Has anyone here purchased this editor (or made a donation)? I'm curious whether it is useful. I would like to study the parameters of many of the presets for the Minilogue, and it looks like this will show what those actual settings are.

Minilogue Edit by Julien Eres?
Moderators: Sharp, X-Trade, Pepperpotty, karmathanever
Here's the partial lowdown, good, bad and ugly:
You DO get a graphic representation of your patches, great for learning what makes those presets tick. And the library is better than the Korg Sound Librarian, if it works right for you (see below). You can edit the preset names and more. If you want to control your synth with virtual knobs on your computer, this is cool. You can also edit the motion values in the sequencer.
The author was very attentive to my problems, in a little discussion group on Google. My problem is that I could not get the preset library to load any of the presets onto the main screen, no how and no way. I was unsuccessful with a second computer also. This along with my Minilogue's inability to communicate through MIDI connections, as opposed to the USB, leads me to think that there is something wrong with my synth. Damn! This might explain a few other glitches I posted about here.
The author had never seen anyone else with these problems, and since it's all free anyway, I say give it a try. I'll still use it, but I can only pick presets to load through the Minilogue's Program/Value knob.
So: this is a great bit of work, and I'll bet it will function for you where it did not for me. If you like it, give the guy a donation so he can keep improving it.

Good news: I've got it all working now. There was a bad USB cable, along with my own ignorance of MIDI and its settings. Windows users will also need to install some drivers, linked to by the author.
Once set up correctly, you can load a preset either from the Minilogue, or from the preset library. After that, parameters can be changed either from the synth, or with your mouse, and numerical entry is also possible. Lots of fun to tweak a knob and see the virtual representation change on the monitor in real time. I found that the knob behavior needed to be set to scale, because the jump setting was annoying.
There are a few things that need some more work, like giving you a portamento setting up front, and I did not explore the sequence editing at all.
My advice: try it, then buy it! (donate) How often does someone make something so specialized with limited appeal, then essentially give it to you free?

Hi there, has anyone successfully downloaded this minilogue editor by Julien Eres? I cannot find a download link on the website. I have donated $10, and have only received a key. Also I registered on the google groups but membership is pending. There is no contact info on the website, and any email address ***@julieneres.com that I try returns rejected. So kind of running out of options here 
:). Thanks, Sjoerd
