microkontrolling the micron

[gopala]

i would like to control my alesis micron from my korg microkontrol. i have a list of the micron's NRPNs which gives numbers in three columns. for example, the filter cutoff NRPM numbers are given as "44, 0, 920". over on the microkontrol, i can program a slider to send MSB and LSB NRPNs. so, which of the three numbers (44,0, and 920) goes where? also, the microkontrol will only send hex numbers up to 128 (7F), but several of the other NRPNs have numbers up around 16000 or so. i'm a bit confused.

also, there are several parameters of the micron i'd like to control that aren't on the list. how do i determine what those NRPNs are?

thanks,

gopala

so, which of the three numbers (44,0, and 920) goes where?

When you're remotely controlling a synth you need two additional things in addition to the Non-Registered Parameter Number - midi channel and parameter value --- it's not as simple as which number going where. Without the facility to slide the parameter value up and down as the slider/knob goes up and down, you'll only be able to enter static values. For example, a parameter of 10h = 16d would give you a very low filter frequency value, just as a parameter value of 6Ah = 106d which (with a LPF) would give you a bright sounding high filter frequency. If you wanted to program every setting that midi allows for the NRPN control of the filter you'd need 127 individual faders or knobs or buttons.

Have you tried sending it CC74? That's the traditional midi continuous controller for the filter frequency...

And welcome to the board!
