Re: [xl7] Re: Using Access Virus and XL-7

2004-04-23 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

While there is no official standard, many companies are now using the same 
#'s for common parameters.  True the XX-7 has no equivelant of OSC 
Balance, but Access still could have made things like Filter Cutoff and 
Resonance conform to the norm (hmm, that would be a good song title...). I 
actually spent some time talking to Access about this awhile back, and the 
general concensus was that it would be nice to do (and in hindsight should 
have been done), but would involve making the older Virus's incompatible 
then.

Oh well, at least the XX-7's programmable knobs are SO easy to program and 
save.  Multisetups truly are one of the greatest things about the the XX-7 
if you use it to control other gear.

Well, there isn't really much of a standard (aside from 7=volume, 
10=pan, etc), it's pretty much up to the individual manufacturer. 
This makes sense, since (apart from General MIDI, ugh) different 
synths frequently work in different ways. For instance, the XL7 has 
no equivalent to the Oscillator Balance on the Virus.
