While I am still learning the OT, I will humbley admit that I am no stranger to MIDI, loopers, samplers and effects (I’m 42 and have had Boss phrase samplers from the early 90’s to go with my cassette 4-track, back in the early 90’s).
There seem to be a LOT of concerns with OT’s MIDI implementation (or lack of, in certain areas). That said, Elektron has devised a rather non-standard way of utilizing MIDI control. You have to delve into specific CC values for Note values, while ACTUAL note values occupy the space that CC’s would occupy.
I say we ask for a completely revised MIDI implementation scheme…might suck for those of you who finally figured it out with your $1000 controllers, but some of us want to take advantage of the numerous new inexpensive footcontrollers and keyboard controllers (look up Morningstar MC6 and Selah Quartz Timer V2 in the footcontroller department).
I like having my hands on the OT for composition, but in performance (which is the OT’s selling point), I like to have full control AND not have to go nuts on either buying a crazy intricate controller, or programming crazy sub-values on my otherwise simple controller.
But…thats me. Maybe I’m alone on this one.
