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 ?

Thanks Ingo for the reply, much appreciated. And especially so since you bring info to the table that's not even in the manual ;-) I mean, I was wondering if the info could be somewhere in the cryptic manual (would still have been a task to find it ;-), but I hadn't even considered the possibility of more recent functionality added to the OS that's covered by the manual. (I've also checked the online S-550 manual-pdf, same story, not mentioned) BTW, main reason I wanted to dust off the old S-330/550 machines are their multistage envelope generators. While a suited softsynth would most likely be the most convenient approach, I was curious how starting from simple waveforms they could realize a Virtual Analog kind of box with more capable envelope generators than my other hardware. But then it's of course desirable that it's easily controlled... I'll check my controller-capabilities on the sysex-area. Since it's of course desrable to be able to control more than just the TVF-cutoff, however useful that already is by means of AT. Thanks again !
