I hope by putting these panels here, it helps people's view towards the Device Panels - I mean, at the moment, only those people who had made themselves some panels roughly know how powerful this can be. But the lack of documentations (and most users are not midi freaks who knows how to deal with Midi CC / SysEx) usually find it hard or just simple, ''patch script / device panel sucks'' or ''doesn't work''.

For those who have been building panels: I hope these can give inspirations (as some other people's panels have done for me). Keep 'em going - they can all look good : )

For the not-so Midi/SysEx users: well, here are some nice stuff to download and use, just don't complain we need to bring back (ugly looking/boring) Mixer Maps!

NOTES:
Ah well, I admit, this is kinda a show off attempt, but I learnt a lot by trial & error while building this.
Cubase SX has an Access Virus C panel supplied. But I have an old Virus A (and a B elsewhere).
I needed to select programs for different channels (in multi mode), plus build a kind of remote control interface for my Virus. So here it is.
I tried to stick as close to the real Virus front panel as possible. The LFO section is a little bit cramped cos on the actual Virus, LFO3 is hidden, and so are many other functions. These are brought out to the space below.
So it has full control of the LFOs, the Velocity, the Boost and the Arp.

Well, I guess, this panel and a Virus A (or B), works just as well as a Virus Control and a T1!
This basically is more like a Virus A remote Editor now, or like what you get in Sound Diver's patch edit page, I suppose...

More notes/comments: I like my panels looking similar or close to the real thing, so that I don't get lost and know roughly where each knob or parts of the panel are located. Sometimes, making something completely different could be nice, but it can also introduce a lot of confusion.

NOTES:
It's kinda obvious after doing the Virus A and the C, that I'd do the b.
I do have a Virus b, but it's not with me at the moment, so I won't be able to test this until I see my b again (maybe in a couple months' time).

The patch selection part - it has all the OS4.5 (Banks A ~ Bank H) factory patches.
Also included a ''number only'' version.

The panel is based roughly on the Virus A, but with added parameters. Other than the Internal Clock and the Assign knobs settings, most parameters are there, and it's kinda huge.
Colour is more blood orange, than the A, more closer to the Classic.

NOTES:
IN BRIEF: THIS IS THE STOCK PANEL MERGED WITH THE PATCH NAME SCRIPT (plus a bit more).
Don't just look at the screen cap and jump to conclusion, please read : )

OK, this is a little weird, since, I own only the Virus A and Virus B, but not the C, and there already exists a Virus C Device Panel in the stock panels provided by Steinberg.  So why?
Well, for a start, I've seen people asking for this in the forum...

The Virus C panel that came with Cubase, was only the panel, without any patch selection. For the Virus C, having like 1024 patches, sometimes without the Patch/Bank selection, some people might get a bit lost. (Well, I get lost even with the "A" where there are only 4 banks and the "C" has 8). Plus it'd be a pain loading a Patch Name Script for one purpose and then the Panel for the midi controls.

THE PANEL PART:
Mainly is a copy/edit/replica of the stock Virus C Panel. I didn't really bother with doing extra graphics. But most parameters that were in the stock panel, are also here.

You get a choice for selecting:
- Virus C OS6 Presets
- Virus C OS6 Multi's
- Virus C OS5 Presets
- Virus C OS5 Multi's
OR
- Virus C USER Patches
The User Patch BANK is basically, numbered, but without names, so you get the A000-A127 ~ H000-H127.

The Panel sends out Midi CC's, works on all 16 Midi Channels.

The Panel sends out Midi CC's, works on all 16 Midi Channels.

Just a simple Midi CC panel for the Alesis micron. This only covers some of the controls.

The micron has been around for years and it seems there's been no patch name script done for it.
Not surprising, cos problem is that, the patch names PDF that Alesis provides on their website seems to be for v1.00 while, after updated to the micron presets to v1.02, 4 or 5 new patches were added and the whole program change numbers got shifted.
Also, patch names for rhythms, patterns and setups are nowhere to be found in Alesis' documents.

This started out as a plain Patch Name Script that i wanted to do for the micron, got all the programs working and corrected for v1.02, and i also ended up typing in all the names for the patterns, rhythms and setups.
So now, Programs, Patterns and Rhythms can be selected. Setups can also be selected, but once the micron has changed to setup, the program change cannot put it back to programs/patterns/rhythms.

