Creating a Dynamic MIDI Patch
Some extremely useful effects can be
created by controlling Reflex parameters re-
motely in real time. Almost all of the control-
lers found on a MIDI keyboard or MIDI foot
controller (pitch benders, mod wheels, slid-
ers, switches, breath controllers, foot pedals
and footswitches) can be "patched" to Reflex
parameters. We refer to this real time remote
control capability as Dynamic MIDI.
You can create patches for one or more of
the three front panel parameters, or for any of
the additional parameters available in the
Advanced Programming Mode. Descrip-
tions are provided for each of these proce-
dures.
To use Dynamic MIDI, you patch a MIDI
controller to the parameter you want to con-
trol. Reflex allows you to make as many as
four patches for any effect, and saves your
patches with the effect when you store to a
register. You can assign a controller to a
single parameter, or make duplicate source
assignments to have a single source control
multiple parameters.
Creating patches on Reflex involves se-
lecting scaling parameters to define the rela-
tionship you want between the movement of
the MIDI controller and the parameter value
changes. You can establish either positive or
negative scaling. With positive scaling, the
parameter value increases when the MIDI
controller value increases. Negative scaling
causes parameter values to increase when
the controller value
decreases.
