Hey Mike, 

that's amazing that you added that support so quickly. Nice one! :)

The scaling thing will be useful too. I noticed by experimentation that the values are scaled over the full 127 value range meaning that to control say 5 values you have to go up in steps. Being able to enable and disable this will be handy.

Also is it possible the docs and software already got out of step in places. for example I notice this in the documentation:

P2 41 – VCF 1st LFO waveform selector

1-8 –

1=triangle
2=inverted triangle
3=sawtooth
4=inverted sawtooth
5=sine wave
6=inverted sine wave
7=square PWM wave
8=inverted square PWM wave
9=random sample and hold from selected LFO
10=random sample and hold from sequencer clock or MIDI clock

11=random sample and hold from sequencer loop/repeat point

Selects the LFO waveform that will be used to modulate the VCF. 


But when I tried it from the front panel and NRPN / CC message I see it goes up to 13. I'm not sure what 12 and 13 do, maybe new features added since the docs were created?

I hope to be fitting my atoma-hawk quite soon now, as I think I'm all up and running successfully with HAWK800. Good work on bringing out new features so readily!

Even without the atoma-hawk, getting some modulations going on the VFC etc are already bringing new life into the synth. I like the sound if it.

For those of you that want SYX patch parameter control. Attached is version 2.6.3 of the HAWK software.

The documentation will take a week or so to update to include a couple of new features.

First, global parameter 47 allows MIDI CC messages and SYX message ID F to use absolute values instead of scaled ones.

The default value is 0 which means that scaled parameter data values are used. That is, the MIDI data value will range from 0 through to 127 regardless of the value of the parameter itself.

When the value is set to 1 the data value used for the parameter data will be the actual value in the MIDI data. MIDI data values above the maximum value for the parameter will be treated as being the maximum value for the parameter.

Second, a system exclusive message ID 0xF has been added. The message format is:

F0 42 21 0F XX YY F7

Where XX is the running patch parameter number and YY is the data value for that parameter.

I shall get this into the documentation soon.

/Mike

Groovy. The NRPN approach does seem to be working, I'll make a template based on this approach. Thanks.
