hi.
i have a k3 and a midiman oxygen 8. i want to be able to control the patch 
parameters on the k3 through the oxygen 8. i.e. turn a nob and have the cutoff go up 
and down. seems pretty basic but all i can get to happen is basic note and pitch bend 
action. what are the parameter numbers that the k3 receives the different settings? i 
tried "10" for cutoff (to match the number you press when parameter edit is on on the 
k3)

is that possible with just a midi connection or do i need some software to be 
involved?

thanks in advance.

So I've had the K3 for about 4 years but haven't really used it as much as I want to. I 
think that *sounds* really good but it is not really playable outside of the straight 
forward keyboard playing. I love a synth where most aspects of the sounds are 
maleable while playing it. I wanted to add the controller to get that depth.

Any suggestions? I mean besides buying a MS20? 


I don't see the pdf.

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?

patch is directly accessable with the data/increment wheel, without having to select 
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.
