Re: [korgpolyex] Implementing MIDI controllers for all parameters

2008-06-03 by Daniel Forró

There's also possibility not to use neighboring values but divide 128  
values by concrete number of steps for each parameter, like this:

0/1: 			0= 0-63, 1=64-127
0-7: 		0=0-15, 1=16-31, 2=32-47 ... ... 7=112-127
0-15:  		0=0-7, 1=8-15 ... ... 15=120-127
0-31:		0=0-3, 1=4-7 ... ... 31=124-127

Small problem can be with odd values. For example 0-2: 0=0-42,  
1=43-84, 2=85-127

This would be very comfortable and intuitive for physical control  
from rotary pots or sliders.
