another 'hack' that i thought was common knowledge, but isn't. this one let's you send pitch-wheel data with the pc1600. edit a fader to send this string: En 00 pr n = channel number pr = 1 byte, 0-127 that's it. you might want to assign the button under this fader to send the string: En 00 40 this sets the pitch back to the 'center' position. now, i know someone out there is gonna say "wait a minute, pitch-bend data uses 14 bits, and has a value of 0-16129. why limit it to 7bits?" if you want to set up the pc1600 to send all 14 bits, go ahead. most synths only look at the MSB anyway (meaning a real-world value of 0-127). also, the resolution of the pc1600 faders is 7bit, so setting a higher resolution will do nothing useful anyway. ...atom atom@suspicious.org
