Hi all,

Just a question related to v7 versión... There are some way to improve the sensitivity or response speed of the volume faders? I've set my Akiyama Syncron in v7 versión, the latency is set to the minimum (no lacking sound, sounds great) but I wish this to be more Speedy.

I've observed that the crossfader performance is better that the volume faders. Can I modify some parameters to improve this? (on any XML... internal config file... etc...)

Thanks

No. The sensitivity is only limited by the hardware itself.
Most units provide 7bit MIDI for their faders which means 128 steps.
Some units may provide 14bit MIDI on selected or all faders, but that's up to the manufacturer and the hardware they use. 14bit MIDI is 16384 steps.

Thanks Phantomdeejay, my intention is to obtain a similar fader performance like in vdj8 versión.

I've downloaded the demo version and checked that is better (not perfect, but a bit better...)

Maybe we can modify the speed of the fader by avoiding some steps? Do you know if it's possible? the intention is to obtain a quick response in "cut-off" fader moves, similar like a "kill" button but with the faders.

Thanks!

First, what volume curve are you using? linear or quadratic?

In a way you can map a volume kill. Something like that should work:

level param_smaller 50% ? level 0% : level

Hi PachN

I've tested both configs, linear and quadratic, there's no "important" difference between.

Thanks for the tip, I will try it, this code must be entered in the mapping for each fader, it's ok?

pd: I'm speaking about v7 versión, v8 fader speed it's ok for me.

Regards,

Yes for each fader.

For v7 I believe the action for the volume is "volume".

So try this:

volume & param_smaller 50% ? volume 0% : volume
