Preset editing in real time

2004-01-12 by gutman75

Hi all,

In continuation to my first post, I re-checked yesterday, and found 
it to be true: changing the filter frequency (not with a knob, but 
via the Freq parameter in Preset Edit mod) does not affect currently 
playing notes. Moreover, changing modulation amount on a patch cord 
works the same way; I have to play a new note to hear the change.
Apparently, the synth engine reads all preset parameters only at note-
on. This is somewhat disappointing, as it's really fun to hold a 
sustained note (possibly with a footswitch, keeping hands free) and 
tweak various parameters. To me, it was really unexpected that an 
instrument built with realtime control in mind should have this 
limitation. Well, guess you can't have everything :-)

If I'm missing something, please enlighten me!
have a nice day,
Boris.
