ZoomExplorer and https://sym.bios.is now has experimental support for converting MS-70CDR patches to MS-70CDR+.
If you find a patch for which the conversion fails or the converted patch doesn't sound like the original, feel free to post the patch or a link here, and I'll have a look to see if it's possible to improve the conversion. I advise you to read through the text below before you post a patch, since there are some known missing effects and parameters.
The conversion has been mostly tested and fine-tuned for the patches in my "Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit for MicroFreak and MS-70CDR" soundbank, and work very well for these patches.
I have gone through each of the 137 MS-70CDR effects and found the matching MS-70CDR+ effect to the best of my abilities. The two pedals and the effects are different, so in some cases it's not possible to convert a patch perfectly.
I found matches for most of the MS-70CDR effects on the MS-70CDR+. The most notably exceptions are:
- CarbonDly, M-Filter, and fCycle on the MS-70CDR have no matching or similar effect on the MS-70CDR+
- Ba Pitch, MonoPitch and PitchSHFT can be somewhat approximated by PolyShift
- HD Reverb on the MS-70CDR can be somewhat approximated by HD Hall on the MS-70CDR+
- M Comp on the MS-70CDR can be somewhat approximated by RackComp on the MS-70CDR+
The following effects on the MS-70CDR can be mapped to an MS-70CDR+ effect, but the corresponding MS-70CDR+ effect has some missing parameters:
MS-70CDR | MS-70CDR+ | Missing parameter
----------+------------+------------------
160 Comp | 160Comp | Gain
A-Filter | A-Filter | Level
Ba Cry | BassCry | Level
Ba PEQ | BassPEQ | Freq2, Gain2, Q2
Ba Pitch | PolyShift | Fine
BendCho | BendCho | Level
Bomber | Bomber | Level, Power, PTTRN
Cry | CryFilter | Level
Delay | Delay | P-P
DualComp | DualComp | Tone
fCycle | LFOFLTR | Level
HD Reverb | HDHall | Level
MojoRolle | SwellVibe | Mode
MonoPitch | PolyShift | Fine
NoiseGate | NoiseGate | Level
ParaEQ | ParaEQ | Freq2, Gain2, Q2
PitchSHFT | PolyShift | Fine
ReverseRv | ReverseRev | Level
RndmFLTR | RndmFLTR | Chara, Range, Reso
SeqFLTR | SeqFLTR | Level, Shape
Step | StepFLTR | Level
StompDly | StompDly | Sync
VinFLNGR | VinFLNGR | Level
ZNR | ZNR | Level
Some of the matching parameters have different ranges on the MS-70CDR and the MS-70CDR+. I have attempted to match these parameters as best I can - mostly just as a straight linear interpolation.
Some of the effects respond (slightly or significantly) differently to the parameter values on the MS-70CDR+ compared to the corresponding effect on the MS-70CDR. I have attempted to match the parameter mapping by ear, but I'm sure this could be adjusted better for more of the parameters.
