Re: demystifying the quantized modulation...

2008-10-17 by baumont987

I found the differences between these messages. It's only about how to
activate/desactivate the quantize:

- action=06h "toggle" simply toggles the actual quantize. If it's ON,
it will go OFF and vice-versa.
- action=05h is set quantize ON or set OFF. Is that simple :)

My question was more about what it does to the *sound*. I tried many
settings (just a VC0, and set quantize to a mod source for VC0 freq,
VCF freq and so on). I do not hear any difference between quantize ON
or OFF).

This was my question because I'm currently developping a real-time
control/programming software for the XPander. My program do send the
right SysEx message, but I wondered there where no differences in the
sound itself.

I looked into my SysEx presets and I did not found any preset with a
quantize modulation. strange.

Looks like this option is never used or does nothing at all (?)
