MUSE: Waiting for a proper editor...

Hi everyone,

I do miss the ability to control the Muse remotely like I can do with other synths and I’m hopeful that we will get a proper patch editor with full MIDI control functionality eventually.

In particular, I’ve been struggling making up the mapping between the various values in the default patch set, because there’s no way to read the stored values without changing them, so I tried to study the actual files to come up with some understanding of how these patches were made.

The Muse does have some pretty comprehensive (even if somewhat limited) MIDI control with most the on panel knobs sending and receiving MIDI messages, so I came up with a small script to map the values in the default patch set with MIDI values that would do the same thing, so that I could use this as a way to automate some of the values globally (for example to set a -1 tune reference).

I thought this could be useful for others so here’s the link to the “normalised” patch list:

For anyone wanting to check the project is here https://github.com/neugens/MusePatchReader/tree/main it’s not that fancy however, just a script to read the settings and convert them to regular MIDI.
