EE Osmose : Pressure to Mod wheel converter ?
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:37 am
I started using Spitfire Kontakt libraries, and they are meant to be used heavily with the Modulation Wheel (CC#1).
While it seems to be common to use the actual mod wheel on a MIDI keyboard, I thought I'd try using my Osmose as a controller and use the pressure as a replacement for the Mod Wheel.
I've got a few notes and questions about this and I'd be happy to discuss ! I'm not even convinced it's a good idea, but maybe some of you already tried ?
Bear in mind that Osmose outputs Pressure during the first "action" of the key, and then outputs Slide for the rest of the mechanical course. That's why I want to use Pressure instead of Slide, so I don't have to hit the "bottom" of the key before Mod takes effect.
- The stock device "MPE Control" has a "Slide to Mod" or a "Press to AT" option, but no "Press to Mod"
- when playing multiple simultaneous notes, I would have to only output the maximum Pressure value, right ?
- a simple AT to Mod converter would not work, as I need to keep the whole MPE spectrum, right ? (AT seems to be reset for each new note)
I'll start patching this morning, but if anyone wants to chime in and share thoughts, please do !