Includes all v1.02 factory patchnames for Programs, Patterns, Rhythms and Setups.
The Panel sends out Midi CC's (NRPN), works on all 16 Midi Channels.

The main panel is made up from multiple sub-panels, mostly Inspector Panels, plus a smaller version of the 'Drum Editor'.

The Panel sends out SysEx AND Midi CC's, works on all 16 Midi Channels*.

NOTES:
I have done a patch script for the Quasar before, I always wanted to do a panel - somehow, the midi spec's of Quasimidi products are quite ''powerful'', yet, there hasn't even a mixermap around.
So I decided to give this a go, but ran into quite a few issues - mainly because the Midi Device Manager was giving me all sorts of problems with Independent Channels AND Multi Banks and/or alias Parameters etc.

The patch names selection part contains all 8 Internal Banks, the T.R.E. & Hardcore Banks, the Channel 10 Drum Banks, plus the Performances.
I was gonna use BANK ASSIGNMENT so that for example, Channel 10 can be pre-config fro Drums. But as stated above, This conflicted with alias channel parameters...

For each channel, there is the Channel Mix Panel, which is basically one strip of the 16 channels, plus the Global Master & Effects, plus the Drum Editor. (Note: Drum Editor has no effect except on Midi = Channel 10).

The Drum Editor, basically, just like the Akai SG01v above, you can edit each Volume, Pan, FX send and Tuning for each Drum Note.  Only thing is I didn't bother with the special PAN setting.

For the ARP control, I only put the On/Off/Resolution select, and the Speed & Gate controls. All the other SysEx parameters ''interact'' with each other, but the Midi Device Manager does not allow this for the time being.

The Panel sends out SysEx AND Midi CC's, works on all 16 Midi Channels*.
The System Master Midi Channel is Ch. 13.  This is needed for the SysEx to work.
I chose Ch. 13 because in "Performance + Multi-Mode", the Quasar acts as 12 Midi Channels (1-12) + the Performance, it makes sense to play the Performance on Ch.13.

Please note: Cubase takes quite a bit of time to import this, this is not due to the panel, but the patch banks which has like over 1000 entries, please be patient when loading :)

NOTES:
Actually this one has 9 Inspector Panels, grouped into 1 large main panel (with the larger mixer substitute).
Each part basically controls nearly all the available midi parameters, very close to the SoftBase Editor functions, except maybe for voice select.
Again, it is full patch name selection + midi control panel.

Works on any of the 16 midi channels that is assigned in Cubase, the controls send Midi CC messages.
LFOs would only work if Midi Clock is received.

NOTES:
This is for the Roland MKS-7 Super Quartet.

Patch selection includes separate Banks for the Melody Tone Block, Bass Block and the Chord Block. They are separated via Bank Assignment.

The Main Large Panel, that could be assessed on Inspector Midi Channel 'ANY', is basically a special combination - with one Melody Block, one Bass Block and one Chord Block.

Each Midi Channel also has its Inspector Panel.

NOTES:
After doing the MKS-7 Panel, thought I'd take a look at the Juno-106.
The SysEx spec of the Juno-106 is like 90% similar to the MKS-7's Melody/Chord Block, so it'd be very easy to to do.  For the record, the differences are: the Juno-106 has DCO Noise Level instead of a switch, 3 HPF settings, VCF Polarity instead of VCA Polarity, and Chorus as Type I and Type II. So in fact, the switches in the Juno-106 is easier to config.

There is only 1 slight issue - Patch Changes. The 106 does not respond to Midi Program Change.  So to change Bank/Patches, requires sending it a SysEx message, but along with the patch data values.

This is very important, please read carefully if you intend to use this:
I have done a Patch selection for the Factory Banks (A and B), with numbered location & patch names. HOWEVER, at the Inspector, changing the patch will actually send out the Factory SysEx, selecting the correct location of the patch/bank BUT ALSO sending the factory patch values.
So if you have your internal patches modified, then be careful in using this patch selection.
(Note: Alternatively, you can set the Inspector Midi Channel to 'ANY', the main panel there is set to Ch 1, but at 'ANY', it wouldn't use the Patch Selection, but instead it'll use/store snapshots).

