Fsdsp56k: write, audition and render your own MDS kernels (F#, free software)

Elektron Gear Machinedrum

Hi all,

I’ve been working on fsdsp56k, F# tooling for the DSP56300 that runs the Machinedrum MDS on X.20 / MDX. It allows you to audition and render your kernels on an emulated DSP before you send them to the machine.

  • Website and playground: smoothdeveloper.github.io lets you open an .mds or a SysEx bank and play it in the browser.
  • Source: github.com/smoothdeveloper is open source under AGPL-3.0.
  • Command line: build, run, audition, render, and stress-test the cycle budget per block.

Huge thanks to @v-yadli & @JustinValer for MDX and MDS, which made all of this possible, and to the kernel authors whose work it builds on.

It’s still a prototype, so feedback and kernels to try are very welcome.

:pray:
