Hi.

I'm new owner of 01 and learning basics of this machine now. Does anyone have experience about editing this with some hardware knobbox using SYSEX strings?
I have Bitstream 3X controller which i want to use.. .

I found out that there is few editors for this, Sound Quest, Sound Diver, BitEdit1_2 and BitControl.

In BitControls userguide it was said:

"BitControl transmits patch parameters in a
somewhat unusual fashion. The Bit has a
relatively simple MIDI implementation, and
understands only messages containing entire
programs; it does not provide MIDI messages
for altering one single parameter. Therefore,
each time you edit a parameter, BitControl
transmits the entire program to the Bit,
followed by a program change.
Because of this system, each time you make a
change to a patch, any playing notes are
stopped, even if you are holding down a key.
You cannot, for instance, hold down a note and
sweep the filter, and hear the changes in real
time."


Is this the absolute truth? So there is no hope to control it directly? And even if i would get it working from Bitstream3X it would still have same nature with pauses after every knob turn or slider move?

Another question -how would you feed notes when editing Bit01 with that VST plugin?
I use BUZZ as main sequencer and added pattern + track for that VST editor also, then added some notes but had no results..
