i got inspired to try this after reading last weeks thread. got pro52 nicely controlled but it won't work with waldorf's attack. anyone tried this?... also... cc numbers on the mp7 won't go further than 96 or something... why don't they go to 126/127? peter.

Values 120..127 aren't controller numbers in that sense; they're various kinds of mode changes. -- nick rothwell -- composition, systems, performance -- http://www.cassiel.com upcoming gig at cybersonica, london, june 5th -- http://www.cybersonica.org

You can have each knob do something different. Use programmable mode for the knobs. Each Knob have its own MIDI channel and controller number. You can save your knob layout within a Multi Setup (global, third page). This allows you to have 63 custom knob layouts. sean at e-mu / ensoniq

Rather they CAN be used as control changes, however usually the hardware manufacturer uses them for things like effects block on/off or program change, bank change etc.

thanx sean... as usual my question was probably not clear enough... i meant changing the knob values in the same pattern/multi-setup for every track/channel... so ; pattrn 001, multi-setup 001, tr 1 (ch1) => knob1 value 74, tr2 (ch2) => knob 1 value 67 hope this is a bit more clear... will probably be impossible to implement in a new OS (just like my idea to have something similar to TR808's "Intro/Fill In" system) --- In xl7@y..., "Sean Wilhelmsen" <seanw@e...> wrote: > > > on another note... wouldn't it be great to have the possibility to > > assign knobs differently for different midichannels? for instance > > midich 1=> knobs control pro52, midich 2=> knobs control ppgwave, > > etc... > > You can have each knob do something different.

I suspect that practically every module out there responds to local control on/off and omni/mono/poly changes as per the standard, rather than allowing them as data controllers. -- nick rothwell -- composition, systems, performance -- http://www.cassiel.com upcoming gig at cybersonica, london, june 5th -- http://www.cybersonica.org

For hardware. I'm saying that you can assign these to various software packages which don't usually care about such messages, many soft syns, sequencers etc. I've had tons of gear that behave differently for each kind of message. My Alesis Quadraverb 2 used these messages to switch effects blocks on and off, or to bypass or whatnot.
