rockkeys Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just got a DSI Tetra and I want to incorporate it into my hammond xk-3c. How do I set this up so hitting one of the black preset keys on my hammond "switches" to my tetra? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcS Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 How complicated do you want to get? The easiest way is to just connect the '3c to the Tetra and push the drawbars in and turn the Tetra's volume up when you want to play it. If you need a more complex setup use an External zone (up to 3 with the '3c's manual). Set up an external zone and push all the drawbars in then save it to the preset key you want to use. Have the zone use a MIDI channel that the '3c doesn't use for the manuals/pedals and have the Tetra ignore all channels but the one in the EZ.

Analogaddict Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Don't be afraid to dive into the midi of the XK. You can assign the buttons to different cc:s, send program changes and make splits. The "only" problem is that you can't switch off the volume pedal cc send...

GDP Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hey Cool, The Tetra is a great synth for sure, I love mine. Keep in mind that it can be programmed using CC's, but it really has deeper midi implimentation by using NRPN's (check manual). If the xk-3c sends NRPN data, that will give you better control.
