These programmers are early versions of our MIDI Programmers, so they are no longer in production.

Roland

AJ programmer AJ programmer AJ programmer AJ programmer AJ programmer The MSP-AJ programmer supports the Roland Alpha Juno line (Juno-1, Juno-2, MKS-50). All Tone parameters have dedicated sliders and switches. Slider length correlates to parameter resolution, so low resolution parameters (like Noise and Sub with just 4 values) use 20mm sliders, while higher resolution parameters use 60mm sliders (or knobs). Mixed LED color versions assign green sliders to signal path, orange (yellow) sliders to modulation, and red sliders to envelope.

Yamaha

4OPtbcr programmer The MSP-4OP programmer is optimized for the DX11 and TX81z, but also supports the 2nd and 3rd generation 4 operator lines (DX21, DX27, DX100, B200, WT11, DS55, TQ5, YS100, YS200, V50). While many parameters have dedicated sliders and switches, operator parameters use select switches to edit one or more operators and DX11 specific parameters on the right panel have a switch to toggle between single and performance parameters.
