NRPN controllers

Quadra emulates one of the quirkiest, rarest, and most curiosity-inspiring vintage synthesizers of all time, the 1978 ARP Quadra.

3 buttons on the Quadra actually do this, Poly Wave, VCO 1 Wave and VCO 2 Wave, they scroll through a list and I have no way of fixing this regardless of toggle or on/off commands.

Wow, this looks amazing! Do you plan on 3D-printing a case for that?

Not sure how its going to end up, at the moment its a standalone unit which I might build a nice case for a get a front panel printed or professionally made.

But I also have the crazy idea of adding a PC and a MIDI keyboard into the case to make my own Quadra. I've just ordered a HD HDMI touch screen to go along with this project, who knows.

Working on the note inputs to set the ranges of each section and recall them with each preset. Basically my editor is in charge and doesn't rely on the patches of the VST or you can configure it not to be in charge and just edit the VST patches.

So I decided to turn it into a synthesizer after all. I always wanted a Quadra, soon I will have one of sorts.
