true but i am one who thinks that filter cutoff (and the Virus has two to
worry about) and resonance should be a standard controller number for
everyone. my Roland stuff and the XL-7 seem to match up pretty good on
controllers. the Virus is the odd one out.

if it's just three parameters to control it might be easier to take M@'s
suggestion and just program the matrix mod on the Virus to reroute the
"standard" controllers on the XL-7 (and the Rolands) to the same parameter
on the Virus. ah, the fun and excitement of it all.

at some point all of this techno wizardry might produce something musically
worthwhile. getting there...
