For the second part of our series on using JavaScript to create a MIDI-based editor for the KORG minilogue xd, I'm going to introduce the 'jsparamlistener' JavaScript extension to get and set values in Max patchers from your js script without using patchcords.
For the third and final part of our series about building a synthesizer editor in Max with the help of JavaScript, we set about the task of incorporating System Exclusive communications into the editor itself. I’ve also included extensive examples and documentation in the accompanying patches.
In this tutorial series, I’m going to do a deep dive into designing a MIDI-based editor for a hardware synthesizer: the KORG minilogue xd. We'll be using Max, and especially the 'js' object, to accomplish this.
