Cut-off filter knob to affect multiple performance parts?

25 Nov 2011, 11:43

Hi,

I am programming a song for my cover band that contains 5 different layered patches in performance mode. Now I would like to control the cut-off filter with one of the knobs of all these parts - How do I do this? I checked "Control Switch (Performance)" menu and the knobs are turned on for all parts... but it affects cut-off filter only on the part that is currently selected in "Layer/Split" mode... what am I missing here?

Thanks!

N.

Actually, I'm experiencing the same problem. Can anybody help us here?

Unfortunately, It can only be done by making each instrument/layer receive on the same midi channel. This causes other issues though. All instruments receive all commands if on the same channel. Such as the volume will be the same for all layers if you adjust any one. Also, Part 1 will only transmit on midi channel 1 and part 2 will only transmit to channel 2, etc. so if you try to implement this, make sure you are transmitting on the correct part for the corresponding channel.

Thanks Romey,

It seems that this is our only option, so I'll give it a try. When it comes to part levels being the same, does that refer only to the volume levels within the performance? In other words, if i adjust the lavel of the patch it self within the "patch edit" settings, would it in affect alow me to still control the levels independently?

Yes. But as you know that requires editng the patches independently and saving the patch as a new patch. You could also save the performance as a song and all your patch edits would be saved in the song and not require you to save each patch independently. Another note, If you make 2 parts to the same midi channel, and dont adjust the volume (or any other parameter), the volumes will stay set to their relative positions. Only after you adjust the volume (or any parameter) will their volumes then set identically.
Good Luck,
Romey

other option would be to use the Super Filter from the effects and assign a controller to the cut-off parameter of the effect

While working with my pedal this weekend I discovered that this could be done with the pedal but not with the knobs. It appears the pedal sends to all parts/layers equally when there is a checkmark next to the part in the Layer Screen. You could set the pedal to CC:74 cutoff and accomplish what you ask in the first post without setting all the parts to the same midi channel.
