[Julien Claassen]
If I know, that my synth uses all those not
recommended controls and has no
other obvious 14bit controls, could another solution be, to allow these
controls just as any other? Or would that again break something else?
I mapped all the controls from my NordLead3 - and unless there's something in
the very few menu features, which wouldn't be part of a performance - it's all
7bit between 1-120. There are enough "holes" in that list, to assume, that a
few very special functions could also be included in that list. :-)
I'm not intimate with the Nord Lead3's MIDI implementation. But I'll
guess that a lot of MIDI software is handling all CCs indiscriminately
the same way, MSB or LSB. (In particular, if you do not filter events
and play them back exactly as recorded, there's no need to ever care
about their semantics.) If you do the same and it still sounds good,
you should be fine. :D
