RE: [elektron] Re: external controll of MM?

I have to agree with Joseph, being annoyed by your refusal to accept any
advice give to you.

It is obvious that assigning one parameter to left and one to bottom will
allow you to control two different parameters with different curves using
the one controller.

The joystick is a two axis controller, that is why you can control two
different parameters. Moving it left to right affects one parameter, moving
it up and down affects another...you can not compare this to a knob which
only goes left to right.

A knob is a single axis controller, that is why you would need two knobs to
control two different parameters with different curves.

In terms of your car analogy, you could replace the steering wheel,
accelerator and brake with a single joystick...left to right on the joystick
would equate to the steering wheel...centre to up on the joystick would
replace the accelerator...centre to down on the joystick would replace the
brake. This would give you all three normal single axis controllers on the
single two axis joystick controller. You can control each parameter with a
different curve...moving left to right on the joystick does not affect the
up/down position, until you actually move it up or down.

You seem to be unable to understand the difference between a single axis
knob, and a two axis joystick.

It is your stupidity ze2be that is causing the annoyance...maybe you should
go back to school and learn your maths over again!

Its simple fellas, do your math if you wish! If my language was english,
I would easily clear 
this out for you. But let me try: Either way, if you apply different
amount of effect on each 
controller, they will still follow the same curve, as you only use one
master controller, 
namly the joustick! Tataa!! Was that difficult to understand?

If you have seperate knobs, they can go seperate paterns. Think musical,
not robot 
paterns!! Try driving the car moving the stearing wheel, the speed
pedal, and the brakes in 
the eksact same tempo! Id say you need a driving licence ;-)
