how to set up midi controller to change parameters on screen

Post by Hayer »

How do i set up a midi controller to change the parameters on the screen in program mode. For example if i wanted to assign the lowpass filter for the ms20 in program mode to be controlled from a knob on my mpc, and see the knob move on screen.

When I turn a knob on the editor the kronos responds the way I want it to. What kind of data is it sending out? more than just midi cc's?

SysX messages are being sent to edit the parameters

To set up a controller on the MS20 (for example, Filter Freq) right click "Voltage Controlled Lowpass Filter" text above the on-screen knob and select "Learn" then move the control knob on your MPC that you wish to associate with that parameter - an onscreen message will pop up asking you to confirm. The right click again and deselect "Learn".

The knob on your MPC will now change the parameter on the editor and send the appropriate sysex command to the Kronos.

Thanks for the responses, I guess I have to look for a midi controller that sends out sysex. I know the bcr2000 does but im looking for something smaller like the korg nanokontrol don't know if it can transmit sysex though.

@kronik I want to be able change those params without the editor.
