hi i have only a nord lead 2 and scope card and i was wondering if i could use my nord lead to serve as a midi controller using its knobs and keys to control scope synths? or do i need to buy a special midi controller? Also i have a behringer bcf2000 with motorized faders that i use to control my cubase mixer can i use it to control scope mixer? thanks

yep, I have a Nord Rack 2 as well and actually it works very well as a midi controller for synths, cause you can just route controls like ADSR to their direct counterparts in the software synth you're controlling, eliminating to some extend the problem of remembering which knob does what when using a generic midi controller.

Actually, with the current low second hand prices of Nord Rack's you could say the represent better value as a controller than some actual midi controllers

(since it's also a very good synth in itself)

No problem to control CW via CC-sending synth. I have used my old beloved Korg Z1 before and now I use my Virus KC...but there seems to be problem to save the CC. I have not found any new info here: http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... r&start=20

I assign some CC-param to CW-synths, saves the CC in midi-controller-space.
I assign and also set to the same level as the sound has from the start, meaning that it sound the same as before assign the CC.
Save preset and also the file...
Unload the plug and reload it, the sound is good, then manually load the preset-CC I made and the sound is changed like it does not save the value of the params.
Have anyone noticed this before, or do I miss something?
