E.g. (totally made up values in this example) if you want to approximate the amplitude envelope from SH-101 to Bass Station 2, if the attack knob is at 5/10 position on 101, that's 500ms, which means you need to set attack knob to 6/10 on Bass Station 2 to get same attack time?
I hope this gets made one day, but I'm too poor and stupid to make it.
Anyways, this sort of system would make it much easier to create "universal" patches that would work between synths.
I naively thought that with 300ish synths covered they'd have everything I own but I can see that's not the case.
I've got Alesis, Casio and Yamaha equipment that's missing. Time to dig out the manuals and get a PR ready.
It's easy to forget how successful the MIDI standard is. It might be the most stable and still relevant digital standard of all time.
My oldest bit of kit is a Casio CZ-5000 from, I think, 1985. That I can plug it into the latest equipment without drivers and it still works is amazing. 5 pin DIN for the win!
Wow. This post covers a lot! As a non-synth/midi person I kinda bounced off and thought it wasn't for me but there's really so much cool stuff in here. The video was what caused me to scroll back and read more closely.
It seems like two apps if you include penbook (https://condukt.app/ being the main app). The title really describes the content but somehow undersold it for me.
Is there a midi device novices start with like a recorder for gradeschool students? The HiChord always looks so enticingly simple but I don't even know if that is the same type of device?
Thanks again, Ben! (if you're reading this)