Slight updates in 2 areas:

1. Put a BMP as the background, so it no longer uses the default Cubase widgets. Placement of most sliders are as close to the real PG-300 (except some selector sliders are upside down in reverse, due to limitation of the slider object).

2. The Patch selection now includes all factory presets for :
- MKS-50
- Alpha Juno 1 (Ju-1)
- Alpha Juno 2 (Ju-2)
Plus an extra set for "numbers only", useful for those with customed presets, but wanna keep track of the preset locations.

NOTES:
Well, even heavier...
I only have an MKS-80 and not an MPG-80, so I'm quite glad I have done this (and it now equals 12u rackmount space of two MPG-80s!).
I suppose again, the ultimate show off - well, who said Midi Device Panel cannot look good?

Here, I tried to make a Panel that re-creates the MPG-80 programmer for the Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter rackmount.
With a little time and care, it can look good. (To be honest, I don't quite like boring Mixer Maps panels, sorry).

Anyway, like the MKS-70 JX panel, because the MKS-80 has Upper and Lower tone, I have placed 2 MPG-80 panels here.
Note that the Lower Patch: Key Mode, Split Point and Balance does the same thing as the one above.

NOTES:
I have two ATC-1s in 2 countries. The one I got here has the ''Rotary Dial not working" problem. I am a little lazy to fix it for the time being, because it involves ordering a £30 rotary encoder replacement.
So I built this panel to 1/ select patch names of the 512 programs and 2/ to control most of the parameters.

There is one problem tho... Some functions of the ATC-1 are not controlled by Midi CC#, they can be configured by SysEx, but they're not individually documented. I took a look at the Sound Diver adaptation, the patch editing affects the whole patch, so at the moment, without the SysEx implementation details, I can't add those extra functions in this panel, but I think it is ok good enuf for the time being ; )

NOTES:
I had the DW8000/EX-8000 patch name only XML for some times, and was meant to add the panel - long due! Well now here it is, all done. (Erm... maybe a little too colourful, I suppose...)

Patch name part is the same as the old names only XML, selecting all A11-A88 and B11-B88 presets.
Panel part has all the patch parameters, using 1 SysEx string with a Parameter variable.  The arrangement / placement for the sliders are similar to the old VST EX-8000 Mixer Map.

NOTES:
This one's for the Kawai K1m and K1.
Patch selection has all the Factory 'I's and 'i's and Multi's, plus 'numbers only' version.

Panel part is basically built up with combinations of Inspector Panels, basically most of the single editable parameters are all there,

NOTES:
I did a Patch Name Script XML for the eleVAta (see below), and since the eleVAta is really quite Midi Controllable, so a panel has to be added!!

Patch Selection includes all the preset patch names, panel has all the midi controls.
It's a bit of a shame that there's no further midi or SysEx info, it would be nice if some menu function switches are midi controllable too.

NOTES:
I did a patch name script (and then a Patch Name only XML) for the DSI Evolver quite a while ago.
I always wanted to do a full blown panel, but Rory Dow has already done a brilliant massive one.
Well, recently, I thought maybe I should add the panel to my existing patch only XML, so I don't have to load two different XMLs. In the end I found myself making more & more BMPs and ended up finishing a full panel.

Basically, the panel layout here is based on Rory Dow's (but now with graphics/backgrounds) - only that I tried to do them as Inspector Panels, as many as possible, so that I can try to reduce the overall size and many of them can be used at the Inspector. 

The main large panel is still quite huge tho... but what the hack, it has patch selections & fancy panel all in one now :)

NOTES:
Well, this is basically a virtual panel of the M.A.R.S. Control programmer for the Vermona M.A.R.S.

The patch selection part, has all the presets numbered and named (from the latest OS v1.27) factory patches. (001-064 and then duplicate of those in 065-127). There are 2 more groups/folders, which are exactly the same,  numbered but without the patch names.

The panel part is a basically a virtual M.A.R.S. Control - the layout is exactly the same. Note that R1 and R2, (which are reserved and don't really do anything) send out Bank Select CC, as in the real hardware, but these 2 Midi CC's are not really used by the M.A.R.S.

