3rd party developers

Ben Walker · Post by **Ben Walker** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 5:26 am

I've decided to revamp the third party developers section on my site as it was getting quite unmanageable - far too big to read easily and more and more difficult to maintain.
So, I've created a seperate page for each third party developer.

I'd be very grateful if developers would check that they are happy with the pages that I've created for them - are all your modules listed correctly, do links work OK, etc? I've tried to test everything, but it's easy to miss something.

I'm also very happy to receive suggestions if people want to change what I've written about them or their modules. You can use these pages to promote yourselves as you like so just pm or email me if you want anything changed.

The pages are located as follows:
www.modularsynth.co.uk --> Modules --> Version 2 and 3 3rd party modules

BTW Did you know that there are already more than 160 3rd party modules available? And that's without Flexor II!.

Nice idea - i seem to be missing a few of those. However, sadly, a lot of the links are broken - any chance of finding the free devices somewhere else?

Ah, I'd forgotten that with the upgrade of the PZ forums, the old style links are seen as invalid by the PZ server and you get this 'hacking attempt' message.
I'll try and fix all the links by tomorrow, and then you can let me know if you find any other dead ones.
In the meantime, you can get to the link by reformatting in your browser like this - if the original link looks like this:
http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... forum=15&1
you can just retype it like this:
http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=6224
or even:

That works, although sadly when you click on the "File" for a lot of the j9k devices it takes you to a register page. Oh well. Not your problem i know.

I've fixed all the old-style PlanetZ links on these pages, so that should sort a lot of the problems out. I see what you mean about the j9k files on PlanetZ as they point to j9ksys.com which is no longer active.

I'll see if I can contact jud and ask if he'll allow me to host all the j9k modules on my page. Watch this space....

let me know if any of the other links give you problems....

And I downloaded everything I could get from your links....

thanks...

its good to have one centralized place where all links are available.

This is a bad side of Planetz. There is only a section for devices.

If there would be sub-sections for mod modules, effects, synths and so on.... it would be much easier to find devices in the Z nirvanas...

great work, Ben !

Thanks a lot for that.

yes, good work!
John could concider a stickie thread with the link, as it's a perfect replenishment of Planetz as a forum with the inherent restrictions of organizing stuff

Thanks a lot Ben !!

The new 3rd party layout works much better than when they were all on one page.

cheers!

OK, I've either uploaded or fixed links to almost all of the j9k devices on the j9k page on my site.

However, I'm still missing the one called 'ken value' - does anyone have a copy of that one which they could send me?

Thanks,
Ben

I just love j9k's stuff. Bi-Polar Matrix is way cool, and the KZ8 is a stroke of genius for STS, or SFP made drums and bass, very hip indeed.

Thanks Ben, How's The Baby Doing BTW,

As Luka Brazzi from Godfather I said.....................Godfather,I am honored to be here on the day of your daughters wedding, may your daughter have a Masculine child.

Hi Ben, did you get that ken value module of J9k's?

Yes, thanks to both Roy and Mr Arkadin for sending the file. It's now available for download from the j9k section of my site.

I think that's all the 3rd party modules listed, and I think they're all still available to download, except for the Mod 1 modules that Guy Eastwood produced. I still have these, btw, but doubt if anyone's desperate for them.

Let me know if I've missed any modules, or if you spot any mistakes.
