controlling MFX in performance mode
14 Jul 2006, 11:23Hi everybody.
Something's bugging me, and I can't figure it out by trying or reading the manual (which I don't get regarding this point).
It has to do with real time control of the MFX in a performance.
Let me explain the situation.
I have an external Studiologic masterkeyboard attached to my Fantom-S. I want to set up a performance in the FS with a piano sound played through the masterkeyboard and a Hammond sound (internal FS sound) played on the FS-keyboard.
A little restriction: the master keyboard only sends data on MIDI channel 1, so I have to set the piano part (part 2 in my performance) to RxCh=1. So, I set part 1 (the Hammond sound) on RxCh=2, because I don't want a layered pno/organ sound when I play my Studiologic. So far, so good.
Now, I want to be able to control the speed of the inserted rotary effect from an assignable knob. But I somehow don't manage to get this working.
Applying modulation from pushing the wheel results in speeding up the rotary effect. But this costs one hand, so I want to assign the speed change to an assignable rotary knob.
In the effects menu, I set the MFX2-control to modulation (because modulation applied by the wheel works out). No result: when turning the knob, the speed doesn't change. What does happens is modulation on the piano sound (!) (= part 2, set on MIDI RxCh=1), but that's not what I want...
I went through numerous menu's: MIDI-filter, the control assigning menus and the effects control menu (within the effects section) and everything seems to be logically set. But eventually, it doesn't work out.
Using these control settings has to do with MIDI cc numbers and I don't want to pretend to understand this completely (otherwise, I'd probably fix the problem in no-time). So perhaps my lack of understanding of this subject is the root of the problem.
Anyway, who can guide me to the solution?
Thanks very much!
