The Triton's joystick seems to step values quite badly when using in place of a modulation wheel. That is: controller values jump up in steps of approx 6 per step.
Does anyone know if there's any way at all to improve the granularity?
It's a shame the ribbon can't be re-mapped to new controller numbers. That might have been one way around the issue...

let me tell something of Triton joystick precission. The modulation in one go, according to test of my own unit, is something more than 5 bits (ideally it should be 7 bits), that is with step of 3.... BUT, there is a great "feature" involved - if one keeps the lever between digital states (ok, in a certain inbetween range, since there is no discretization in reality) and changes direction, there is a range value set shift. In this way I can obtain full 7 bits by tweaking JS+Y. I wish there was some similar feature involved with action dynamics vs digital velocities (some random factor still not affecting the precission much, but expanding the digital domain to the full 7 bits).
Since modwheel usually affects mod depth or frequency depth rather than actual relative pitch value, I am curious why someone would need modwheel to be more precise? IMO much more serious is pitchbender issue or (most important to me) velocity issue (88 keys version).
From your description it seems that TEX act as MIDI controller in your setup. Does the external module not allow for remapping the CC#16?

I've been trying to use my Triton as master keyboard in my studio. I quite often use the mod wheel to control parameters such as filter cut-off on various synths.
The stepping is audible in that scenario.
The mod wheel on my Z1, for example, doesn't step.
It's not possible to remap the ribbon cable CC on most of my synths. It'd be better if the Triton allowed the MIDI CC being sent by the ribbon controller to be re-mapped.
So - back to one of my other synths for master duties.

Now I get it. I thought You want to control a default pitch LFO with a ribbon more preciselly than with modwheel. Triton is all in one thing, so actually - it's not "best" in anything (my opinion).Purusha wrote:I quite often use the mod wheel to control parameters such as filter cut-off on various synths.
