Hi kiwitechnics list, hello Murray,

I'm doing some research before purchasing a PE. I have some older synths (MKS-70, Microwave1, Matrix-1000, SCI Multitrak that has upgraded OS to allow midi CC control same as SixTrak) that I can control well enough with iPad/Lemur/MissingLink, but I would prefer hardware knobs, of course. I have an old Peavey PC-1600 slider box that can send sysex strings, but the lack of any memorable 'slider layout to function' mapping makes that a bit annoying.

My main question - do any of the device profiles send plain old midi CC values, rather than sysex? Perhaps a 'null' profile? I'm hoping to use the PE with some VSTs as well, and just require that moving sliders send CCs according to some list. Reading the docs, I get the impression that the JX3P profile might use CCs when talking to a 3P upgraded board. I understand the CC->to sysex translation function that the PE provides for CCs arriving at the INPUT, that's well documented and discussed. I'm asking here about pure standalone MIDI CC output from the PE -- is there a profile for which every slider is active, and moving sliders results in midi CCs (perhaps quantized in the cases of buttons and selectors, but full 0-127 for data sliders)?

Thanks very much, Kevin Connor (minphase at muffs, mutable)
