The Kurzweil Expressionmate is a great hands on controller. I'm just scratching the surface of this deep MIDI toy.
With Wolf's MIDI Tool Box, and this beast, I had to devote a day to total MIDI CC's, and inventive ideas using the 4 zone strip which sits atop my controller.
I have assigned the cut off rate of the filter envelope to the EXP strip and glide my finger across it over a 2, 4, or 8 bar phrase to time it w/o using bpm's, or unlive sounding lfo's.
On the M Audio KS88's surface, this will sit perfectly alongside the drawbars, w/ the strip located above the LCD. This allows fast acsess 4 the controller above also. I have been sucsessfully pulling off some Sho-Bud E6 Pedal Steel licks also w/ Gigastudio / GVI.
I also have learned how to gang 2, 3 , or 4 drawbars from the B2003, and assign it to one drawbar on the KS88, thanks to Wolf's MIDI Tool Box.
Thank God 4 the Panic Button from Wolf also. I now have one in hardware, and in software also. Redundancy rules my world during live gigs.
Any tips on this controller, and it's uses could make this a useful thread.
I shall add them as I learn. BTW, controlling auto pan w/ this is unique also. I can control the rate / speed, while having a default auto pan continuosly moving. It makes my Scarbee Rhodes samples so live. We used the stage models back in the day, and changed the panning rate live, and used the trustworthy T.C. Electronics Chorus pedal back then also.
Thanks Husker,
Ribbon Controllers Live
Most knobs R 4 AUX's on the mixer, and Delay Parameters. Sliders have different drawbar combinations. Pull down one for moving any combinations on the B2003.
But the bad boy is this Ribbon Controller, I am reading the manual, and it's fairly deep w/ examples. Total freedom w/ control. If I could just learn SDK B4 I'm 60, I would be happy.
