ranman Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Has anyone looked into the possiblity of controlling the Electro 2 with the Hammond XM-1 drawbars? Is this a fantasy? I see in the manual that the Electro drawbars each have midi controller numbers assigned to them. Is something like this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yes, it should be able to work. I use Voce MIDI Drawbars to control my Electro. It requires a mapper like the MIDI Solutions Event Processor to translate the MIDI CCs from one to the other. Works great! Regards, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 As memory serves me right, Hammond uses a different scheme rather than a single controller for each drawbar. Seems to me it would be difficult to do. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend that wrote the manual for the EPP and also does custom programming for a reasonable fee. He has set these up to do some very esoteric things for me. I would imagine that getting the Hammond drawbars to talk to the Electro would not be too difficult. PM me if you want more contact info on an expert that could definitively help you, assuming you have the Hammond drawbars and an Electro with a serious intent to marry them.

Sven Golly Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 This of course assumes that the XM-1 transmits drawbar changes via MIDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Eric, you're probably right. That device looks very capable. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's ringing a bell, something like a major misinterpretation of how MIDI was generally implemented on Hammond's part to the tune of assigning multiple drawbars to one CC# or something? Or maybe instead of using the full 0-127 range allowed by MIDI, assigning 0-8 just like a real drawbar, but completely impractical for any remote usage, or maybe a combination of both? A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I had the XK-2 and I think it's something like: #12, value 0 = drawbar 1, 0 #12, value 1 = drawbar 1, 1 ... #12, value 9 = drawbar 2, 0 #12, value 10 = drawbar 2, 1 .... #12, value 17 = drawbar 3, 0 etc. If the device can be programmed to capture a controller # and a specific value and then remap that to another controller # and a specific value, I think it would work.
