Hi there, I’m contemplating getting the MM to build my custom fx chains. There’s one thing that ‘s important to me but can’t find the info: what is the resolution of the pots/knobs on the device when mapping to virtual module controls? The ol’ MIDI 7bit wouldn’t do it for me.
The pots are sampled at 12-bit, oversampled x1024 to 22-bits, then stored as 12-bit values. From there the values between readings are linearly interpolated with 32-bit floats. The virtual module controls are given these 32-bit float values. So it’s pretty clean, no artifacts from low bit depth, or zippering or anything like that.
Great. I wasn’t expecting anything less!
I 'm not sure I understand the bit of oversampling to 22 bits but storing at 12 bits though. Isn’t that throwing away the benefits of oversampling?
No the benefit of oversampling is that we are averaging out the values. So we sample 1000 times at 500kHz, and then take the average of that, which is a much cleaner and more accurate signal than if we were to sample 1 time at 500Hz.
