are you using some kind of controller that is set to one of the above cc numbers?
Hi djmicron,- great stuff !!!
I´d run into probs w/ these controller numbers too, so I´ll report here how I work w/ B2003 and Kurzweil PC361 in Scope 5.1 and on XITE-1:
Vibrato lower on/off - MIDI CC #30
Vibrato upper on/off - MIDI CC #31
Chorus Vibrato knob (C 1-3 and V 1-3) - Mod Wheel
Percussion on/off - MIDI CC #
85
Perc. norm/soft - MIDI CC #86
Perc. fast/slow - MIDI CC #87
Perc 2nd/3rd harmonic - MIDI CC #88
Rotary fast/slow - MIDI CC #29 (default SwitchMIDI 29 above Mod Wheel in KURZ PC3)
Rotary on/off - MIDI CC #89
Drive on/off - MIDI CC #90
So, all these controllers are assigned to the MIDI Prg-Switch buttons available in a Kurz PC3 instrument, except the Mod Wheel and MIDI 29 switch.
The Ribbon Zone 1 assigned to AUX BEND MIDI CC #21 controls the "Generator Tune" in B2003
KURZ PC3 sliders have a standard assigment of MIDI CCs # 6 / 13 / 22 / 23 / 24 / 25 / 26 / 27 / 28 ...
controling B2003 drawbars of upper manual.
Question,- and because MIDI CC #83 (see above Minimax) and MIDI CC#84 (B2003) are already in use as "Control H general purpose" and "Portamento Control" in standard MIDI controllers:
Would it be possible to change the "surface open/close" switch numbers for the Minimax, B2003, Profit-5 and upcoming stuff into the MIDI CC range above #90 - #127 ?
MIDI CCs #92 / 94 / 95
MIDI CCs # 102-108
MIDI CCs #110-119
are all undefined in the MIDI spec and normally not used for other general purposes in any of the MIDI controllers out there.
So, it would be ideal to use these, especially if you create more modded devices for Modular,- and my short list above shows 20 controllers usable to switch surfaces which will probably never clash w/ other already used controller numbers.
just a idea
thx for your input and the devices !
best
