I typically use my Triton Rack in MultiMode. Suppose I want to control an
editable program parameter such as Filter Frequency with a fader set to
transmit system exclusive messages. The simplest way to do is to expose the
fader's SysEx event list, click on the "Midi In" button and then
alter the
Filter Frequency parameter from the Triton's menu system. That's fine.
Unfortunately, the Triton menu system does not allow access to program
parameters when in MultiMode. One must first switch to "Program
Mode" and
then activate that mode's menu system. I hope you see where this is going...
It's extremely counter-productive to switch Triton modes while working.
Let's say there are multiple tracks in play, and they collectively trigger
several different MIDI channels on the Triton operating in MultiMode.
Suppose I want to define a SysEx fader for a sound's parameter currently
assigned to MIDI channel 3. In this scenario I'm not interested in loading a
full-fledged Triton environment; I'm only interested in a single SysEx
fader. After I create the fader, I'm forced to switch out of MultiMode into
Program Mode. Naturally, this wreaks havoc on playback. The track in
question is communicating on the port's channel 3. Now, one option is to
change it two channel one in the multi-instrument options, which isn't such
a good idea as any unintended alterations (eg, mistaken program change) will
affect all other tracks using that multi-instrument on that MIDI channel.
Okay, so I move on over to the Triton Rack and change its base MIDI channel
to 3. Argh...
My intent is to simply audition the parameter control. Basically, I'd like
to loop a few measures, and play around with the SysEx fader in real time,
including reassigning which parameter I wish to control and affecting these
changes in real time. As it stands the Triton's menu limitation truly
interrupts the creative work flow. My question follows. I'd like to avoid
digging into the Triton's MIDI implementation for the SysEx message that
encompasses the Filter Frequency parameter. Does anyone have a viable
solution? I don't mean to single out the Triton, as the problems occurs with
any synth functioning in MultiMode not having a very navigable menu system.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers...
