Which "various" features are you talking about? The parameters listed in the modulation matrix?
That should be an easy to set up thing...
In case you wanted to use the Edirol as some sort of hardware "programmer" (so the knobs of the EXS move along with your fader
movements) it'll become more tricky.
Guess, before we continue, we should clear this.

The Edirol comes with a nice setup program, allowing you to patch any fader to any MIDI parameter.
The EXS allows a lot of MIDI parameters to work as modulators.
So, you can for example set one fader to send out CC 16 data and then set one of  the EXS's modulation slots to use this as a source
CC to control, say, the amount of cutoff. Note: In that case you won't see the cutoff knob move! But, for anything playing-based
this would be irrelevant anyways.
"True" moving knobs would only be of interest if you planned to do new EXS patches (as the altered knob positions could be saved
with a patch, whereas the modulator settings will be sort of reset, each time you load a patch).

So, in the end I think it's more of an EXS but an Edirol issue...

I did this about a year ago.....There was a guy in this Teddybut?  I  
think who sent me a logic control for the PCR 30.  It worked pretty  
well.

Teddy are you out there?   I'm trying to find everything you would need.

Julie,

I have a PCR-80. I don't suppose you could send me this Logic control 
could you? Excuse my ignorance but what does it do exactly? Assign 
certain controls to particular knobs and sliders for Logic's VI's? What 
about 3rd party VI's?

Thanks
Andris

Hi Andris,
I haven't used my edirol for over a year....I'm trying to find the  
stuff.  Yes...it assigns the controls to the knobs and sliders.  It  
had it's problems...but it also worked.
