RME wishes

[Hal_McGee]

I have had my RME for a couple of years and I love it! Often, about half the time, I use it as a pure table-top synthesizer -- I bought the wood handles to complete that vibe! And, just as a side note of interest, I almost always use the Real Panel Parameters. I too like to use it in "drone mode" by flipping the ENV GATE switch to ON/EXT, and then I just tweak the knobs and space-noise-trance out. I get plenty of great sounds out of it just as it is. I have found the Mixer Out / Filter In to be quite useful. I have thought about getting the VX-352 to augment the RME's capabilities, but I would really prefer to be able to use it stand-alone with its existing onboard capabilities, from an aesthetic standpoint. What it amounts to is that when I am doing drone mode, one of the Mod Busses lies "silent" and inert.

I would really love my RME even more, if as soundsubs suggested, that the MW mod buss would "be able to be used without a Mod Wheel message. That is, if I had a stand alone RME, I should be able to modulate like I can on the P buss." It kind of defeats the purpose to send a MIDI message via mapping a button. As someone pointed out, in that case I might as well just hook up my MIDI keyboard to the RME and use the Mod Wheel (which I do the other half of the time any way . Believe me, for me, it's not a BIG DEAL, but it would be a big enhancement that would further my enjoyment and creativity.

Isn't there any way to just turn the MW buss on internally (via a Master Menu selection, etc.)? I guess if so, Amos would have told us. If not, could this be addressed in a future software upgrade?

Yes, it would be really great to be able to enable MOD buss 1 without needing a MIDI controller. I'm at this point trying to control the RME with an analog controller (nice pitch bend:-) and I'd really like to be able to access MOD bus 1 without a MIDI controller. Perhaps this could be addressed in the next software update. (Amos - Rudy??)

I'm using the RME with both a VX351 and 352. I can't seem to find away around this limitation even with these boxes.


....and it would be great to able to program the range as in pot mapping, as with the CC#1 off=0, on=127 sometimes the value of 127 is too sensitive,


err.... replying to my self. Doesn't this work - pot mapping MOD 1 to Modulation wheel? Seems to but not in a global way, just per patch

Thanks

Hey -

This is easy - the only downside is you have to set it up by each preset - just use pot mapping to set the Mod Wheel Buss AMOUNT pot to control the Mod Wheel @ 100%. This means that when you turn the Mod Wheel Buss AMOUNT pot, the voyager maps its voltage to both the MW Bus Amount CV as well as the Mod Wheel CV. Pot Mapping is in the EDIT menu.

If you didn't want both these controls tied together, you could use a different control, like headphone volume to control the Mod Wheel.

Hope this helps.

Steve,

Thanks a lot! I knew that there was an answer. I just didn't know how to do it. Once again Moog Music proves that they care about their customers in a big way. This information has made me very happy.
