There's a parameter called "ControlSource" which lets you select the starting note/CC value which the MIDI commands table is based upon. The default value for this is 36. So, for instance, the default "source# offset" for Record is 2. If ControlSource is set to 36, then the MIDI note (or CC number) to engage Record would be 38 (ControlSource=36 + source# offset=2). > Finally, is it recommended that all of these functions be programmed for > use by a foot controller and if so, which ones would most likely be used > during a performance? It's a really personal issue, because so many of the DirectMIDI commands lend themselves to different types of techniques. For myself, I have different banks on my MIDI footpedal, each one of which has a different collection of DirectMIDI commands programmed into them. The best advice I would offer would be to pick a few commands that look intriguing, assign them to a MIDI controller, and experiment. You'll likely find that different commands work better, depending on your playing style. A few examples of ways to group DirectMIDI commands: -- A "sus-mania" bank with lots of different SUS-commands available (I love this one) -- A bank where the top row contains note values to select different loops, and the bottom row allows you to perform different functions within a loop (overdub, insert, multiply, etc.) so you can switch between loops quickly -- An "insert-mania" bank with lots of different Insert modes available at once (Reverse, Half-Speed, Replace, Substitute, SUS, etc.) so you can access them all at the same time without having to change the front panel Insertmode. Trial and error are the keys here - take some time and experiment to see what works best for you. --Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com
