Using the Joystick
1-21
For simplicity, we will look at stereo chains only. First, choose
studio #1, 4SterIn>4SterFX, and make sure you have audio at
reasonable levels going into your KSP8 on channels 1-2, with
audible output of KSP8 output channels 1-2 through your
monitoring system. Now press the FXBUS soft button to bring up
the FXBUS page for buses 1-2. You may need to press the
1-2 bus
select button to make FXBus1-2 the active bus. Cursor down to
the Type parameter and set it to Chain. Now cursor to the chain
fi eld and select chain #1, Phaser Cubed. Make sure the joystick is
enabled by checking the LED in the joystick button. Press the
joystick button once to activate the joystick if you need to. At this
point, you should be able to move the joystick around and hear
the phaser effects in the chain change in response to the position
of the joystick. (As a rule of thumb for chains, the lower-left
position is generally considered the default, or “minimum”
position, with the upper-right as the “maximum” position.) To
see how the joystick is patched into this chain, press the
edit
button, then the more> soft button, followed by the C MOD1 soft
button. You should see a page that looks like this:
Chain:C|MOD1||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Box:|Param:||||||Adjust:||Source:|Depth:X
Box3|CenterFreq||1976Hz|||MIDI25||3600ctX
Box3|LFO|Rate|||||0.32Hz||MIDI26|||8.50HX
Box2|FLFO|Rate||||0.25Hz||MIDI26|||4.60HX
Box2|CenterFreq||5588Hz|||MIDI25||6000ctX
Box2|N L FO|Rat e ||||0. 7 0Hz||M I DI26|| | 6.20H X
<more| | C|MOD1 | C|MOD2 | C|MOD3 | C|MOD4 | more>
You can see that the several rate parameters are being controlled
by the Y-axis (MIDI 26) and the center frequencies for two of the
phaser presets are being controlled by the X-axis (MIDI 25). For
more information on Chain MODs, see the
KSP8 User’s Guide .
Now that you've proven that you can control effect parameters in
real-time with the joystick, you can also record your controller
movements into your external MIDI sequencer. Just press record
on your sequencer and move the joystick. You should record a
series of MIDI controllers (whichever ones are enabled on the
Remote:JOYSTIK page) on MIDI channel 1. Then when you play
the sequence back, those controllers will cause the Chain MODs
shown above to respond in the same way you heard when you
recorded the movements.
