Peavey MIDI control of Emax and Emax II

Peavey MIDI control of Emax and Emax II

2003-10-30 by Chris Strellis

I am now able to control the majority of filter, amplifier, LFO and 
velocity parameters from my faders.  
That's 32 faders!  (I have to switch between two presets on the 
Peavey).

I even have buttons to switch chorus on and off and to solo.

What hasn't seemed to work is in getting buttons to assign the right 
wheel to pitch/filter/trem etc

With an external sequencer driving the Emax I SE I can update 
controls in real-time but there is a  
delay in the parameter update and the sequence falters quite badly.  
This I put down to the under 
powered and overworked CPU in the Emax I.  This doesn't happen so 
badly with the Emax II 
suggesting that the more powerful CPU in that is coping a bit 
better.  Ultimately, the MIDI baud rate is 
a limitation with a lot of sysex information being transmitted by the 
Peavey.

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the result.  If people want 
more information on how to do it then 
I'll be happy to help although my previous post on this subject 
should be enough to get you going.

Right...now to play with Wavemax and see if that works under STEEM, 
the Atari emulator for the PC.

Cheers

Chris
