Coarse&fine control with MIDI CC?

Just a shower thought:

Could we perhaps map MIDI CC’s to both coarse and fine control of a single parameter?

Say, CC 15 controls coarse FM amount and CC 16 controls fine FM amount, the same control in a MetaModule module, if that makes sense.

Could be v/ nice especially for FM duties.

Thanks!

or standard 14bit midi support ?!

You probably couldn’t achieve the same level of finesse with 14bit MIDI. With small knobs, 14bit is not that big of an increase in fine control.

Hmm, you could possibly achieve this by using min/max values for a control? Let’s say I throttle the midi cc to only span 10% of the control – this means the MIDI CC has more ’resolution’ available for that 10% span.

Sorry if that’s not a very clear explanation :slight_smile:

7 bit coarse + 7 bit fine = 14 bit.

and yes, 14bit midi could still be used in a restricted min/max range to gain even finer control.

the advantage of using std 14 bit midi is existing controllers (and daws) could support it.

You know this stuff better than me, so I’ll take your word for it :slight_smile: In any case, being able to have finer control would be nice.
