 Hello, OscillatorSync here, and welcome to a video where I'm going to show off something that I've been building in the background that I'm really excited to share with you guys. As you can probably guess by the writing on the screen, what I've built is a free online patch editor for the VolcrFM and also DX7 because they work the same way. Now, this patch editor works entirely within the browser. For the moment, just Chrome and Opera. That's just because they're the only browsers that support MIDI currently, but what we have here is a full free patch editor runs entirely within the browser and it gives you complete control over all of the different parameters inside the VolcrFM so that you can more easily create sounds and edit patches as you go. So let's take a look at how it works. So usually when you get to the site for the first time, I'll just turn this on so you can see it. It will ask you whether the page can be given access to your MIDI devices. Just click Allow and this stuff down here will load automatically. You need to select your MIDI device. If you've got multiple MIDI devices, my Volcr is connected up to my Focusrite Scarlet, so I check that. Now, usually you would then select your MIDI channel, however it turns out that the VolcrFM only accepts patch information on MIDI channel one, so you can just leave that on one. Now, as I mentioned, we've got complete control over all of the different parameters down here and we'll take a listen to that and have a look at how it works in a second, but I'll just explain what's going up in this panel here. So if you go to choose file, you can choose a MIDI Cissex file that's designed for the VolcrFM or the DX7 for that matter and you can load that and it will load up its current parameters in the interface here. Once you've created a sound that you like, you can click on the Save Cissex and that will download a MIDI Cissex file to your local machine for you to save and back up so you can use it at a later date. By clicking in it patch, this will send a general initialised patch to your VolcrFM. A lot of people have been asking in the comments, where can I get an initialised patch from? Well, now you can get it by just hitting that and it will send the patch straight to the VolcrFM. But probably the coolest feature here for me is that once you've created a sound that you like and that you want to share with people and show off, you can click this Create Shareable Patch link and if you copy and paste this link, send it to someone else, they will instantly be able to access the sound that will be sent to their VolcrFM automatically. Now, one more thing before I dive into the sounds for me to mention, whenever you change any of these parameters, it will automatically send that to the VolcrFM, which will change the patch that is currently loaded. It won't overwrite anything. So once, if you accidentally send something and it's a patch that you like, don't worry, you can just reload the patch in your VolcrFM. But once you have created something that you like in the interface here, do make sure that you go ahead and save it on your VolcrFM as well. Okay, let's have a little play just so we can hear it in action. So I'm just going to turn off a bunch of the operators. I'm going to go down to the operator settings down here and choose Algorithm 5 because that's my favorite. Okay, let's just set something going on the VolcrFM. Okay, so as I mentioned, we have full control over everything. So at the moment, Algorithm 5 is operator 2 as the modulator, operator 1 as our carrier. So if we turn down operator 2's output, then we'll just hear operator 1 on its own doing its thing. Let's make this a little way up. Cool, so let's bring in operator 2. So the site will send the MIDI to your device when you let go of the slider. That's just to stop it from constantly sending MIDI to the device. So we can hear that we're getting some modulation there. It's cool. Let's detune operator 2 a bit. Get some of that nice richness happening there, lovely. Let's maybe get a bit more of a pingy kind of attack going so we can bring EG. R2 up. Yeah, that's cool. We could bring an operator 3 and 4 perhaps. Perhaps we want to make these fade a bit more. And so on. So you can see here we've got complete control over everything. That's a cool sound. So that's basically it. And also if we wanted to save or rather send this link to someone, click the create shareable patch link and then we can post that somewhere. There is a group on Facebook called the Volcrofm patch sharing group. It's a great place if you want to share your patches, that's a great place to go do it. So you can go and check that out if you like. So just a couple of other things I wanted to mention before we finish the video. The first thing is that this is currently a beta version. So there's stuff here that isn't exactly how I want it to be when it's finished. Tweaks to the interface I think the need doing. For example, I want to make sure that we can visualize the envelopes for better for example. So that's coming soon. If you have any issues, let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to sort them out. The other thing that I want to mention is that this Synth Marta page is a page that I've set up. And I'm going to be building and creating other interesting synthesis stuff that all runs inside the browser. So that might be additional control surfaces for other Synths. So if there's a Synth that you want to see supported, let me know. I'll see what I can do if I can get my hands on one for testing. If you are a Synth manufacturer and you have to be watching this and you want me to support your Synths, again, drop me a line. Drop me a line, oscillatorsyncatgmail.com and we can chat and see what we can do. If you happen to be a full stack web developer and you're watching this and you're going, man, I could definitely make this work better and you're willing to work with me again, hit me up by email or in the comments and we can chat. So yeah, control surfaces, experimental sequences, all sorts of interesting stuff on the way. I hope you enjoy using this. We'll be back next week with our tutorial videos back to normal. I'll carry on doing the tutorial videos on the Valkyrie fam itself, but you can always come and use this instead. I hope you enjoy playing with this and I hope you find it useful. Please let me know in the comments. Make sure you like the video if you're into it, hit subscribe and I will see you again soon, guys. Enjoy using it. Bye.
