ryancolecreate Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Sooo I've had an ea-1 for a while, but i'd never really worked it into my workflow as I am mostly using Logic for composition and production. I never figured out a way to integrate it since it also only sends and receives NRPNs instead of the normal CC messages making it very difficult to sequence remotely. lameness. This weekend I finally over came that. I discovered that using midipipe, I could convert the NRPN messages into CC messages, and use it as a controller. I've been doing some acid remixes of krunk rap, and wanted a nice way to play it out, so that prompted me to overcome the obstacle. I'm sequencing the virtual 303 from the step sequencer on the EA-1, and since almost all the synth knobs are the same as on the 303 I can just map it all out, and then it's like I have a 303 wearing an EA-1 suit. The knobs are even labeled correctly for their functions. :) Anyways I figured there were probably some people out there who would like to use an Electribe as a controller but have skull fucked themselves into an NRPN coma. Just thought I'd share my breakthrough. Fuck NRPNs. That is all.

Guest Hanratty Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 can i do that with my er-1? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/49504-fun-with-the-ea-1/#findComment-1136416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepex Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 That's pretty cool! I would love to have that kind of 303 sequencing control. 303 sequencing staring at a screen is really strange to me. I would think being able to have it in front of you would be a lot more intuitive. Hanratty, you should be able to do it with your ER-1 if he can do it with his EA-1, but it may only be drum step sequencing instead of meldoic sequencing like the EA-1, but you may be able to do that too.

Deepex Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I just got a TR-505 this week, and this thread inspired me to map it to my virtual 909/808/606! A much easier process than having to route it through a strange program, just saying thanks for the inspiration. I would have gotten around to this sooner or later, but this got me thinking about it. This rules! Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures On 4/11/2010 at 6:25 AM, 'Rambo' said: I enjoy the fragility of the rolling lol tbh.

ryancolecreate Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 ya I think all the Electribes use NRPN. A lot of synths do actually. I don't know why. Some bullshit about 'more available controllers' although the EA-1 is cack simple. I can upload the midipipe patch if anyone is interested.

awepittance Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 so midipipe can enable the korg electribes to act as a midi controller? do all the knobs send signals ? that would be seriously awesome. i'd imagine if you're using it to control a 303 patch the slide on/off can be sent as well Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/49504-fun-with-the-ea-1/#findComment-1136677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
