I reported the ‘secret’ about the plan for the HS editor back in September. I found a hidden page in the ASM web-site that showed an Editor, so i believe it’s true.
But controlling the HS with an alternate interface or using the HS as a controller goes beyond an editor in function. That’s what i’ve been thinking about using an NRPN interface for.
Sounds to me, as best as i can understand what you’re describing, is that you’re having more of an issue on the Max 4 Live side of things, rather than on the HS side.
I have only been keeping casual notes so far of my digging on into the NRPN codes, but found differences with the Macros from the documentation. (Unless i am making a mistake!) I’m considering making my own version of that document – i’d also like to have a reverse list that lists in order of NRPN code. I’ve just been using MIDI OX to look at the outputs so far, and am still planning my next steps.
Dialog Audio’s SQ4 is a pretty basic 4 channel sequential modulator that can have up to 128 steps. It allows you to draw modulation sequences in a variety of ways and can output MIDI CC, RPN, NRPN (7bit / 14bit) and a small group of SysEx with checksums, as well as CV. It sits under a DAW, including Live, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, and Studio One and so provides the glue to handle these kinds of modulations. It costs $50. More detail here.
I’m probably looking for more capability than this – though it is tempting to use with the HS. The HS has lots of modulation options built in, but SQ4 is a step up, and would allow you to modulate some things not in the Mod-Matrix.
Good luck to you godbeat.
