realtime-controller assignment
Realtime control-
In one of the chapters we handled before, we learned about the activation of the realtime-controllers for
ler assignment
every keyboard-zone.. In this chapter we will learn about the MIDI-controllers and the parameters of those
realtime-controllers. One thing has to be remembered. The conected expander can only react to MIDI-
controllers he knows. So if you select aftertouch, it doesn't mean that the conected synthesizer reacts to it.
Look into the MIDI-implementation chart, which MIDI-controllers are known to your synthesizer, before
selecting.
In many synthesizers, a datafilter can be activated which can filter different MIDI-controllers out of the
MIDI-data flow. In this case the synthesizer is able to understand the datas but the willingness to react has
to be switched on first. Some controllers can be disabled this way. So if you have a synthesizer that doesn't
understand aftertouch, you can select an other controller of the CYBER-6 which is known to the synthe-
sizer.
If you aren't happy with the strength of the tone-changes, look for the modulation-sensivity of your syn-
thesizer. In most of the synthesizers, it can be changed. The CYBER-6 sends all realtime-controllers in full
data, to reach the best possible scaling. This is an indispansable assume to get a continuously variable
adjustment. The strength of the influence by the realtime-controllers should always be changed at the tone-
generator.
The realtime-controlls can be changed at the pages 10-13 of the keyboard-edit menu. Press the
"MASTERKEYBOARD-EDIT"-button and select the pages 10, 11, 12, or 13 by using the "PAGE"-dial.
The following message should be displayed:
As far as the selectable MIDI - controllers have a determined meaning, it is indicated in the display. The
pertinent controller - number is always shown. Beside the standardized MIDI - controllers the Cyber-6
also works with the expanded NRPN - controllers.
These MIDI - controllers own a particularity: A NRPN - controller allows the choice of Sound-parameters
and the changing of their values at synthesizers with GS - standard. Also our synthesizers QUASAR and
TECHNOX accept these controllers. If formerly a direct manipulation of the sound-generator was only
possible by using systemexclusive - data , the NRPN - controllers allow to make changes of sound at GS-
synthesizers of all manufacturers. Since these controllers contain not only the change of value but also the
target of modulation in the sent data, these MIDI - messages are longer than the remaining MIDI - control-
lers. If the manipulation of the desired parameter is also possible by using one of the standard controllers,
you should choose this way, because you relieve thereby the MIDI - interface. In the menus concerning the
assignment of the modulation-sources you can recognize these controllers at the fact that no controller -
number is placed behind . Some of these selectable NRPN - controllers still have a further restriction
beside the MIDI - channel: They refer only to a certain note, that means you can change e.g. the tuning of
the hihat in the drumset by one regulator of the Cyber-6, without influencing the remaining druminstruments.
