Fully agree with you. And they don't even suply the manual in electronic =
format, as they do for newer Korg products (Electribes).=20

A good idea. I'll be more than happy to help you with new ideas.=20

Yep. If you are going to make a graphical editor with graphical =
controls, could you please make it possible to map MIDI controllers (or =
other MIDI messages) to the graphical controls of the editor (sort of =
like the MIDI learn function in Generator). In other words, you could =
assign every graphical control a MIDI equivalent and save your MIDI =
translation map as a preset. It would be really handy if I could operate =
the software controls with MIDI. I have the JP-8080 and it would be a =
great tool for tweaking my X5 in realtime. As far as I know, there's =
currently know graphical editor which allows you to map MIDI messages =
to the UI sliders and knobs. XG-edit, 05/x5 sound editor and Sound Diver =
are all unable to do that.=20
I think it would also be cool to have a dedicated, simplified set of =
controls for making analog synth type sounds. Something similar to the =
Osc 5 editor for Roland JV/XP synths.=20
I have a wish concerning the user interface of the editor. I think you =
should really use the standard colors and controls of Windows (like =
Seq303 does). No fancy custom controls or dazzling color schemes please. =
While the Windows's controls may look boring, everybody knows how to =
operate them and they work well with accessibility products. I am =
visually impaired and using Microsoft's Magnifier. The custom controls =
and interface are the reason why I think Sound Diver sucks, though the =
concept is very good.=20
