Howdy -

So - picked up a MicroStation, after years away from them I wanted to get some of those Korg sounds back in the arsenal. And it certainly delivers the goods, matter of fact the price/performance ratio on this thing is not to be believed. (Would have preferred a module, it's been a little awkward getting it physically into my rig, but..... hey, whatcha gonna do...?)

I'm no novice to programming, and have owned Korg in the past so I have some idea of their mindset. And a lot of what's available as parameters I've already got my head around (I am running the Editor...) But I'm really buggered trying to grasp the RTC knobs - yeah, there's some great power in there, but the tradeoff is complexity. So I'm hoping one of the programming guru's around here can shed some light on their setup, 'cuz they're one of the things I want customize quickly for my needs.

First question - is there any quick and to-the-point way of seeing just what a given knob does in any particular prog/combi? Currently it appears the only way to figure it out is to A) go to the "basic/controllers" page (in Program for example) and note the assignment of a given knob, and then B) start clicking around all the other pages looking for that entry in a mod field (and actually clicking thru ALL pages just in case it's assigned to more than one parameter...)

Is that really it - no simpler way of seeing routing from the knobs, some shortcut I'm missing?

Got tons of questions on the knobs, but we'll start here. If there's a simpler way of seeing the assignments beginning-to-end it would let me answer a lot of my own questions - as it is it's a laborious process. Any tutorials specific to the modulation/control functions available??

Any and all input appreciated!

Hi John, and thanks (in a kinda depressing way... )

Yeah, I'd noted the fuss about the Editor before even making the buy, but still am blown away by the sound quality-vs-price - this is a really great board. BTW I control mine from an M-Audio Keystation 88, hence my comment about a rack version, didn't really need the mini keys.

Even just enhancing the current editor would be a big jump forward, in this particular instance (for example) being able to right click on a knob assignment and having a flyout pop up with the assigned destinations would be of enormous help. Just little adds like that would make the editor a lot more useful.

Ahh well, guess I'll stumble along my merry way.....
