This video series is awesome! Is there a video that covers the display, what each section does, and navigating within it?

[@legosteveb]

Thx! Video #7 is an overview... th-cam.com/video/fI52Bsf2RsQ/w-d-xo.html

All these videos are so great. One complaint, you can't hear the output. Your voice is fine. What you are producing and changing is unhearable.

[@ConductiveLabs]

Sorry about that, we wanted to keep the setup simple and focus on the content, but we should have the synths connected to a mixer to make it easier to hear them.

I'm not entirely clear on the difference between the orange and blue modifiers. Could somebody please clarify this for me?

[@DarrylMcGee]

In the example he's mapping from 0-127 to 0-11, so the blue line doesn't change, but let's say you want the pitch to map from 0-127 to 11-22. Set the end of the blue line to 11 and the orange line ends at 22. This will essentially funnel the pitch values to 11-22.

Maybe it’s because I’m a software developer who has done a lot of infrastructure to make all kinds of stuff play nice together at scale, but it blows my mind that (1) every synth / drum machine has MIDI, (2) none of them let you modify the CCs they transmit on, and (3) there are zero industry-standard solutions to map CCs. Because we’re literally just talking about modular-esque patching of MIDI controls. Nobody wants that? There should be 10 ways to do that, and while I’m complaining, everything should do it in 14-bit. It’s easy in software. I can write a Python script for any of this, and it’s not even slightly complicated until I start working with obscure SysEx stuff or integrating it with random HID devices. I just wanna pipe one thing into another thing without using a PC or having to throw together my own R.Pi solution.
I have a TR-6S triggering an MBase11, and the only reason it works at all is because triggering a kick with a C1 note is apparently pretty standard. But the velocity of the note doesn’t change when I close the fader on the TR-6S. So… I guess I need to map the TR-6S kick fader (CC 24) to the MBase11 volume (CC 117). And there are zero simple ways to do that. My Eventide H9 can actually map CCs, but the geniuses who made that decided it would only support CCs up to 99. I could get a BomeBox, but that’s basically just a R.Pi, and I’d still need to get a license for the software. And the only better solution is this thing which is $439 and about the size of a 2U rackmount unit. And it’s awesome, but I’d almost rather just use an old phone and a MIDI interface.
