Re: controling k3 with midi controler

2004-02-11 by brian_ackley

yes, obviously there is the wheel but that is hardly flexible seeing as it is locked to 
one parameter during performance and it is not very responsive. the velocity and 
pressure controls are a joke because you really have to pound on the keys to get any 
kind of change.

so can anyone tell me how to make the k3 work with a controller?

the parameter, so you can just set that to the filter. Also, the velocity and pressure 
control options allow you to do some pretty nice things with the filter and oscillator 
balance, so that you can get some nice real time effects.
