No, it's not. My guess is that it simply takes the number of all available EXS instruments, divides that by 128, and takes the resulting number as the "step size". So if you had some 12800 (128 x 100) instruments, each parameter increment (+1) would step to the current program + 100 >>Despite the fact that the trick is somewhat surprising, I wonder how >>useful it really is in practice -- except that it gives you a way to >>scroll through the EXS instruments without having to have an EXS >>instance open to receive the dedicated key commands. > >HB: Agreed, but it makes browsing within a family of sounds more easy. >And you have a clear label in arrange with the loaded instrument name... Yes, true... And it's curious to notice thgat you can reach parameters that normally aren't present in the flip menu. I'm still wondering how useful that is though... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
