mute timbres with switch ? how to reset vector stick ?

[SoulBe]

Hi,

two more questions occured as I´m still programming my live-setup:

1) can I mute / unmute the tracks in a combination with the switches 1/2?

When I want to change the play/mute status in an combination of several timbres to get a new sound I found out 2 ways, either with karma as described on the forum (but then I cannot use karma) or with the control tabs/buttons (but thats no solution if you have to change several sounds quickly). The vetor stick is also no solution to fade in /out, because then I cannot use it for expression etc. Of course I could change the whole combi but ...

It would be nice to change through play/mute only to press the switch 1 or 2 to avoid mistakes in changing the sounds, or is there any other "secure" possibility to change?

2) how can I reset the vector stick?

I found some nice sounds which strongly change their charakter when using the vector stick, but I had to bring it exactly back to the mid-position the get the original sound, because as far as I´m aware the control reset button does not work with the vector stick. Is there any possibility to reset or do I have to "find" the mid-position again ?

Thanks
SoulBe

Yes - hold RESET CONTROLS and move the joystick.

For more details, try searching the PDF Parameter Guide for RESET CONTROLS, or hold the HELP button and then press RESET CONTROLS.

Best regards,

Thanks for that Dan, I thought the reset controls works like a "panic" button - just to press.

Any ideas about the muting of timbres with the two switches 1/2 or maybe a feature for the next OS update for live players?

Hello

I had a similar question concerning switching Timbres in a Combi with the 1/2 Switches. I have received the following answers on the karma lab forum:

In the Combination Int-C 092: Orch Menu SW1,2 EXs1 it is possible to change Program (Timbre) selections. Pushing the control switches SW1 or SW2 gives you different selections of Woodwind and Brass Programs (Timbres). If you push SW1 AND SW2 it gives you a selection of two String Programs (Timbres). I would like to edit this selections, respectively to know, how to program them by myself. It is obviously not done on the Program (Timbre) level, because in the Combi MIDI-Filter3 Menu, the switches SW1 and SW2 are disabled. Can anybody tell my how it exactly has been done ? Is it maybe done on the Karma level ? Thanks for the help.
(I own my OASYS only several weeks, so maybe it is a stupid question, but i did not yet find an answer by myself...)""

Hi Dany:
This is a very interesting example because you are not just enabling disabling some timbres with each switch. In fact you have a completely different set of instruments for any combination of switches.
The combi contains 7 timbres.
With SW1:off & SW2:off you enable timbres 1,2,4,5,6 (all but 3,7)
With SW1:on & SW2:off you enable timbres 1,5
With SW1:off & SW2:on you enable timbres 2,4,6
With SW1:on & SW2:on you enable timbres 3,7

(you can check it just soloing each timbre and try each combination of Switches 1&2)

If you go to EQ/Vector/Control > Controllers you will see both switches are assigned to CC#80 and CC#81. These controllers are set to be used as modulators to control other parameters. So the secret is to find the parameters assigned to CC#80 and CC#81 in the AMS /DMod options.

In this particular case if you go IFX > Routing 1 you will see something interesting.....
Timbres 1,5 are sent to IFX1 (Stereo Graphic 7EQ)
Timbres 2,4,6 are sent to IFX4 (stereo Graphic 7EQ)
Timbres 3,7 are sent to IFX6 (Stereo graphic 7EQ) and then to IFX7 (Stereo graphic 7EQ again)
...do you see the pattern?

Now go to IFX>IFX1-12>IFX1...IFX4 and IFX6 respectively and look at the lower part the OUTPUT assignment...
IFX1: DRY SW2 (CC#81) +100 (acting on timbres 1,5)
IFX4: DRY SW1 (CC#81) +100 (acting on timbres 2,4,6)
IFX6: WET SW1 (CC#81) - 100 (acting on timbres 3,7)
IFX7: WET SW2 (CC#80) - 100 (acting on timbres 3,7)

So you are basically controlling IFX output for each group of timbres with the switches, that act as DMod sources (Dynamic Modulation).
For better understanding please look at the Parameter Guide in the effects section (Page 833 for 012-Estereo Graphic 7EQ) and also take a look for AMS and DMod.

Rgds.

PS: Don't worry that it's not a trivial thing. I used my Oasys for more than two years and it took me around 20 minutes to figure out the way the switches were set

Hi Dany,

thank for that link, i´ll check it out - it gives lots of control for switching timbres. I was thinking about "muting" as a destination of the switches or oscillator levels but I really was not thinking of the IFX.