NOTES:
Yes, I am one of those few who has a Transistorbass3.
After some time studying the German manual, and trying to understand what the midi's all about (by using online translator web pages/tools!), I kinda worked out roughly what does what.
1st of all, the patch selection will select the pre-defined settings/programs.

The Panel, has 2 parts.
The top part doesn't really do anything. It's a dummy panel (see below in the Dummy Panel section).
It basically recreates the front panel, so I can use it as a visual patch sheet and then store a snap shot.
The bottom part, are the actual switches and so on, that send Midi CC to control various modulation routings of the Transistorbass3.

NOTES:
This was done in 2004.
The knobs (and the duplicated sliders) send out the MIDI CC to control the MB33II.
The rest are dummy controls, for visual patch sheet / snapshot purpose.

NOTES:
This was done in 2004. I have two TeeBee's - a MK I (Modified) and a MK III (yellow one - which is in another country!).
Again, the knobs (and plus the duplicated sliders) sends the MIDI CC to control the MB33II.
The rest are dummy controls, for visual patch sheet / snapshot purpose.
Can be used with all Mk I, Mk II, and Mk III version of the TeeBee, including ones that have the custom mods - cos I have put those mod switches as dummy switches there too!

NOTES:
With all 35 presets program changes and all the midi CC functions.
The Volume, Overdrive, Key Click, Percussion Volume, Decay & Preset knobs are dummy knobs.

NOTES:
With all 32 presets program changes and all the midi CC functions.
The Volume and Overdrive knobs are dummy knobs.

NOTES:
Patch/Presets Part: all 32 presets program changes, with program numbers & names, grouped.
Panel Part: for selecting the effect plus reverb / chorus adjust.

NOTES:
Right, altho there is now the Virtual BassStation, there are still a lot of original BassStation Racks out there, and I suppose it's nice to have a patch select devicemap and a control panel for it!

So basically this is a BassStation Rack split in two halves, with the exception that there are 2 sets of envelope knobs.
All the knobs that have Data Entry value boxes are "real" knobs that transmit the Midi CC, controlling the Filters and Envelope settings.
The Top row, except for the Main Volume, and all the other switches, are all dummy (in this case, for cosmetic purposes!)

The patch selection part includes all 40 factory ROM (with names) and the other 60 User slots.

NOTES:
Panel for the Solton SM100, 6 voice poly / 12 DCO synth!
I don't have the manual for the SM100, in fact, it seems no one has!! But there's an editor on the net, showing that the SM100 actually responds to MIDI CC's. So I made this panel from the same Midi CC's that are sent out from the editor.

Press EDIT on the Panel, and the EDIT on the SM100 will light up, and that's where the fun begins...

However, there are 2 issues:
1. VCA Release uses Midi CC#09 - there's a bug in the Midi Device Panel - it hasn't got CC09! So it's like hitting the jackpot this time! At the moment VCA Release is assigned to a 14 bit Midi CC.
2. LFO Waveform Sine/Square On/Off - they use CC#72 and #73. One ON while the other is OFF. This is not quite possible at the moment for the device panel to assign 2 CC's for the same parameter. I just did Midi CC72 for the Sine and  CC#73 for the Square.

Patch selection utilize program changes 0-99, which selects the 0-99 presets, where 0-39 are ROM presets and 40-99 are user presets.

Beware tho, the SM100 uses some very standard Midi CC's like Volume (CC07), Pan (CC10), Modulation (CC01) and so on but using them as any other controller, but not actually volume, pan nor modulation - that's cos these standard CC's weren't even properly defined back in 1985.

NOTES:
Did this sometimes in late 2004.
But actually my Syntrack is not here with me at the moment, so I can't test it out properly (yet).
But should work.

NOTES:
OK, this is for the Cheetah MS6, with the brilliant firmware upgrade from Kristofer Maads MS6 Resource Center. This is for the v1.3 firmware upgrade.

Reason is, the MS6 itself does not respond to MIDI CC's (except for like Midi Volume, Modulation & Sustain).
Altho with the original firmware, the synth could be edited via SysEx, but the SysEx could only be done / received as a whole bank (even if you're just editing 1 parameter) which makes editing or tweaking quite impossible.
The new firmware, however, allows each parameter to be edited via Midi CC (plus add a load of functions too). It is really a must for any MS6 user!!

