This thread is intended to gather the feedback of Orba tinkerers.

@ Roger - Thank you!

I don't know what I'm doing and what the values stand for. But it seems to work (Windows) :-).

As you say in the help text, Drum Voices are currently not supported.

When saving a preset I entered a new name again, but that was not necessary.

Nice!

Ok here is version 1 of my Orba Preset Editor. It's written in LiveCode which you will need to run the app. (Get LiveCode free from https://livecode.org/download-member-offer/).

I can't get the images to work as I cannot work out how the uuid and CoverImageHash are calculated, if you know then let me know.

Get the Orba Preset Editor on Github at https://github.com/Batninja/Orba-Preset-Editor

Enjoy!

Roger, uuid is usually any ‘unique identifier’ - looks like they’re using hex for that so make sure the length is right, use any valid hex and see what happens.  The cover image hash will be a hash/checksum of the base64 encoded cover image code itself - you’ll need to check some of the existing images to find out which type of checksum they’re using.  I would expect MD5, it’s very common.  Plenty of sites online that will let you check that out.

HI, I'm working on a Preset editor, what values do you use for the coverImageHash and uuid attributes? i.e. coverImageHash="38909232068284" uuid="1a77c107db6b4875993a1e81689e0e79"

Thanks

Roger

Yes, should be able to run on Mac and PC, to run the GitHub file from but you will need to obtain the free version of Livecode community authoring tool.

Looks nice @Roger Mepham. Hope we could also run this on a PC.

:) :)

Looks promising. 

Just by googling, maybe:

WG = Waveform Generator

LFO = Low Frequency Oscillator

(?)

As I have seen is the TuningEntry name the only important setting for Bass & Lead (internal sounds) with values "Major", "Major Pentatonic" and "Minor Pentatonic" known to me - I would expect that the other settings are for midi. 

Hey! I never experimented on that.

I just assumed that changing intervals and midi note values would work... :-/

(matching note values & scale intervals)

Does anybody know anything more about tuning / scales? I'm trying to make a harmonic minor lead patch, but no luck yet.

I successfully made a Grapefruit lead patch that is modified to be a major scale, thanks to Andrea's post, but further experimentation with adjusting individual values in the TuningEntry section is fruitless. 

First I thought that changing the root note would work just by e.g. 

key="A"  >>  key="B"

 But that doesn't seem to have an effect. Even if I match the note values, like:

tuning="57, 59, 60, 62, 64, 65, 68, 69"

 It still doesn't work. I can't figure this out...maybe it has to do with changing the transpositionType value?

Anybody else messing with this?

You're welcome. I wish I had more time to experiment with this.

Many thanks to everyone for all the tips and very cool presets!!!

Especially like Andrea's note re. diatonic tuning any preset. Very fun!

Never tried. There is no documentation about this, as far as I know.

I don't have root permits either ATM, so I haven't tried.
