Norand MONO MK2 Editor
Midi Quest for Macintosh and Windows
Sound Quest's Midi Quest multi-instrument editor/librarian gives you
the tools to get the most from your Norand MONO MK2. Midi Quest
includes all of the standard features you would expect to find in a
MONO MK2 Editor along with unique capabilities found
nowhere else.
The Norand MONO MK2 doen't have an accessible SysEx
implementation so all communication and editing of the instrument is
handled with CC or NRPN messages. This limits the options that Midi
Quest can provide compared to other instruments, however, Midi Quest
takes full advantage of the patch parameters available to it.
Integrate the MONO MK2 with your DAW and use it the same way as a
soft-synth or run the editor as a separate application connected to
your MONO MK2. You can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition,
archive and manage your MONO MK2 from the focal point of your
studio. Midi Quest Pro offers the widest selection of editor/librarian
plug-in technologies: AU, VST3, VST2, AAX, and MFX.
Below is a small sampling of Midi Quest features.