Patch name part is the same as the old names only XML, selecting all the presets.
Panel part is basically a TONE EDIT panel, roughly the same as the old VST Tone Edit Mixermap from the MS6 Resource center. The panel layout is based on the Visual Parameter Sheet layout done by Paul Nicholls (which is again in the MS6 Resource Center download section).

NOTES:
Right... Previously, I had here an edited stock Panel merged with the Patch Name selection XML. I guess the screen-cap got people confused thinking it was just the stock panel, not totally sure that this is the patch names script + panel, and probably hence, not even bother looking at the notes I put here (!)

Well, time has come to give this a revamp. I really didn't like the look of that stock panel anyway. (For new version3 update, please see below).

My Matrix-1000 panel began life as an edited / re-combined / recompiled (err.. remixed!) panel.
Cubase came with an Oberheim Matrix 1000 panel. No patch selection script inside the panel tho. I have made a Matrix-1000 patch script (numbered, plus some names) for quite some time, so I decided to merge the two.

Recently I saw people attempting to make a similar panel but using SysEx as patch selection. But hey, there's no need. The Matrix-1000 responds to Bank Commands, u just need a few more lines there before it kicks into changing the banks/patches.

So basically, this edited XML, includes full 1000 program changes, numbered/named, works on all 16 midi channels, plus, on the panel side, I have put the stock Matrix-1000 device control panel there.

UPDATE v3 (2006/02)
This is a total remake - I didn't even drag&drop/copy any parameters from the other panel. I just restarted fresh again from the XML with the Patch Names, and build this again (didn't take long at al tho).

As with the previous v2, the whole thing only uses 3 SysEx strings with variable functions, so SysEx strings are kept to a minimum (UNLIKE the stock Panel which has about 50+ independent SysEx strings!).

NOTES:
I was helping another forum member (Hi, Vic!) on a Roland JV-1080 panel, and in the process, I actually learnt a great deal about channel sub-nodes behavior.

Patch Selection part contains all the patch names to the 255 patches & performance names are all there too.

There are two other panels, basically two Rhythm "Note" Editors.

The first one, being the basic/simple one, is locked at Channel 10, and it used purely Midi CC / NRPN controllers, which basically is a GS Standard drum editor.

The 2nd one is a more advanced Rhythm Note Editor, all using SysEx. This can only be called up when the Inspector Channel is set to ANY and you have to Ctrl Click the Open Device little button (at the top of the Inspector) so to choose to open it.

The Panels send out SysEx AND Midi CC's, & work on all 16 Midi Channels*.

NOTES:
Well, I have my AdrenaLinn II (v2.1) hooked up to Cubase as an External Effect.
There were a few problems - like the drum pattern always starts if I send the AdrenaLinn II a midi clock...
So I did a panel to control it, so that I can easily turn off the drums while using it as a BPM synced FX processor! (Well, plus whole load of most functions too)!
My AdrenaLinn II is Indigo and not Yellow, hence the panel is kinda Indigo-ish too.

NOTES:
Just a quick basic/simple panel to control the VP-7. I wanted to control more, but it's a shame, the Midi spec of the VP-7 is very limited (e.g. can't even control the Ambience/Reverb effects depth!)...
Includes patch name program selections...

NOTES:
Another quick basic/simple panel to control the TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-M.

NOTES:
I have a Mo-FX unit, but it's not with me at the moment, so this panel hasn't been completely tweaked or fine-tuned.
But all the parameters are there, complete with Snap-shot storage (since the Mo-FX does not have any presets nor responds to Midi Program Change).

NOTES:
This is another half 'real' / half 'dummy' panel, for the MIDI version of the Mutator. (Or u can use it for the non-Midi version, just for virtual patch sheet snapshots storage).

Since the Mutator (MIDI) only receive midi data for the Filter CutOff, Resonance and VCA Level, as well as Midi Note Numbers for the Filter - so all the other knobs & switches on this panel again act as a virtual snap-shot patch sheet.

