Hello mates,

I have IK Multimedia SampleTron & SampleMoog (both with great inspiring sounds!).

(Check this great deal, each for $99!)

I use FG7 as my MIDI Keyboard Controller.

I want to be able to change the sounds of SampleMoog & SampleTron with the MIDI Keyboard Controller's slides/knobs and not only with the computer's mouse... so I won't have to get up from my Fantom G7 to the PC, each time I want to check a sound... It's kinda "annoying" the flow of playing music...

With some kind help in KVR forum I've learned that I should change some SampleMoog/Tron's program's file parameter and write the controls MIDI number.

I would be grateful to know what are the MIDI numbers of FG's:
1. Dial.
2. Dial's arrows.
3. Enter
3. F8

In the end, what I need is to assign 3 buttons:
1) Browse Up. 2) Browse Down. 3) Load Sound.

What's the best way to use the FG7 & do it?


Thank you very much! I appreciate your help.

Happy Xmas & Happy New Year! :)

P.S.
HERE ARE THE TECHNICAL DETAILS:

“
These two arrows (figure 4.5) allow you to select and load the previous/next sound. For example, if you click the UP arrow, the previous sound will be selected from the Browser window and automatically loaded into the currently selected part. If you click the DOWN arrow, the next sound will be selected from the Browser window and automatically loaded into the currently selected part.

This functionality can also be MIDI controlled, to allow sound selection and loading directly from your MIDI keyboard. By default, there are no associated MIDI notes to these functions, but they can be done by editing the "ST2Pref.txt" file. By opening this file, you will find these three lines:
BrowseNext=-1
BrowseLoad=-1
BrowsePrev=-1
You will need to assign three different MIDI note numbers for browsing to the next sound, one for browsing to the previous sound, and one to load the sound.

Please note that you will have to insert note MIDI numbers here, not note. So, for example, to browse sounds and load with C1, C#1, and D1 you will
have to enter:
BrowseNext=25
BrowseLoad=26
BrowsePrev=24

Note: "-1" means that there is no remote control on this function.
”

Each real-time controller (knobs, faders, SW1 and SW2 buttons, D-Beam) can have individual control change values assigned to them, but not note numbers. You can create a phrase in the MIDI Phrase Editor and assign that phrase as an RPS to a pad and use the pad to send a note message. (I'm surprised SampleTron and SampleMoog doesn't have a learn function like some other soft synths for setting up MIDI controller functionality.)

Dear Dan,

Thank you very much for your reply. :)

Mmm... I'm afraid I don't know how to do that... I didn't find it in the FG Manual...

Mmm... When I tried to put numbers in the SampleMoog file:
BrowseNext=25
BrowseLoad=26
BrowsePrev=24
It assigned to the FG keyboard and it works at first, but when I press the FG's "assigned BrowseLoad=26 key", SampleTron crashes... I guess because it tries to play the musical note and execute the sound Load at the same time...

I appreciate your help! Thank you. :)
