programmable knobs

2005-06-01 by malik

hi there.
when you set the programmable knobs in the controler menu for external 
controlling i know that you can only set controll for 16 knobs but is 
there  a way like say, switching presets that i can have a totaly new 
set of controllers. or is my only way of getting around this through 
multisetups?

Re: programmable knobs

cool just got one of my midi books back from my brother so i can 
learn how to use bank messages(after all these years i finaly have a 
reason to) but i wont be able to try till i get back home. didnt pay 
the internet bill this month.....

thanks

Re: programmable knobs

Its rather simple. You don't need a midi manual. You send two 
numbers to determine the bank [Bank Select MSB and Bank Select LSB] 
followed by a program change. Bank Select controls are CCs.  (Look 
in the Appendix to your manual.Bank Select MSB is CC#0; Bank Select 
LSB is CC#32.

BUT: 

The folks at E-Mu made it easy for you. You can set it up on ONE 
PAGE in the E-Mu event editor.

1. Go to the event editor, insert a prog event.
2. That's it!!!

m = msb = most significant byte = E-Mu ROM ID
l = lsb = least significant byte = E-Mu ROM Bank
prog = program change = E-Mu Patch Number.

msb/ROM ID can be gotten by pressing audition.

To switch multisetups, use msb = 80, lsb = 0. (Its in the manual 
under Restoring multisetups.)

Hope this helps.

Re: programmable knobs

Good question.  I don't recall if you miss a beat.  Most likely you 
will have some noticeable change if you switch a multi during 
playback. Multis include preset data on all channels, so, you will 
be change those. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have your current multisetup stored, so you 
can restore it.

If you are not careful, or you don't know what you are doing when 
you switch multisetups you could have unhappy results.  For example, 
if you switch to a multi that doesn't receive midi, you won't be 
able to do anything after that change.  Also, if you change from a 
multi that that sends clock to a multi that doesn't send clock, your 
outgoing clock will no longer be sent.

POSSIBLE ALTERNATE ROUTE: I haven't tried this, but just try 
changing the controller assignments via sysex parameter editing. See 
Master MIDI Parameters in the sysex manual).

Re: programmable knobs

2005-06-02 by steve_the_composer

I just did a simple test. You can set up your controllers (MidiA, 
MidiB, MidiC, etc.) in a single sysex chain and embed them in a pattern

See the sysex manual for the details of Parameter Edit/Request if you 
don't already know how to do that.

Here's the test string I used:

F0 18 0F 00 55 01 02 07 03 19 00 08 03 19 00 09 03 19 
00 0A 03 19 00 0B 03 19 00 F7 

Parameter 07 03 is MIDI_A_CONTROL.
I set that to 19 00 [controller 25 in decimal).
I also did the same for MIDI_B_CONTROL (08 03) --> MIDI_E_CONTROL (0B 
03).

Using SOnar I placed the sysex bank at measure 1 beat 1 and another 
sysex bank to change MidiA --> MidiE to Coontroller 16 (decimal) at 
measure 1 beat 3. I then saved the "song" as a *.mid file (format 0, I 
think), and loaded it into the P2500 with e-loader.

Since the CC 25 sysex was at tick 0, when I loaded the "song" and when 
I reset it by pressing stop twice, MidiA --> MidiE changed to CC 25. 
At beat 3, they changed to CC 16 and stayed there.

I didn't test it with note data, but my guess is that the sysex 
strings are so short, they will not cause a glitch during playback 
with note data.

I will upload the test sequence.  If you try it, save your multi first-
-or at leaste write down your controller settings so you can change it 
back.

steve i have takena look at this and have been trying to figure out a 
way to do it over the past week or so. even openbed a bok with a 
small section on sysex but i couldnt figure it out. and i diidnt 
understand what the emu sysex manual was trying to tell me. is there  
a website orsomething that can explain it to a complete idiot? :)

Re: programmable knobs

There are websites that cover sysex. There is one that I stumbled on 
that I thought was pretty good in terms of explaining it to novices. I 
will have to look to see if I still have the links.

At the present, I do not have the time to write up my own explanation. 
However, I know sysex has been discussed here, in the P2K group, and 
in the P2500 group.  You might want to search the archives for "sysex."

Do you have a computer hooked up to your E-Mu? If so, do you have 
sequencer software that can send and receive sysex?

Finally, did you save your current mutisetup and then try the file I 
created--crtl-syx0.mid? If so, did it successfully change your 
controllers as I decribed?

Sysex tutorials/info/websites

2005-06-21 by steve_the_composer

The following site might be helpful. It has a simple navigation 
frame. Click on system exclusive. I think the explanations on this 
site are really geared toward novices, but impart real understanding.

http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm

If you can handle charts as an explanatory mechanism, the following 
site may be helpful:

http://www.hinton.demon.co.uk/midi/midicode.html#msex

Good luck.

i think i'm finaly getting it.

i have a trigger button set to channel 14b on the mp-7  and i want 
to use that button to send a message to midiox's translation map.

so i have the trnslation map open and im defining a mapping. 
input channel 14 the mesage type is note on. note is E4 so i'm 
assumming that that's not 41 so i have the min and max note number 
to 41. i have velocity set to -1 on min and max wich in midiox means 
any.

i set output channel to 1 since im not exactly sure what channel to 
put it to yet but that's no big concern for me right now.
i know this is a sysex message but the book tells me to "select 
c00=80, cc32=00,(dec) then send a Program Change command 
corresponding to the multisetup you wish to select"

sould i set the event type to sysex or program change?

