[. . . ] At this point, you should be able to move the joystick around and hear the phaser effects in the chain change in response to the position of the joystick. (As a rule of thumb for chains, the lower-left position is generally considered the default, or "minimum" position, with the upper-right as the "maximum" position. ) To see how the joystick is patched into this chain, press the edit button, then the more> soft button, followed by the C MOD1 soft button. You should see a page that looks like this: Chain:C|MOD1|||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Box:|Param:||||||Adjust:||Source:|Depth:X Box3|CenterFreq||1976Hz|||MIDI25||3600ctX Box3|LFO|Rate|||||0. 32Hz||MIDI26|||8. 50HX Box2|FLFO|Rate||||0. 25Hz||MIDI26|||4. 60HX Box2|CenterFreq||5588Hz|||MIDI25||6000ctX Box2|NLFO|Rate||||0. 70Hz||MIDI26|||6. 20HX <more||C|MOD1|C|MOD2|C|MOD3|C|MOD4|more> You can see that the several rate parameters are being controlled by the Y-axis (MIDI 26) and the center frequencies for two of the phaser presets are being controlled by the X-axis (MIDI 25). For more information on Chain MODs, see the KSP8 User's Guide. Now that you've proven that you can control effect parameters in real-time with the joystick, you can also record your controller movements into your external MIDI sequencer. Just press record on your sequencer and move the joystick. You should record a series of MIDI controllers (whichever ones are enabled on the Remote:JOYSTIK page) on MIDI channel 1. Then when you play the sequence back, those controllers will cause the Chain MODs shown above to respond in the same way you heard when you recorded the movements. 1-21 Using the RSP8 To record controller movements for chains on other buses, simply change to another bus, say, FXBus3-4. Because we set the channel for the controllers to Cur (current) on the Remote:JOYSTIK page, the controller data will be transmitted to the current bus, FXBus34, and will appear in your sequencer on MIDI channel 3. KSP8 presets do not contain any modulation data, so any effect modulations must be done within a chain. If you want to control a parameter within a preset, put that preset into a chain, even if it is the only box in the chain, and then use the C MOD pages to patch in whatever control you want. As stated earlier, many of the chains provided with the KSP8 have some MODs patched in. Scroll through the chains and experiment with the joystick to see what kinds of things are possible. Some other examples of chains with joystick MODs are: · Chain #68 Wide Slow Pan has only a single MOD, which uses the Y-axis (MIDI26) to control the rate of the panner. Note that this is a pan algorithm within a chain, as opposed to the dedicated panners at the studio level. Chain #8 Reverb Morpher has only 2 MODs, but utilizes FUNs (functions) inside the chain to combine MIDI control data from the joystick with an LFO inside the chain. In the lower-left quadrant, the LFO automatically controls the two reverb presets in the chain, "morphing" from a small room ambience to a larger space, and so on. Moving the joystick to the lower-right quadrant speeds up the LFO. In the upper two quadrants, the LFO is disabled and you control the morphing yourself, with the small space in the upper left and the larger space in the upper right. · 1-22 Using the Control Knobs Using the Control Knobs The RSP8's control knobs let you conveniently control the eight parameters on the currently displayed QUICK page, as well as send MIDI controller data to control Chain or Studio MODs. The Remote:KNOBS Page The Remote: KNOBS page is where you see and set parameters for the control knobs.

These are separate from the eight joystick banks that you can also create. Mode - Auto, MIDI, or Quick Specifies whether the eight control knobs on the RSP8 control the values of Quick and EQ/Sends parameters (Quick), send only MIDI data (MIDI), or do either (Auto) depending on the currently displayed page. Although this item appears on the Remote:SETUP and Remote:KNOBS pages, it cannot be set separately for individual knob banks. [. . . ] If plugged into a KSP8, the KSP8 is not on. If plugged into a HUB7, no input port is connected to a powered KSP8. If plugged into a HUB7, its adapter is not plugged in or not powered. Cable too long or wire gauge too small between power source and RSP8. Power-up sequence repeats indefinitely 1. [. . . ]
