2.5.1 A ton of new synth adaptations
This release brings a whole load of new adaptations, some of which are brand new and some have been around but not part of the official release for a while. If you encounter any problems, just let me know!
Synths:
- #274 Roland Juno-DS - adaptation created by @mslinn, a thousand thanks for developing this from scratch and contributing it!
- #394 Moog Voyager - nicely working adaptation for the classic. Thanks to Thanks to @troach242 for the nudge and test!
- #395 Akai AX80 - beta version of the adaptation. Feedback please by owners! Thanks to O.S.R.C. on YT for the nudge!
- #396 Korg M1 - beta version of the adaptation. Feedback please by owners! Thanks to Jentusalentu at YT for the nudge!
- #398 Waldorf M - alpha version of the adaptation. Thanks to @RadekPilich for testing!
- #397 Elektron Analog Rytm -- beta version. Thanks to @RadekPilich for the request!
- Elektron Digitone -- alpha version, as it looked very similar to the Analog Rytm. This needs more work, owners please provide feedback so we can complete it.
- #244 Waldorf Pulse alpha, this needs some more work and investigation. Thanks to @markusschlosser and chatGPT for the groundwork.
- Sequential Trigon-6 beta, this should be relatively straightforward as the Sequential synths all behave well.
- Oberheim Teo-5 beta, this is a newer synth and probably close to the Take-5 in terms of MIDI.
- Oberheim OB-X8 beta, this is now based on the generic Sequential module. Fingers crossed this works!
Bug fixes:
- Fixed #388: Switching the database would not clear the right hand side panels for current patch, bank, and patch history.

2.5.0
New build and technology:
- #376 The Mac build got a complete overhaul, and is now a universal binary for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, as well
as being signed and notarized avoiding the override on open, and it contains the Python framework so hopefully the
Apple Python problems are a thing of the past now. Need more feedback of whether it works on your Mac, it works on mine! - Update to C++ 20 means we need at least MacOS 10.11
- Now supporting Ubuntu 24.03
- Major update of 3rd party dependencies, fmt, Gin, nlohmann, JUCE (now on 8.0.3), pybind, spdlog and more.
- Added a Makefile for easy testing of the various build steps on MacOS.
Synths:
- New adaptation for the E-mu Morpheus, thanks to Kid Who for testing this!
- Ensoniq VFX/VFX-SD now moved from alpha to works and part of the distribution. Thanks to @dancingdog for testing this!
- New version 0.92 of the Ensoniq SQ-1 adaptation, thanks to @Mostelin!
Removes the need to manually EXIT the input buffer between each program load. Now, when a program is loaded the display defaults to programs 1-10 of the Internal bank, and shows the C compare message at bottom left.
By pressing the Compare button, users can switch between the just-loaded program or the previously selected program. The loaded program can be written to any location in the usual manner: press the Write button and then select a location to overwrite. - Line 6 POD Series Adaptation contributed by @milnak!
- Novation Summit pulls wrong bank #375 - fixed bank retrieval on the Novation Summit. Thanks to @RadekPilich for reporting!
- #368 An alpha version for the Roland V-Drums TD-07. Thanks to @mslinn for giving the nudge!
Bug fixes:
- #343 Patches showing wrong bank - import sometimes messed up original program positions, this fix should now work much better to keep the
original program position at the time of import visible in the properties. - #372 The Visibility bug from issue 242's back - fixed the Ubuntu build warnings caused by a special feature of gcc

2.4.4
Added file missing from 2.4.3 for Yamaha YC series.
The Mac build for 2.4.4 had problems, please download 2.4.0 for now!
2.4.3
The Mac build for 2.4.3 had problems, please download 2.4.0 for now!
New features:
- #344 Send a message to all connected outputs from the MIDI Log view. This is useful for debugging and quickly checking
response of devices. This is an initial try for this functionality, please feel free to give feedback for more!
Synths:
- Yamaha YC series implemented by @milnak, thanks for the contribution! This adds support for the Yamaha YC61/YC73/YC88.
- Yamaha reface CP updated by @milnak.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed #355: Creating synth banks with fill didn't work if there were less patches available than required to make a full synth bank.
Fixed by just repeating the last entry to make sure the entire bank is full. - Fixed #354: Deleted user banks are still visible in the UI but gone after restart
- Fixed #352: The accidental jump back to page 1 on editing a category. This was a regression but introduced with #310 back in April 2024 with the release of 2.3.0
- Fixed #353: Renaming a patch would not set the patch to dirty in the synth bank, and therefore sending the changed bank to the synth
did not update that patch, failing to change the name in the synth. There is more to this issue, but the main problem is fixed. - One more fix for the create bank with fill - don't crash when no patch matches the current filter. Thanks to @salzaverde!

2.4.2
Bug fixes:
- Increase the maximum number of MIDI messages per patch allowed. This was 10, which is too small for some synths. Increase to 14, and make it configurable via environment variable "ORM_MAX_MSG_PER_PATCH" for easier experiments.
2.4.1
Bug fixes:
Renaming the second layer was broken, it would accidentally rename the first layer again. This impacted all multi-layer name synths like the Prophet Rev2 and the Prophet 12. Introduced in 2.3.1 only, fixed with 2.4.1.
2.4.0
New features:
- #334 Auto fill new lists and banks: When creating a list or a new user bank, you know have the option to autofill the list
with patches from the currently selected search. E.g. you can easily make a list of your current favorite OB-6 basses by
setting up a filter and then clicking "add new list" and select auto fill with top hits. Or you can create a new user bank
with a random selection of all patches marked as "Lead", and subsequently send this into the synth. - The selected send mode is now persisted across program runs, and specific for each synth. So you can e.g. select
edit buffer to always get the correct patch when sending to a synth with small edit buffers, and automatic to prefer program
change messages for slow synths like the Hydrasynth. If you always only want to send program change, select that send mode and
make sure the synths of the banks are imported so KnobKraft knows which patch is where in the synth.
Synths:
- Yamaha reface DX #324 had indicated a potential wrong impementation of the checksum, which did not seem to be effective but
I changed the implementation anyway.
Bug fixes:
- #333 was a bug that was preventing the program change send mode to work properly with the reface DX and other synths.
- Fixed crash on exit which happened sometimes when MIDI messages were still being received duing shutdown.
2.3.2 - built for mac OS 13, Intel/Rosetta binary
This should work again on our Macs.
No change/build made for Linux or Windows, use the 2.3.1 instead!
2.3.1 Send mode, sorting, clear filter UI
New features:
- #34 One of the oldest feature requests finally done - there is a button to the top right to clear all filters at once
- #39 Added a combo box to the top right to select which sort order you prefer. The duplicate name search now does no longer force name sorting, because you
can now select it anyway. - #234 Added a combo box below the patch grid to select the send mode. Auto is what was before, send sysex only if position in synth
is not known. Now you can force it to always send sysex, or to always send only program change (which fails if no position known). - #326 The About Dialog now contains a link to the homepage.
- #327 Added missing test files for Python development to the Windows installer
Synths:
- Yamaha reface CP: New adaptation contributed by @milnak. Many thanks!
- Roland D50: Some progress made on the adaptation, but there are still some problems loading banks. Help appreciated!
Bug fixes:
- #322 Fixed migration problem for some old databases, most notably the database published with all the Ensoniq VFX patches.
- #325 Fixed rename of patch impossible if adaptation had implemented nameFromDump() but not renamePatch(). Now, when only nameFromDump() is
implemented any rename will change the name in the database, which overrides the stored patch name. - Updated link to JUCE documentation, as this is no longer with ROLI
