For any experiencing difficulty opening the new Editor after installing, please review this post:

I was having error issues...after installing the new Waverform Editor...upon trying to open the Editor.

After numerous attempts to uninstall and reinstall, I emailed John with the error message, and he immediately emailed back this response:

“...Yes this is a very fresh program with all latest technologies :-)

Best regards,
John Melas”

Since I am running XP, I installed the referenced file, and that resolved the issue.

For Win 8.1 64 Bit -
On starting it comes up with an error message box – saying the computer doesn’t have api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll installed.
Googled that and downloaded from the MS website.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226

I’m running XP SP3, and I installed the Visual Studio 2015 redistributable. The Waveform Editor is running as a demo.

I found what appear to be some bugs. If the USR tab is selected, and an SF2 file with too many Waveforms and Key Banks for USR memory is attempted to be imported, it results in an error message…
1) “Not all waveforms could be imported from [filename] Bank USR is full!”
That’s not surprising. However, clicking “OK” then results in…
2) “Motif Waveform Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close. [...]”

I also tried importing the same SF2 file with the FL1 tab selected, and the file initially loaded without a problem. However, subsequent attempts have resulted in message 2.

Hopefully John Melas will see this and resolve these issues.

I am very interested in this software but...have no interest on giving information to paypal.
¿Is there another way to get it?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to ask John Melas if there are alternative payment options available…

Slightly off topic:

Paypal is safer to use than your own credit card for online purchases. After a few identity theft situations due to online purchases, I changed to using Paypal only. That way only Paypal has my credit card number not every single merchant I deal with.

I actually opened a Paypal credit card account which lets me avoid giving them any bank information but still be “verified”. I always use this card for online purchases when Paypal is not supported and my main credit card is never exposed online.

I have had no further identity thefts since I made this change a few years ago.

I haven´t say paypal is not safe. I just prefer not to buy with intermediaries. Specially when the conditions of paypal don´t fit to europeans.

I am from Spain.

Theres other lot of reason too (just browse “european paypal")

I have written John (thanks for the email adress 5pinDin).

NO answer.
So...no purchase!

Hi,

John is pretty good about responding to questions, just give him time. Maybe try sending the email again.

Also, the waveform editor (and other Melas tools) are great and worth purchasing. John makes these programs himself and they go far beyond the editors that Yamaha makes or any other keyboard company for that matter. We’re fortunate as Motif series users to have these resources.

Hope so benj00…

I´ve send another email again…

I know what you say, I have test the demo of waveform editor.
I can´t imagine the lot of o time I would save…

That´s why I want to purchase it.
But without itermediaries.

Is it so difficult to understand? Hope not.

Let´s see!!

Hi again!

Received response of John to my email.

Now I have an alternative way of purchasing the waveform editor.
In process…

Thanks all in forum!
Thanks John!
