Re: Editing upper and lower layers

I think I've found a work around, using the min and max settings in the MIDI section allows me to assign 1 CC to control the switching of multiple buttons in radio groups such as the Osc1 footage 1-16' which required 5 CC messages, but its possible to squeeze them onto 1 CC message with values betwe...

Editing upper and lower layers

I'm building an Elka-X editor and I've hit a serious snag, I can switch between layers (upper and lower) with upper being the default layer, editing works perfectly, but I want to edit the lower layer and I assumed by sending a messages to select the lower synth, the pot/button would work with the s...

Re: NRPN controllers

Wow, this looks amazing! Do you plan on 3D-printing a case for that? Not sure how its going to end up, at the moment its a standalone unit which I might build a nice case for a get a front panel printed or professionally made.

Re: NRPN controllers

3 buttons on the Quadra actually do this, Poly Wave, VCO 1 Wave and VCO 2 Wave, they scroll through a list and I have no way of fixing this regardless of toggle or on/off commands.
