Hello Steve,

You got my point exactly. The potential to male 'midi' patches to 
modulate other gear would have been brilliant- tempo synced random 
lfo's, velocity switched envelope sweeps etc. I imagine the strain on 
the processor would have been too much for practical implementation.

There must be some workarounds using third party devices. The clever 
folks at Midi Solutions have designed a box to process midi. It is 
like a tiny hardware version of Midiox programmed via sysex and 
powered via the midiline.

This box can do every midi msg manipulation imaginable! For instance 
i'm sure it could remap arpegiator notes to midi controllers in real 
time allowing us to harness the power of the arp at least.

Incidentally I intend to buy one to simply remap the  quick 
programming knobs A-P to CC's of my choice for ease of recording into 
patterns. This overcomes the gaps in the controller destinations 
allowed.

I also have a Peavey PC1600x. This fader box contains 2 CV > midi 
convertors so I am wondering if I routed a bright, loud patch via sub 
outs into one of these, if I could capture the fancy note retriggers. 

I really love this machine (MP-7)!

Mike
