Re: [korgpolyex] Controller setup: Is there an easy way?

2015-12-11 by Michael Hawkins

The CC# is a bit misleading. But I honestly haven't been able to work out a better name for that column. But no, they are not direct CC numbers. They are used for setting the parameter number when using the three different methods that are detailed in the owners manual. Again, I understand this is not necessarily an easy thing to get your head around.
As others have pointed out, you really need to get a handle on your controller and figure out how to send NRPN's.
But do have a look at the MIDI implementation chart again and you will see that you can control VCF cut off, VCF resonance and a few other of the really useful controls with direct CC messages.

    Thanks for the reply.
Maybe I should have been more clear. After printing out and using the Parameter Quick Reference sheets, I'd assumed (dangerous, I know) that by just assigning the corresponding CC# of the parameter I want to edit to a knob on the controller, that was all it would take. For example, the chart shows CC#24 for filter cutoff, so I thought that assigning knob 1 to CC#24 was all I needed to do. Evidently that is not the case.
Please excuse my ignorance in this area... I've never really used or set up a controller before.
But let's go back to the filter cutoff for a second here. What would need to be done then to set up a knob on a controller to handle cutoff? The manual says, in the MIDI CC Non Registered Parameter Number Method section, to "Send CC#99 with data value matching Global Parameter 16... Then send CC#98 with data value set to desired target parameter... Then send CC#6 with data value set to desired target value." The controller I have only allows one CC# to be assigned to any one particular knob or slider, so I don't see how this could work. Am I overlooking something glaringly obvious here?
Thanks for the help.  #yiv0549937926 #yiv0549937926 -- #yiv0549937926ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}#yiv0549937926 #yiv0549937926ygrp-mkp hr
