OK brainstorming a little here,
The X and Y range is only 6 bits (64) so that is the reason why I am
opting to use a push up, down configuration.
How about this?
Both X and Y will be able to be assigned to almost any MIDI
controller. And they will also be able to be assigned to program
change, parameter select and parameter value.
There will be two options in that mode. The first mode will allow
program change to be assigned to X or Y and any other MIDI controller
to the other axis. When you press the program/parameter button and go
into parameter edit mode the program change joystick axis will switch
to changing the selected parameter. Pressing bank hold will do what it
normally does (by holding the keypad to the least significant digit)
but will also change the joystick axis to change the actual parameter
value (up/down). So you would use the one axis to do program, selected
parameter and parameter value changes.
The second mode will assign one of the axis to program selection and
the other axis to a MIDI controller. But when you press the
program/parameter button the program axis becomes the parameter
selection axis and the other axis affects the parameter value.
So you can use say the X axis to scroll through the parameters and use
the Y axis to modify the actual value of the parameter.
I am going to do assignable MIDI controllers first of all since they
are going to be much easier to implement than the adjustment of
program/parameters and parameter values. I need to look at the
parameter editing code to see if this is even feasible.
Mike.
