This is my first post so thanks to all the participants on this site which I have been following for months. The TI was my first proper hardware purchase (other than controllers/genelecs) and it was worth every pound. I've had so much fun with it already just playing the presents and setting up a few loops in Live, and the keyboard action (keyboard version) is first rate - even when playing something like Akoustic piano - which leads me on to my problem:
Inspired by Ben's latest video I purchased a Korg controller foot pedal from turnkey. However when plugged in and set to control a parameter like modulation, it only provided change messages over about half of the movement of the pedal so I took it back. I changed it for a Roland EV5 control pedal which had an adjustable setting on the side (I figured I could use this to match the pedal exactly to the TI). Not so.
Now if I attach the pedal and call up Virus Control with a preset where you can see what's going on via VC (eg a patch like BadmouthBC where soft knob 1 is set to modulation), then I can see that the full range of the pedal is only changing the TI by a small percentage (from 20% to 40%) as compared to the modulation wheel which obviously chanages it from 0 to 100%. I thought that the adjustable control on the side would allow me to change this, but all it seems to do is move the mid point of the range (to say 60% - 80%) rather than allowing me to adjust to the full range.
Unfortunately I'm out of the country for a while so I can't take this back as well and I was hoping there's some setting I can make in the synth that will adjust for this. It would seem strange if two well known footpedals don't work properly. Any ideas welcome.
Cheers domc
