quote : in case of the Flexor ValueSmoother they seem to interprete the positional difference in relation to time and this works very well.

I'd understand the need if you couldn't operate a Scope device smoothly, but that isn't the case as far as my listening tells me.

So ...

cool.
I guess users would have to lobby the company and or provide finance for development and production.

however they do have an SDK for scope, surely this would allow for some I/O options. I guess there aren;t many Firewire based controller boards or generic data controller boards so the actual board itself may be difficult unless creamware decided to make their own (like NI KORE ), I am sure it would ...

great to hear some quality responces and research. At least we can confirm that in some instances midi conllers will produce a step type effect and that given the quality of the onboard hardware and software there is atleast fair argument for an upgrade to the associated hardware ( contoller boards ...

Is there any current reference to the resolution problem associated with the use of midi controller boards for use with the modular III system?
( aka 128 values per the 16 controller knobs contrasted with the 500 values on say the NI KORE system :

Although USB controler boards are most common, I woudl like to see straight USB without conversion to midi. I want to eraze the entire midi aspect of the "external analoug interface" and make is USB only. Many of the interfaces within the modular III have atleast 1 decimal place if not more, midi ...

Thanks for the reply.

I may have mis written what I really meant. With the midi controller values you can ahve 128 different variables ( up or down ) so for 100% you would be sending the value 128 from your midi controller. This measn that on larger scale projects there may be less accurate ...

I am wondering why Midi is used for the controller boards rather than USB or Firewire.

Perhaps there is a chance that someone can program a plug-in or app that can route USB controller board data to the fader etc within scope? Seeing it can be done with midi data then the framework allready exists ...
