What the heck is a contoller "set" anyway

What the heck is a contoller "set" anyway

2001-01-20 by David

Hi all:

The manual talks about selecting the controller "set" (1-16) when
setting up controllers for a voice on the An1x. I don't get it - are
there only sixteen sets of assignments (it does seem enough, I
admit). Does this mean that once I select the set, all the controller
assigments are loaded into the voice. Or is it something altogether
different?

Thanks,

Hi David,
A "Set" refers to a source + parameter combination - along with the
associated depth value. I found the wording in the manual difficult to
absorb at first but here what it all boils down to:

Select any voice and turn the select knob to the VOICE/SCENE SETUP
menu; use the rocker button underneath Set No. to choose a Set from
among 1-16, PB up, PB down, Commn 1 or Commn 2; now use the rocker
button underneath Param to choose the parameter you wish to alter; now
use the rocker button underneath Source to choose from amongst the
physical real time controllers on the AN1x - or - assign a MIDI CC
number that will affect the change when received from the MIDI In port
(that's a really cool option but confusing to use if your new to MIDI -
stick to the AN1x physical controllers for now...); then use the rocker
button underneath Depth to select how much change you wish to make from
the preprogrammed value of the Param you're going to change. If you
want the change to cover the entire 0-127 value range set Depth to
Direct. Baiscally, this overides the preprogrammed value in the
selected Voice. If you want to simply increase or decrease the amount
from the programmed value, i.e., use the controller as an offset, you
can choose from between -64 to +63 for the depth amount.

While were on the subject, there are two more things to remember - 1)
there are sixteen sets per scene so an AN1x Voice with two scenes can
have 32(!) real time control assignments. Very cool. 2) the Wet/Dry mix
for the Vairation effect can be set independently for each scene. This
is a nice touch, IMO.

HTH.

regards,
Jon

At last I understand. I had thought there were sixteen groups of
controller settings possible for the whole board, not sixteen
assignments per voice. Thanks so much, Jon.
