Using the Aux Outputs
If your synthesizer has inputs for additional control voltages, such as for filter cut-off or VCA
volume, these can also be controlled via MIDI using the
PRO SOLO Mk3’s three Auxiliary
Outputs. Each Aux output has its own Controller, to which a variety of MIDI message types,
such as Velocity, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and CCs can be assigned; as well as a couple of special
modes.
You can only select one Controller for each Aux output; however, you can use the same
Controller for multiple Aux outputs if you want to send the same signal to several destinations.
Aux 1 is a special case in that keyboard scale and the LFO can be routed to it
in addition
to
whichever Controller is selected. See the System Diagram on page 5.
Each Aux output has an associated minimum value, maximum value and reset value. The full
range of the controller, for example a MIDI CC, will be scaled between the minimum and
maximum values. It is possible to set up an inverted response by setting the minimum value
higher than the maximum.
The reset value determines the level to which the Aux output will reset to at power-on, upon
receiving a MIDI Controller Reset message or loading a new setup.
Example
–
assigning MIDI note velocity to Aux 1:
Connect AUX 1 to a control input on your synthesizer, such as the filter cut-off. Set
Parameter 20 (Aux 1 Controller), to “VL” for MIDI note vel
ocity. Assuming your MIDI
controller is velocity sensitive, the timbre produced by the synthesizer will change
depending on how hard the note is struck. You may need to adjust the minimum and
maximum values (Parameters 21 & 22) to get the desired range of response.
