Make Mixer and Effects Parameters Accessible via MIDI

What is the problem?

As a user with external sequencers and MIDI controllers I want to change Mixer and FX parameters via MIDI.

What should this feature achieve?

Should just work like controlling synth parameters.

FX parameters (also those that control sends between effects, which are located on the mixer page) are not specific to the three synth slots, but from a user perspective it may not be a problem when the Synth still reacts to those CCs on any of the synth channels. Otherwise it’s necessary to assign a control channel (which would also be required for Changing Scenes via MIDI Program Change Messages

Are there any workarounds?

No.

Any links to related discussions?

Any references to other products?

All Elektron boxes can do this, and I can’t think of any recent synth with FX that does not allow for MIDI control of FX parameters.

Someone’s on a roll tonight. Thanks for the wish :slight_smile:

This can also be viewed as two wishes:

  • a simple wish for mapping Macros (CC#1-3), Volume (CC#7) and Panning (CC#10), mostly according to MIDI standard
  • mapping the effects parameters and the remaining mixer parameters, which may require more consideration

I created an independent wish for Macros, and I’ll edit this one to be just about effects and mixer parameters:
