Re: VZ SysEx Format

2014-01-31 by steve_the_composer

I was under the impression that mapping parameters was primarily useful for gear that had a bunch of parameters that could be edited on the fly.

So far as I know (though I could be wrong), the VZ synth engine doesn't have a whole lot--except for the usual CCs.

Does anyone have a VZ sysex manual showing control of individual parameters?
