No different than assigning one of the mod wheels or anything else. That's all it takes. Were you trying to do something else?

I get mail from both lists & from this message's subject line had assumed it was posted to the "sy-list" instead of "emusic-l" .... When I saw J.

When you're in voice mode, I'm playing hopscotch with the slider and nothing is happening..

I have an SY55 and the data slider only works as a local controller in 'voice play' mode, ie not in the multi-mode (because it's used for other parameters in that). Has anybody tried accessing the "+/Yes" and "-/No" buttons via midi using either controllers or sys-ex ?

Damn.. Well so much for design.. Thanks for the advice anyways..

I really don't think the Data Slider does jack in terms of "real-time control": it's just for changing values in edit mode. I've read the manual ( believe it or not!!) and never noticed anything of this sort mentioned.(page 29) I have been able to "capture" the Bulk Protect Off message and send it before sending the other SysEx parameters for a song. That feature is all I've noticed in terms of button-pushingactivated SysEx messages.

I just tried it with Notator, and it worked fine. It will create interruptions in the music, if the TG is your sound source. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 1994 00:18:07 -0400 From: "JAMIE M. HODGE" Subject: TG77 Data Entry Anyone, Why is it that I can't get the Data Entry slide on the TG77 to controller LFO, pan, etc. Is it incapable of controlling itself? Please help, I can't afford at midi slider board, and desperately need real-time control... Jamie Hodge ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
