Live Devices/Juno Alpha Control Project/patchers)

5.- Close the unfreezed device and quit Max.

6.- Delete the M4L device on your track and re-put it again.

7.- Open Juno_Alpha_Router_In_Out.maxpat file with Max Runtime (we need this to make a Sysex bridge over Ableton who filters those messages.)

8.- Set the MIDI Input and Output of the Juno_Alpha_Router :

MIDI out should be set to send data your Juno MIDI input

MIDI in should be set to receive data from your Juno MIDI output

When you change paramaters or preset on your Juno, the MIDI In Led should blink.

When you change parameters on the M4L device, the MIDI out Led should blink

If nothing appear, close the Router and quit Max, delete the device on your track.

Try again by starting the Router first and the putting the device again on your track.

- To save a preset, SHIFT+click on a circle on the right

- Morph between two presets, enter the two presets that you want to morph (number box on the top right) and move the morph dial.

Annotations help in Live (push SHIFT+?)

- Have fun with it, please, if you use it, rate it, or make a donation if you want ;-) Thank you !
