Re: [xl7] Re: Randomize/Humanize velocity, LFOs -> External gear?

2007-01-06 by Bob S.

See page 172 of the manual (I am using the PX7 manual) for random sources for patch cords....there is key random 1 & 2 (static while key is depressed), filtered white & pink noise sources (dynamic) & crossfade random that will generate the same random value for all 4 layers.....

  As far as I know, the patch-cords, LFOs and envelopes are strictly
  internal, and won't send any data over MIDI. There's no way to route
  any of them to the MIDI outs at all.

  (although it would be a damn useful feature to have, especially if it
  could be added to the patch-cord modulation destinations as the MIDI
  A-P controllers)
