Members ChristianRock Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Have you ever tried sending the Fusion polyAT with another board, or a DAW? I have a Fusion, but haven't tried that yet. I do have another piece (EX5R),that's supposed to receive it, but I never got it to respond right. No, my A-80 is at my church with my JV-2080 (I did test the poly aftertouch with that one though, to make sure the good ol'A-80 is working fine ). But I've come across the poly aftertouch settings on the Fusion quite a few times while programming sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RonJoseph Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Midiboard has release velocity.Chroma does not have Poly AT stock, though it was built to accomodate it.It was available as an option towards the end of the run but very few have it.(less than 10 known).Currently a Chroma list member has engineered an add on but it's not been produced yet.

Members pogo97 Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Novation x-station sends release velocity MIDIBOARD has front-panel sliders to adjust attack & release velocity as well as "touch" which determines how hard you need to push to sustain a note (kind of useless, really) as well as aftertouch sensitivity and "retrigger threshold" which I can't really fathom.

Members MarcinP78 Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 BTW... may someone add a list on what synths included a BREATH CONTROLLER input? The chocolate brown synth, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Kurzweil PC3 has a breath controller.Some CME controllers have it too.Yamaha DX7 had it, as above post says.I suppose Yamaha VL-1 also had it, since it was a physical modelling synth.

Members augerinn Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Some little known rackmount facts: E-Mu Proteus 2000 has Dual MIDI INs. So you get 16 tracks X 2 for a total of 32. Roland M-VS1, M-BD1 Etc have audio in that is summed to the out so you can stack several without a sub mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaul Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 No trolling, but a little OT:My Roland JV-80 had a unique feature: during the demo play, an animated butterfly appeared and a dog, running after it in repetitive circles. Cute!Here is the example of it, seen in module version, JV-880. [YOUTUBE]2ZBEzCveDow[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veracohr Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 The Evolver has the "Output Hack", whatever the hell that does, which tends to go from too subtle to speaker (and ear) damaging in one step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I guess Output hack simulates the way you could overdrive the filter of Minimoog by routing its own output to Minimoog's audio input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wildpaws Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yamaha DX7IID and FD had pitch bend modes, normal-all notes, low-lowest note only, high-highest note only, Key on-all notes but not applied to sound sustained by foot switch. The SY99 had a zoned aftertouch feature, all notes, highest note, lowest note, split hi-all notes above set split point, split lo-all notes below set split point.Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 ....and "retrigger threshold" which I can't really fathom. Sounds like if a note is sustaining, re-striking that key has to be above a certain velocity before it'll re-sound that note again. Just a guess though.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I guess Output hack simulates the way you could overdrive the filter of Minimoog by routing its own output to Minimoog's audio input. Actually, I believe it does a digital bitwise mangling of the signal, which would explain why it goes from subtle to ear piercing in 1 step. (I can vouch for that.)

Members ElectricPuppy Posted October 16, 2009 Members Share Posted October 16, 2009 Pretty much. Since it's it doesn't have much of a sweet spot, I tend not to use it. But then, I tend towards tonal sounds vs. noise experiments, so YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gordonwiebe Posted October 16, 2009 Members Share Posted October 16, 2009 Although I wasn't a fan of the synth, I really, really dug the way the Alesis Microns pitch bend could be set to only control the notes currently being depressed - thus allowing released notes to keep their pitch.A pretty simple, but very effective, creative, feature that I haven't come across in any other synth (Ion probably, but...)... anybody else know one?

Members evildragon Posted October 16, 2009 Members Share Posted October 16, 2009 Any synth with a quantizer as a modifier can do chromatic portamento. I think you can pull it off on most Waldorfs, seeing that they have those modifier units etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Plink Floyd Posted October 16, 2009 Members Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ah. Well, it was exciting in '84. So, can you quantize to something besides half steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
