Re: [elektron] Joystick for the SFX60

2005-01-12 by Scott Kellogg

The pads on the MK are pretty cool for use with the SFX-60.  I've got 
one scene where I've mapped various BeatBox MIDI notes, so that's fun to 
bang out beats with.  I plan to make a scene where the pads are mapped 
to MnM pattern changes, but I haven't had time yet.

The faders and rotary encoders are useful, too.  I've got faders 1-6 
mapped to Vol, and the encoders (which are endless) to Filter Width.  
Faders 7 and 8 are not mapped yet, because I haven't though of anything 
useful to map them to.  Come to think of it, I could probably map all 
the of the faders and encoders to something more interesting than Vol 
and Filt.  Any suggestions?
