EDISYN U-20 And U-220 Editor - By Sean Luke
FREE !!! EDISYN from developer Sean Luke is a synthesizer editor that gives you control over the U‑20 and U‑220 (and more than 60 other synths) via custom made MIDI editing synthesizer templates. It also has unlimited levels of undo, CC and NRPN mapping, real‑time updates, test notes and chords and some MPE support. Sean has also built in a range of creative tools to help with patch generation. These include randomization, patch merging and blending of random patches, pushing patches closer towards other patches (very interesting), morphing interpolation between four patches and more

This free web browser utility reads SysEx files from 100+ synths and samplers. It will display The Op Code, identify the synth or sampler make and model and suggest a MIDI channel to use when loading. It's a handy utility to verify unknown SysEx files and/or enable "broken" SysEx files to load by using the correct MIDI channel. The cool thing is that you don't need to install any software. It's all done using Safari, Firefox, Chrome or whichever web browser you use. It's a new approach. Any O/S on any computer can run this utility. Works with every browser except Internet Explorer (Not really an issue for most people. In fact, I'll call it a "feature")

SN‑U110 PCM Sound Chart Inserts
Some ripoff doofus on eBay is selling reproduction prints of the SN‑U110 Sound Charts at $10 per card. Forget that shit! Roland Corp Japan has them posted online in the Support section and you can download them for free. I have compiled high-resolution scans of the original fifteen Sound Charts in one handy PDF file here File Format: PDF Document |

I've compiled a small cross reference chart which is useful for matching duplicate spare parts on Roland synths and samplers. I use this list to find spares on broken equipment bargains found at eBay auctions. I just bought an S‑220 for $25 which has enough spare parts for 19 different Roland synths and samplers. Gotta love eBay

U‑20 Control Jack Templates
I designed these templates after being frustrated time and time again by having to move my keyboards away from the wall to locate where certain audio and control jacks are located. This makes it easier to plug cables in and out without having to always face the back of the synth... or use a mirror. There are four template variations with different fonts and color schemes
