Joystick

Hi PS,
If you are refering to the "joystick" in D50 mode, it's there for decoration.....There are no functions programmed for it. Maybe if we ask Roland it could be included in an OS update.
Cheers,

thank you for that answer, Canada.
I was affraid that it was decoration, but was not shure.
Thank you again.

I'm going to bring this back to the top again. With regards to the D-50, what was the joystick for? Various incarnations of 4 partials mixed together?

If that is the case, how would you adjust the joystick on the XT? I realize you can't do it on the screen. Does the keyboard version of the V-synth adjust the joystick using the time trip pad?

I would imagine if there is a place to program any paremeters into the xt joy stick wise, it would be for the purpose of using a pitch/mod wheel or joy stick on a midi keyboard... anything that can be assigned to the time trip on the x-y axis on the time trip pad should be assignable to the the joystick and vice versa as well considering the one on the kb version moves up, down, left and right (pretty much another x-y axis)... hope that helps.

Hi guys

On the V-synth you do indeed use the Trip pad to adjust the joystick on the D50 module not sure how you would normally access that feature on the XT but its worth having a look to see if it works as it normally would in Vsynth mode which I beleive you can do on the screen of the XT ?

best of luck with it

The XT does not have the Triptime pad screen available while in the VC-1. This is why in the manual it states that the joystick is not functional on the XT.

Now my next question. How to program the Fantom X into the trip time pad for the D-50 to verify it can at least be used. I would hope so. It seems it was one of the best aspects of the D-50.
