Re: Questions regarding using the VFX and/or the SD1 as a controller

2004-04-20 by gottamakethings

Rich, I don't know about anyone else, but I have never been able to 
figure out how send a a bank change from a VFX. I don't think it will 
record one either. Now most synth's will hang on the same bank if you 
don't do a bank change, so an alternative may be to put all your 
favorite patches in one bank and stay in that bank.

I use a seperate MIDI control surface called the Kenton Control Freak 
to dial in bank changes outside of the VFX. It's about $250 bucks, 
but it will do just about any MIDI thing you want to do and gives you 
lots of knobs to twist the night away with...
