It would need to be an embedded device IMO. I’m sure there could be some software out there that could do some of this, but then you’re also dealing with third-party MIDI interfaces, and other variables. As long as the testing device was known to be perfectly within MIDI spec, this could be highly useful. Something that checks MIDI messages being sent and received from a piece of gear, something that could also test sync, latency, overflows from “noisy” modulators, etc. Some REAL testing tools would be very cool for reviewing and even diagnostic purposes. There are far too many variables even just hooking it up to one other retail device. If the reviewer doesn’t have the latest firmware installed as one example could lead to bad information being spread. Testing with other retail gear, actually isn’t a great test, because you don’t actually know which side the issue is coming from necessarily. There are no perfect MIDI test tools that I’m aware of to where you could have a pass/fail result that currently exist, unless maybe a big synth manufacturer has something like that in-house. Let me turn that off, and then here again, we have these two blank controller assignments.Īlright, so before I go on, we’ll take a break, and I’ll come back and explain, there’s two envelopes here that can be set to two different targets each, and this morph pad, which is unusual on its own right.To be fair, for a standard (or at least typical) review, more than that can’t really be expected. So every time I hit the same note, I’ll get a different pitch. There’s also something called note random. So if I hit the same key with different velocities, I’ll get different pitches. So this is going to have velocity affect pitch. Then we have - let me turn that off - then we have velocity, and note on random. And we have this phase on mono-to-poly spectrum here, we have all of the same waveforms that we had in the LFOs, and a curve control that distorts the wave. So it’s increasing the intensity of the vibrato with the after touch. Let’s hear what it is, first of all, with no via control.Īnd here it is with a lot of via control. I do have that control on mine, so as I increase the after touch, or push down more after I initially push down the key, you’ll hear the vibrato start to kick in moreso. This means that currently, the via control in the after touch feature of your keyboard if you have one. Depth via, vibe control, and if I look down below where it says MIDI Controller assignments, it says, “vibe, depth control, after touch.” You can have two different targets for each one of the jitter functions as well. So it’s cool when you want that kind of jittery type of sound, which is why it’s called jitter. It kind of moves around - it jitters around randomly. Jitter is like an LFO with a Sample & Hold in a way. You can have two different targets for this LFO, and there’s another LFO right next to it, which gives you two additional targets, and two - another complete set of controls. So it’ll start out modulating, and then it’ll slowly die away. This delays the onset of the LFOs influence, and this decays the LFO influence over time, so let’s hear it with a delay first. We saw this in another synth before this. I’ll put that back on Sample & Hold, and I’m going to look at this envelope decay and delay feature. You can also have this - by using this curve feature down here, and actually, this only works with certain ones - yeah, if we look at the sawtooth wave, you can see we can change the shape of it with this knob down below.
