It may be a silly question, but after toying around
with more
recent gear &
knowing how to control that -
coming back to the S-330 & S-550 I can't seem to find how to let them
respond to MIDI-CC.
As it seems they're not really responding to many MIDI-CC numbers
but it all
has to be done by System Exclusive, right ?
Is there for instance no simpler way on these machines to say
control the
VCF(TVF)-cutoff etc in real-time ?
This is soooo long ago...
I seem to remember that on the S-330 filter cutoff can be controlled
with MIDI aftertouch. It isn't mentioned in the manual I have, but
the patch parameter A.T. assign can be set to Cut-off. This option
perhaps wasn't available in older OS versions.
As far as I remember real-time modulating parameters via Sysex was
possible too. Even the sample loop points could be controlled this
way. But it's cumbersome: since the Roland samplers have no edit
buffer you always have to include the parameter adresses of the patch/
tone you're currently playing. Also, sometimes controlling parameters
via Sysex only has an audible effect when the sampler is in a certain
mode (patch edit or tone edit, I forget).
Thanks for bringing back old memories :-)
