RE: [xl7] softsynths a fad?

The main problem with using the XX-7 as a controller (and I do it all the 
time), is that as soon as you change VSTi's or even patches on the VSTi's, 
the knobs no longer reflect what the current settings are on the new VSTi 
(patch).  So before you can tweak anything, you need to reset all of the 
physical knobs so that they match the knob positions on screen each time 
you change presets.  It's not Emu's fault, this is something that all 
controllers currently have to deal with.  Thus why I said you almost need 
a seperate control suface for each VSTi.

The XX7 is really cool hardware controller i have a lot of fun with 
console 
+ vstis, console let you map directly any cc to any controllable soft 
synth 
parameter, so if you want to set up the controls at your softsynth like 
the 
knobs at the XX7 you didnt even have to look at the softsynth manual, 
console does mapping the way you want to... once you linked your set of 
instruments and fx like you want to have it there is the possibility to 
store over-all presets, containing all the vst, vsti and mixer settings, 
so 
you didnt have to close your set and open a new one to keep playing a 
different preset-set.