PS. your original question: bank selects and program changes are NOT
sysex.  Bank select is a controller message and program change is a
program change message.

Two controller messages and a program change.

B0 00 50
B0 20 00
C0 XX

where XX is the number of the multisetup you want to select in hex.

Your MIDI program might handle bank select as part of its logical
program change mechanism, in which case, you'd just enter the 80,00,XX
parts (MSB,LSB,PC).

That said, if you're trying this stuff, I'd recommend some reading up
on MIDI.  This site is so-so, but it's probably most comprehensive:

programmable knobs

2007-05-10 by sp808hack

Could someone please go into a little bit of detail about how to set up 
the programmable knobs. Heres a list of things I want to do with the. 

-Adjust the ADSR parameters of the prestets
-control the effect parameters i.e feedback, var ect
-note ranges, this would be really cool! If any one hasnt thought of 
this yet imagine the possibilities i.e &(*&king with basslines.

I know it has something to do with assigning each knob to the midi 
addresses of the parameter you want to control, but the manual dosent 
go into much detail about this. Thanks to you, who ever you will be.

Re: programmable knobs

2007-05-10 by scodoha04

Page 144 of the manual. 
ADSR is default to knobs 5 through 8 already.
Your other "wants" I don't think are possible at least directly from
the box. Variation of beats or LFO have no modulation destination;
sysex has a place for it though as well as changing the highs and lows
of keyboard preset assignments. You're looking at learning sysex. The
manual for that is in the files section.

What I tend to do is slip into pattern mode at the point I want to 
repeat. It does this smoothly and you can then tweak the pattern, mute 
unmute parts and so on.

Tips for preventing patch cockups

2007-05-18 by Paul Nagle

I wonder if anyone can help? I asked this on the Proteus 2000 forum but 
they suggested the expertise was over here.

I always have problems with my P25K and patches, the confusion between 
patches used for patterns, songs and multis. Ideally I'd love a way to 
tell it to never loads patches for songs or patterns but I don't see a 
way for that.

I tend to use 32 channels - 16 for internal song and pattern stuff, 16 
for use with an external sequencer (Sequentix P3). So all I want is to 
load a multi that contains the 32 channels I'll need for my combined 
song using both sequencers. Trouble is I frequently make a mistake, load 
either a song, pattern or multi in the wrong order or save in the wrong 
order and end up with my multi pointing to the wrong patches. My 
problems are compounded by the fact that the P25K defaults to saving at 
the last position it saved to, not the last location loaded from but I 
guess that's just the way it is... :(

How does anyone else deal with this?

Also, I can change multis using remote bank select but this only seems 
to respond to MIDI channel 1, which is weird. Perhaps because there is 
no "multi control" channel that I can see. I keep almost giving up on 
the P25K sequencer but it's so damn useful that I stick with it. I've 
read the manual and it seems to imply that songs/patterns only load 
patches for which tracks are assigned - but I don't find this to be 
true, unless I'm doing something wrong? Iuse 1-16A for the internal 
sequencer, 1-16B for external.

Any tips gratefully received,

Paul

Re: Tips for preventing patch cockups

2007-05-24 by gonzinigonz

Can you not insert a patch change message in the seq on each channel 
or globally from one track to setup all your patches for the seq?
I always used to insert a bar for this purpose at the start of a 
track so all the correct patches get called up.
Obviously you will have to keep the correct patches saved to the same 
memory locations for this to work.
I guess this is what you mean?!

programmable knobs

2007-10-31 by sp808hack

I've been through this in the forums and in the manual over and over 
and still can figure out how to assign the fx parameters to the 
programmable knobs. I just want to be able to play the fx real time 
without having to go into those bullshit menus and use the bullshit jog 
wheel.

Re: programmable knobs

I sense a bit of frustration and want to offer an alternative route to 
achieve effects. Most people using the P2K synth engine think only of 
FXA and FXB as effects. However, if you think of the synth engine 
itself, all kinds of realtime effects can be created using the 4 x 4 
knobs. Admittedly it takes a bit of programming.

I seem to recall discussions here about Wah-Wah effects, Fret-slide 
effects, etc.

So far as I can recall, assigning the 4 x 4 knobs to FXA/FXB 
parameters cannot be done. (Its been a while, but I may be wrong.)

Cheers man, thats a different way of thinking about it. I'll give it a go. If anyone else has a way of adjusting the A and B effects processors with the knobs though that'd be awsome. PS you were correct about the frustration.

FX patchcords are in the PRESET CORDS section, not the LAYER CORDS page.  Simply hit the cords button twice.


That said, I believe that only works if you're in preset FX mode, not master FX mode.  Remember that the XL-7 is inferior to other synths in this manner � you only have 4 busses to choose from and you can't choose the send amount per channel/preset.  Put another way, the sends are always 100% to the bus, and the each of the 4 busses has a wet/dry mix.  To use this sort of setup, you have to create four different FX "amounts", then choose per channel which of those four amounts you want.

Cheers man, thats a different way of thinking about it. I'll give it a
 go. If anyone else has a way of adjusting the A and B effects
 processors with the knobs though that'd be awsome. PS you were correct about the
 frustration.

I sense a bit of frustration and want to offer an alternative route to
 achieve effects. Most people using the P2K synth engine think only of
 FXA and FXB as effects. However, if you think of the synth engine
 itself, all kinds of realtime effects can be created using the 4 x 4 knobs.
