KORG DS-8
SoundDiver editor

DS-8 adaptation

I analyzed DS-8's SysEx dump data, and made an editor for Emagic SoundDiver.

Download the DS-8 adaptation: ds8.sit (8KB). See the readme file for details.

Note

I made this adaptation with DS-8, SoundDiver 3.0.5.2 and Mac OS 9.1, but it will work with other versions and platforms.
I don't know if it works with KORG 707, a version without effects. Please tell me if you can test the editor with 707 and SoundDiver.
Currently, only the Single voice can be edited. The voices are stored in the Virtual Bank that only exists in SD, and this editor does not treat DS-8's internal bank.
This editor uses Single voice I00 as the edit buffer. Be sure to back up DS-8's memory before using this editor.
This editor does not work very fast, as I haven't analyzed the Parameter Change Sysex messagess. Also DS-8's effector responds slowly to the edited data.
"Min/Max" in the Effect section shows the legal range for the effect parameters. Values that exceed this range may cause problems.
The voice name is not displayed correctly in the bank window, as DS-8 uses a nonstandard data format.
