This editor is made with MT-32 and SoundDiver 3.0.5 for Mac, but may work with other models, versions and platforms. I hope it will work with other compatibles - MT-100, E-10/20, Pro-E, RA-50, CM-32L, CM-64 and CM-500. Please tell me if you can test this editor with them.

The Synth Architecture

This editor combines several parameters together to make a simplified synth architecture.
All partials share the same ADSR Filter Envelope and Key Scaling.
Partial 1&2 shares the same resonance depth, Pulse Width and PW Velocity, so do Partial 3&4.
All partials share the same AR Amp Envelope - the Decay Time can be set individually.
All partials share the same Vibrato Depth - the Vibrato Rate can be set individually.
Pitch EG is used as Auto Bend. All partials shares the same Auto Bend Rate, and the Depth can be set individually.
There are buttons to set the partial's volume to 64 and 100 at one click - this is useful because PCM partials sound much smaller than Synth partials.

Note

Put the .ADA file into the Diver folder to install the editor.
Load initmt32.lib into the editor before editing.
Put the cursor on the dials, and the parameter names are displayed.
Before storing the sound, always be sure to use SoundDiver's Request function to reload the sound, or the edited data would be lost.
Use "Edit Timber" bank basically. "Edit Dual" bank uses 2 multi-parts to stack the sounds.
Currently, this editor does not can't store the sounds in MT-32 - the edited data are only saved in SoundDiver.
