PC/MAC Editors for Boss DD-500 and ES-8 out

[rfurtkamp]

Happy day!

Now I have to get a DD-500 though. Damn.

Download/instructions on the respective product pages at Roland.

Just in time, got my strymon's, loop switchers and h9 all running from software last weekend...my pedalboard is now a vst

[rfurtkamp]

It's ok, the editor isn't doing anything for anyone outside the Roland offices it seems!

[D.o.S.]

Well that's unfortunate, but I am tres excited about this.

[rfurtkamp]

DD-500 might fly, all I have is a ES-8.

Still interested in a DD-500 now that they're committing to doing it though.

I've run excessive troubleshooting (multiple MIDI options/cables/interfaces) that connect just fine to other Boss/Roland stuff and non-Roland junk.

Midi-ox troubleshooting is showing it's not even trying to talk out of the editor.

But those same cables can receive bulk dumps and update the firmware lol.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah being able to create/edit patches without the cumbersome menu diving would solve the one annoying aspect of the DD-500. It is a really kick ass pedal.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, I am definitely very, very interested with an editor.

They'd promised one in the pre-leadup to release, and it's why I crossed it off my damn list.

I don't mind menu-diving on units where there's no choice, but in this day and age, to not have one.. is insane.

SERIOUSLY. I'm really stoked for this I need to figure out how to break this thing how UC broke his nemesis for the IC water patch

[Inconuucl]

Welp, time to jump back on the DD-500 train.

Also because they go cheaper used than the Nemesis.

Edit: But at the cost of oscillation...

[rfurtkamp]

I has other things that can oscillate away like mad!

You can definitely make it oscillate. Just put your mind to it.

[resincum]

yeah just crank the feedback

motherfucker can oscillate in different ways.

Boss made the DD-500 way too complex (complicated for some) and it seems that was a big mistake lol

Any progress in Boss DD-500 patches to approximate grouchy glitches/jacked-up judders/stutter-stitchery/pitch-potch-punditry?

Can the DD-500 be configured to have a rising/lowering frequency-shifted delay like the gamelan bells of the Catalinbread Bicycle delay?

Possible? Imposs?

[rfurtkamp]

From what I can tell of the editor (I have the same one, it's used on the other Boss stuff I have and the assigns are typical Roland, but I don't have a DD-500) - if it's a setting with a choice or a number, you can automate it to all sorts of internal LFO/BPM sweeeps.
