First a general rule: ONLY connect inputs to outputs. Think of an input as a receiver, and output as a transmitter. Never connect a microphone to an output -- the mic "transmits" sound to the equipment, so it goes to an...

All I want right now is something Roland can deliver without changing a bit of firmware or hardware: A PC-based editor for the AX-Edge. By far its weakest point.

I assume you've seen page 18 of the parameter guide.... Hey, a new thought -- are the effects you want to control on the basic MIDI channel or a subsequent channel? I know that I have been able to modify effects using lo...

To clarify: are you saying that you can change voice parameters with MIDI CCs, but not effects parameters? If you would, give us an explicit example of an effects parameter you want to change.

It looks like the basic "Bend Range" parameter can be drilled down to via the AX-Edge buttons without resorting to the editor. Check out the Owner's manual, page 16, "Editing a program." (I am not sure of this, as I do n...

Okay, so let's back up a step or two. Since I don't know you, please don't be offended if the questions appear condescending. I'm really just trying to establish common context for the discussion. Are you aware that ther...

It can be done at either the "part" level or the "tone" level. Part-level pitch bend adjustment is simpler: for each active part, go to Pitch -> Bend Range and set it at 12. See Parameter Guide page 9. Alternatively, you...

Welcome aboard, Robin! I've learned a few things since I posted that query. If you checked the forum, you know that there's not a lot of traffic, let alone information. Let's see what we can do to fix that. DIsclaimer: I...

I've had some time to work a lot with the AX Edge recently, so I figured I'd start a thread with useful things I've learned. Hopefully, other Edge Programmers (are you out there?) can contribute as well. First off: the A...

1. When I use the pitch wheel on the DX-7, only Part 1 of any program actually pitch bends. Parts 2-4 don't bend at all, even though the MIDI RX page is set to receive pitch bend on all parts. 2. Same issue with the modu...
