change preset with a knob?

change preset with a knob?

2005-01-03 by joesapo

Wow, been a while since I posted here.  I just got a new Korg Kaoss
Pad 2 and dusted off the command station for some fun.

Anyways...

Question for the XX-7 experts out there...

I have all my master FX settings turned off and reassigned to whatever
preset is on channel 16B.  I have some special presets that I made
with patchcords set up to control the FX thru CCs on those presets. 
Then I assigned a couple of programmable knobs to control just those
CCs on channel 16b.

In other words, I have a separate preset for whatever FX I plan on
using with whatever pattern.  All I have to do is have a MultiB track
with some null track data on channel 16 to make sure the 16B preset
changes when I change patterns.  I have all sorts of FX presets set
up...  (Reverb/Distortion, Gate/Delay, etc.)  This lets me taylor FX
to each pattern with a preset AND tweak them in realtime.  (as i'm
sure most of you know...)

What I WANT to do is this:  Assign a programmable knob (or track or
whatever - something live and tweakable...) to change the preset on
the 16B channel to one of my FX presets.  What this would let me do is
switch my FX presets in the middle of a pattern.  So when I wanted to
try for example some distortion on send3 or some synced delay
on send3 (both FXb) I could just flip da switch.

Follow?

Only thing I can possibly think of involves MIDI program changes... 
but that's where I lose it.  Sorry.

Otherwise, anything new in the XX-7 world I should know about?  How
about where all the ROMs went...
