Introduction

Thank you for choosing the reKon audio™ VST-AU MKS-80 Editor™. The VST-AU MKS-80
Editor™ is a real-time MIDI synth editor that allows you full control of every parameter of the
sound on the Roland MKS-80™ synthesizer. Now you can utilize your MKS-80 to its full
potential and build lasting and meaningful patches that will bring new life to your music. You can
manage, view and edit all your patches on the computer itself without the hassle of manual
dumps. All parameters are fully automatable and you can even use your favorite VST or AU
host, or use it stand-alone, giving you the ability to visually program the MKS-80 to your music
via the host sequencer. This ability to model your synth patches in realtime, inside your main
music production environment is part of what makes the VST-AU MKS-80 Editor™ unique when
compared to other hardware synth editors. You may also use the standalone application if you
do not need to work inside the host or if your host is not supported.

Advanced Patch Librarian

The VST-AU MKS-80 Editor™ includes an advanced Patch Manager view that allows you to
rename patches, and even drag and drop patches from one slot to another. Now you can
