Re: [AN1x] knobs of effects

Correct. In the Ctrl Matrix you can set the VarEF D:W parameter to 
the physical controller or CC message number of your choice. 
This allows you to dynamically adjust the dry/wet setting of the 
Variation Effect.

In addition to the sixteen Ctrl Matrix sets you also have Common 
Set 1 and 2 parameters shared by each Scene in a Voice. This 
allows you to set Volume, Pan, Delay Return, Reverb Return or 
the Variation Parameter to the physical controller or CC 
message number of your choice. Unfortunately you are limited to 
two of the three FX related parameters using the Commn Sets, 
i.e., you can't control the Dly Rtn, Rev Rtn AND Vari parms 
simultaneosuly.

As much as enjoy and appreciate the flexibility fo the Control 
Matrix I find myself frustrated more often with this type of design 
limitation. Another example: as I was working on my Electronic 
Organ Voices I had assigned PEG Decay and PEG Depth to 
values of 5 and 20 respectively to produce a key click at note on. I 
thought it would be interesting to assign the PEG Depth 
parameter to Knob 3 via the Ctrl Matrix so the amount of ey click 
could be variable. I wanted to limit the Depth range to a value of 
32 to restrict the amount of change to a series of values that 
would be realistically found on an organ as opposed to a synth. 
Unfortunately the Ctrl Matrix permits the PEG Depth value to be 
set only to Direct. While this clearly is not a show stopper, IMO it 
defeats the point of having a scalable value to begin with! 

regards,

Jon
