Hi guys, my first post here.
I saw some other posts which received good answers so I joined to ask my question.
I have the JV-1080 and love its sounds. It also suits my budget.
I previously used a simple midi k/b and have just upgraded to a Samson Graphite 49.
It already provides better utilisation of the 1080, for example mod. is a pot rather than a switch, so I can get degrees of Leslie or other modulation, rather than "all or nothing".
What I want to ask is how to match all the programmable knobs, buttons etc on the Graphite to the parameters and bank/patch changes I want to make while playing. I also want to set some of the knobs to control effects in real time.
I have waded through the manuals for both machines and will attempt to set both machines so that they talk to each other.
I just wondered if anyone else has been down this road and knows a simple way to do it.
The Roland manual is quite hard to decipher, with many instances of starting to tell something then referring to another page, where there is a small paragraph which could have been included on the previous page. It's not helpful.
The Samson manual is overly concise, with descriptions of operation that lack detail for someone not conversant with the foreign language of "midi". The most helpful part appears to be the table of midi CC numbers, although I'm not 100% sure how to apply them.
Can someone lead me through this jungle?
If anyone has done this, would they have a sys.ex file I can load to attain the state of control I desire?
Many thanks in advance and hope what I ask is possible.
