Real Time Control of the ASR-X The
following is my response to a post on the ASR-X
Mailing List regarding Real Time Control of the
ASR-X with a Yamaha AN1x. >
I'm about ready to finally set up my AN1x to
control the X via CCs. Aside from the obvious
Filter Cutoff and Resonance controllers, anyone
have any suggestions about what other parameters
might be cool to mess with via the AN1x's knobs and
its very cool ribbon controller? I've
set up the Assign Knobs on my AN1x as follows
(notice that the MIDI CC values on the AN1x are not
identical to the equivalent ASR-X reception value;
this reflects the difference between Yamaha and
Ensoniq's implementation of the MIDI
spec): Knob
1 = 073: AEG Atk (this controls the Amplitude Env
Generator Attack level on the ASR-X) Knob
2 = 076: ------- (this controls the Amplitude Env
Generator Decay level on the ASR-X) Knob
3 = 072: AEG Rel (this controls the Amplitude Env
Generator Release level on the ASR-X) Knob
4 = 011: Express (this controls the Expression
Controller on the ASR-X) Knob
5 = 074: VCF Cut (this controls the Filter Cutoff
on the ASR-X) Knob
6 = 077: ------- (this controls the Filter
Resonance on the ASR-X) Knob
7 = 075: AEG Dcy (this controls the Normal LFO Rate
on the ASR-X) Knob
8 = 091: RevSend (this controls the FX Bus Select
on the ASR-X) Note
that Knob 7 (as configured above) does not produce
an audible effect by itself - in most cases this
value interacts with the Mod Wheel value
transmitted to the ASR-X. Sometimes
I alter the settings of Knobs 7 & 8 to 010 and
070, respectively, to control Pan and Patch Select.
I'd much rather assign 071 to a foot switch but
I've not yet picked up an extra pedal. Other times,
I assign RBNX to 074: VCF Cut and RBNZ to 077:
------- (for Filter Resonance). I've also taken a
liking to assigning MW to 091: RevSend rather than
an Assign Knob. I'll
probably settle on using Knobs 7 & 8 for
SysCTRL1-4 and assign some unused MIDI CC values to
control the effects. Remember that the effects real
time control can EASILY be set-up to respond to
Velocity, +-MIDKey#'s, Pressure, Pitch & Mod
Wheel, etc. (see pg. 45 of the Reference Manual) so
you don't necessarily have to use one of the four
SysCTRL parms! |
