1. The other MIDI synthesizer will typically include several controllers, each transmitting
data over its own controller “channel”. For example, Synth X might send out vibrato data
over controller 01 and overall level data over controller 07. Hopefully this kind of
information will be given in the manual.
2. Activate the Emulator II’s Real Time Control module. Decide the first Real Time Control
destination you want to control via MIDI, and assign it to MIDI Channel A by keying in 4
then specifying the destination to be controlled. To place a second Real Time Control
destination under MIDI, assign it to MIDI Channel B by keying in 5 then specifying the
destination. Similarly assign a third Real Time Control destination to MIDI Channel C.
For example, to have the Emulator II respond to MIDI Synth X mentioned above, we
might assign the Real Time vibrato destination (4) to MIDI Control Channel A, and the
Real Time level destination (3) to MIDI Control Channel B. Now all we need to do is
assign controller numbers to MIDI Control Channels A and B, so de-activate the Real
Time Control module and activate the Preset Definition module.
3.
During MIDI set up (PRESET DEFINITION 30), you may assign a MIDI controller
number from 00 to 31 to MIDI Control Channels A, B, and C; these can also be
controlled via the pitch wheel (pwh) or channel pressure (chp) data coming from the
other synth. Again using Synth X as an example, we would assign controller 01 to MIDI
Control Channel A and controller 07 to MIDI Control Channel B. As Synth X sends out
vibrato information over controller 01, this will be received by the Emulator II and
assigned to MIDI Control Channel A, which was assigned to control the “LFO to Pitch”
Real Time Control destination. Meanwhile, as Synth X sends out level information over
controller 07, this will be received by the Emulator II and assigned to MIDI Control
Channel B, which was assigned to control the “Level” Real Time Control destination.
Of course, you don’t have to assign matching controller numbers if you don’t want to;
bending pitch on Synth X, for example, could instead add vibrato or change the Filter Fc
on the Emulator II. It is all a matter of assigning the Emulator II parameter you want
controlled to a MIDI Control Channel, then assigning the MIDI Control Channel to the
appropriate controller number for the other synthesizer.
FINDING OUT ABOUT OTHER SYNTHESIZER’S MIDI CAPABILITIES
It’s easy to find out the controller numbers for parameters on another synthesizer by patching
the Emulator II MIDI OUT connector to the other synth’s MIDI IN. During MIDI Set-up select the
“Rt Wheel” set-up step, use Slider D to select a controller number, vary the right wheel, and
note any changes. Select another controller number, vary the right wheel, and see what that
affects. Most synthesizers will only have a few controllers assigned; note which control numbers
affect which parameters, and write them down for future reference.
For a practical example of how to use this feature, suppose you want to use the Emulator II
footpedal to simultaneously fade out the Emulator II and a MIDI’ed synthesizer. During MIDI set-
up, select the “Pedal” set-up step, and use Slider D to’ change controller numbers until you find
the number that corresponds to overall level. Suppose the controller number is 05. If you assign
the Emulator II “Level” Real Time destination to the footpedal and also send the footpedal
information out over the MIDI controller 05, both instruments should fade in and out together.
