hello all,

upon visiting bryan ressler's page (http://www.pallium.com/bryan/dw8000.php) i was inspired to try to get the encoders on my microkontrol to take care of some parameters... although i consider myself a fairly intelligent individual, i must admit, i am a midi newb and this is confusing the heck outta me.. in theory it should work right? or am i bound to the one lonely fader on the 8000? any suggestions or advice would be awesome folks.
thanks
disasterman

you sure you mean the microkontrol? thats just a pad surface isnt it?

Anyways, i have a kontrol49 kicking around my studio somewhere and i know from using it that it does not do SYSEX commands which are what is needed by the DW8000/EX8000.

it has pads but also 8 encoders and faders.... after some review of the manual, it seems like the pads are a lot more accessible the the knobs.... Sad

so is there any controllers out there (besides the kenton control freak) that could do what im asking?

maybe the knobby?

well the knobby says it does sysex so it might work.

I know another controller out there that has been known to work is the one from Peavey. Haven seen one on the market in ages.