The Mutator uses 2 adjacent Midi Channels, so the bottom row is always a channel higher (i.e. +1).
This should work fine for Midi Channel 1 - 15, but if u have the first/top channel being Midi Ch.16, then the lower row probably won't work, cos the panel will think it wanna send things out to Midi Ch 17 which doesn't exist! :)

NOTES:
This one is for the MAM Warp9 Filter.
I thought about doing dummy knobs for the rest of the controls, but in the end opted for having all the controllable knobs thee instead.
Patch Selection part allows program change selection of the 32 patches.

NOTES:
For the original POD.
Patch Selection contains the POD Channel Banks Changes for all the 9 factory banks, plus numbers/no name only (for those who have modified the factory presets).
Panel is fairly big, I was gonna put the list of cab models, but it'd then make the panel even larger, but the Amp Models list is there.

NOTES:
A beta panel.

Someone asked for a panel for the Total Mix to control an RME Fireface. Well, I have a Multiface which also has the Total Mix (but with one or two less functions) so I thought maybe I'd give it a goal, since there seems to be quite a few issues about getting a panel to work.

Problems...
1st of all, the RME Total Mix itself, can only receive its midi controls from any MIDI IN ports on the computer, so basically you can't assign this to the RME midi output. For this to work, you'd need a midi loopback device. There are a few, like Midi Yoke (comes with Midi-Ox), or the Marblesound Virtual MIDI Cable. Personally I used the old Sonic Foundry Virtual Midi Driver, which used to be a free download for Sound Forge / Acid users.
So basically, the panel has to be assigned to a virtual midi port in Cubase, then in Total Mix, the same virtual port has to be selected as Midi In.

2nd, most of the Mute / Solo, basically the ''button switches" that Total Mix uses are MIDI NOTES.
This creates some problems, because the Midi Device Manager doesn't allow you to assign Midi Note as the target in the parameters.
I figured out this could be solved by importing the old VST32 Mixer Maps, which allow Midi Notes.
I've also done a Midi Note On template XML (see below).
So this panel has to use these imported Midi Note parameters.

3rdly, I think this is a tiny bug in the Midi Device Panel. When a Midi Note is assigned to a switch...
With Switch (One Shot) - it just won't trigger.
With Switch (On/Off) - it sometimes sends out double notes, so it's not perfect.
So in this panel, I've tried to use the only working mode which is Switch (Momentary).
(I think I've left the Channel Mute / Solo as on/off switches, so if you wanna test this out, you'll see they're kinda ''sticky'')

Last of all...
The Total Mix uses a few Midi Notes to emulate the Mackie Control cursor, so the selection of a group of 8 faders are moved left or right, up or down, where the controls for these 8 faders stay the same.
As you can see from the Screen Cap above, I've only done 8 faders, with the cursor U/D/L/R - but there is no way of knowing which sets of 8 faders are selected (unless you check the Total Mix display).
The only way, I guess, to solve this issue, is either RME provides a (better) way to access all faders, or Steinberg provides us with info on how to do multiple page/tab/panes with a parameter change in each tab. That way, you can move to the next tab/pane and knows which 8 faders you're looking at.

NOTES:
Midi Learn was set to Modulation (Midi CC#01), which controls the filter frequency cutoff knob.
The Glide On/Off and the Program Changes + Midi Volume (CC#07) are real, whereas the rest are dummy knobs.

NOTES:
This, again, like the Doepfer MS-404 above, is a ''semi'' / half Dummy panel.
The Midi spec of the ProTone is very similar to the MS-404, in fact, the Midi-CV used inside the ProTone was in fact a customed Doepfer.

Anyway, all controls are dummy EXCEPT for the Main Volume, Accent Switch and the Program Mode Changes.
Midi Learn was set to Modulation (Midi CC#01). This actually gets its own fader instead of assigned to the Filter CutOff knob because, there are times when the CutOff knob is set to an offset.

NOTES:
Dummy panel for the Moog Rogue, but kinda in 2 flavours.
The top part is basically the same as on an actual Moog Rogue front panel.
The bottom part is for the Oakley Moog Rogue Rackmount, which is the one that I have - which has a slightly re-ordered front panel and this part is probably not of much use to anybody else. But since I was making this for a Rogue, so I also put the original Rogue on top, so it may be used for any Rogues as a virtual patch sheet.
