Re: EDP, DirectMIDI, quant, 8ths

[Phil Clevenger <phil.clevenger@gmail.com>]

The silence of the EDP elders on this subject seemed to be saying to me, "The answer is in your own hands already, grasshopper." 

And so it was. After wrestling with it for days, the nugget below and the EDP+ manual eventually pried the scales from my eyes and I've been a SysEx programming fool all night. A mapping scheme for my FC-300 is finally emerging that allows me to PLAY the EDP for a change  (no more faceplate fingering!), and to control the LP-1 as well. Will likely change over time but it is so much better than the previous state of affairs around here. So SysEx is not so scary after all. Ugly as hell, but not scary :)

On the other hand, the silence of the EDP elders may have instead been saying, "Dude, quit messing around with 15-year old hardware and call us again when you get some looping software and join the rest of us in the bright and shining future." Who can tell.. ;)

Best from the land of n00b,

Phil :)

I am discovering that LoopIV in the EDP does not seem to have a way to directly  control 8ths/Cycle, Quantize, or SwitchQuant.

How are you folks controlling these params with your MIDI controllers?

I found this nugget on LD...

The excel spreadsheet ( 
http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/echoplex.html )is great for 
all midi commands but wont give you the commands to switch quantize on/off 
on the edp.(it is on the LD site
this is sys ex domain

Quant Cycle
F0 00 01 30 0B 01 01 13 02 01 00 01 F7
Quant 8th
F0 00 01 30 0B 01 01 13 02 01 00 02 F7
Quant loop
F0 00 01 30 0B 01 01 13 02 01 00 03 F7
Quant Off
F0 00 01 30 0B 01 01 13 02 01 00 00 F7

Is this part of the solution ? Does this code somehow add the ability to control Quant values with direct MIDI? SysEx frightens me...

Many thanks,
