Setting-up System Controllers for a Patch
A Patch on the JV-1080 can respond to up to three real-time Control Sources. Control Source 1 is Modulation. Control Sources 2 and 3 are user-assignable. Once you’ve assigned a MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) to a JV-1080 System Controller in System mode (as previously described), you can then assign it to either Control Source 2 or 3 in a Patch. Since we have already assigned a slider (or foot pedal) to transmit CC16, let’s use CC16 to control the cutoff frequency and resonance of a Patch:
1. From Patch Mode, select Patch “PR-B: 054 Syncrosonix.”
2. Press the PARAMETER and CONTROL (3/11) buttons, so they are lit.
3. Use the UP/DOWN CURSOR buttons to access the “CONTROL SOURCE” screen.
4. Use the LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR buttons to select “Control 2” (the parameter that is currently assigned will start to flash). Use the VALUE knob to select “SYS-CTRL 1.”
5. Use the DOWN CURSOR button to access the “CONTROL 2” screen, and “OFF:0 | OFF:0 | OFF:0 | OFF:0” will be displayed. This represents the parameters that will be controlled by SYS-CTRL 1 (CC16). Press the LEFT CURSOR button until the first parameter (OFF) is underlined and use the VALUE knob to select CUT (cutoff).
6. Press the RIGHT CURSOR button so that “0” is underlined and use the VALUE knob to select “+63” (the amount of change for cutoff).
7. Press the RIGHT CURSOR button and use the VALUE knob to select RES (resonance).
8. Press the RIGHT CURSOR button and use the VALUE knob to select “+12” (the amount of change for resonance).
9. Play your keyboard and adjust the slider assigned to CC16 to change the cutoff and resonance.
By now you should have a better understanding of the JV-1080 and how it is used with a MIDI sequencer. We have given you an overview of the JV-1080 architecture and basic operation. In addition, we have shown you how to integrate the JV-1080 with a MIDI sequencer and controller keyboard. Finally, we explained how to route effects and assign system controllers. With a little practice, you will be able to master these topics and use your JV-1080 to its fullest potential.
