MiniDexedLibrarian
This project's target is to produce a librarian/editor for MiniDexed - 8x Dexed on bare metal Raspberry Pi.
As a side-effect, it can also be used as a librarian for Yamaha DX7/TX816.
MiniDexed Control Center
The project binaries will be distributed under the name MiniDexed Control Center
Working:
- open/combine/save DX7 SysEx bulk dumps (Voice banks)
- open/edit/save MiniDexed performance.ini files
- open/edit/save MiniDexed minidexed.ini configuration files
- sending voice bulk dumps (banks) to Dexed (not to MiniDexed)
- sending single voices
- save/open current state on closing/opening the app
- organize SysEx and performance files on MiniDexed SD Card
- store collections to SQL-DB (eliminating duplicates etc.)
- import DX7II supplement (ACED/AMEM) and performances (PMEM)
ToDo:
- send SysEx bulk dumps to MiniDexed (Feature missing in MiniDexed)
- edit DX7 voices (Not a priority. There are a lot of DX7-Editors on the net)
- conversion of various 4OP voice files to DX7 format (Low priority. Alternative: DXconvert from http://dxconvert.martintarenskeen.nl/ )

Dependencies
Windows 64 - SQLite3 (dll included in download)
Linux Qt5 - Libc6, sqlite3, portmidi, libQt5Pas
Linux GTK2 - Libc6, sqlite3, portmidi
FreeBSD - Libc6, sqlite3, portmidi, Qt5Pas and optional alsa_seq_server to access MIDI ports.
Compiling
Developed by using Lazarus/Freepascal.
External components needed to build the MiniDexed Control Center are available through Lazarus OPM (Online Package Manager):
- ATShapeLine
- EyeCandyControls
- HashLib4Pascal
- IndustrialStuff
Linux notes
libQt5pas distributed with Ubuntu and derivates is know to cause problems.
Please use the builds from David Bannon: https://github.com/davidbannon/libqt5pas/releases
For Linux on 64-bit PC, you'll need libqt5pas1_2.11-1_amd64.deb
Windows notes
On Windows, the PortMidi library is not used. I did't found any working 64-bit version of portmidi.dll on the internet. It means, MIDI on Windows is accessed through native Windows' MultiMedia System (MMSYSTEM).
