Re: [xl7] Re: PK-6 Question

2008-06-03 by John Larkin

Actually, I did try retuning each patch to fit the keyboard.  However, using "pitch" or "tuning" controls has the effect of distorting the natural timbres of the instruments.  
I think the idea of using a footswitch to trigger a global transpose would be perfect.  Is there a way to link a contoller to an item on the "Global" menu?  In other words, I don't know how (if it's possible) to address the global menu via MIDI commands.  Any thoughts?     

 
                                                  
The gene pool could use a little chlorine...

I had a brain freeze and saw PK-6 as PX-7 (which would belong on this
forum) How about using a patchcord from a controller (slammed left or
right) or footswitch to pitch?
