Nord Stage 4 AI Program Maker

[Tony Fuzz]

Hello all,

I've been playing with midi CC and NS4 and manage to make a small app to create NS4 Programs, here is the link : https://nord-stage-4-ai-program-maker-6 ... 1.run.app/

Basically you enter a prompt or create one using AI then it will send a sequence of midi CC to your NS4 to create the patch from scratch on the current program you're on.

So you just have to plug your NS4 via MIDI usb and try it !

I'll will update it frequently, for now sample based user requests will be kinda hard to do for the AI because it doesn't know the current samples loaded in your keyboard, i'm trying to find a solution. Also it does not seem to work on firefox. I advise asking for Analog Synth/Organs

The AI prompt was based on the MIDI CC documentation i've made in another post :


Enjoy !

Very nice concept! And even cooler that it will immediately send it to your device.

That's really a very cool "toy" - awesome work!

Thanks a lot guys, i've just updated it. Give me feedback

Hey Did anyone (@Tony?) tried it out and did an video about it. Would love to see, how this works!

btw: why does it work? Are all synth parameters in the NS4 cc controlable?

Thanks!

Hello Schulti,

It all works based on what i've found in the user manual and thanks the app named 'MidiView'. Basically you can see any MIDI CC messages sent from your NS4 when pressing a button into the computer. So as you can see in the excel file above, my documentation is much more detailled. So yes almost all parameters works, but i still need to work on synth/piano samples based requests because the MIDI mapping depends on the order and number of samples loaded, it also depends on the number of different synth samples categories loaded in your NS4.

It works particularly well for me because i've put the exact mapping for all my samples(if you look at the excel file) but not for you.. yet..

Per example, if you don't have any accordion loaded in your NS4, the midi CC to select the next category which is 'bass' will be different. So first i advise loading at least 1 sample per categories.

I'll try to find a better solution because i've see that you can extract your NS4 samples loaded into a pdf file in the Nord sound manager software. So i might add a PDF input in the app for the AI to adapt depending on your samples.

I've added a 'REFINE' functionnality to ask the AI to change the program on the go if it doesn't please you and 'MIDI LEARN' functionnality where you can change the parameter of your generated program from your Nord directly and it will update on screen. Or create a patch from scratch and then tell the AI to make it whatever you want. The MIDI LEARN does not have the possibility the capture a program you've already created and selected in your NS4, you must create it from scratch with the app open after pressing the INIT button.

Hello all,

I've updated the UI, give it a try

Cheers,

Looks soooo interesting!

I don't have a NS4 yet. Would it be possible to have a short demonstration video? I think that would be very helpful for many readers of this post
