| + | ====Using MIDI controllers instead of Encoders==== |
| + | Using midi driven encoders instead of encoders built-in to the Zynthian is a little bit confusing, and that’s conceptual rather than technical. A MIDI controller is normally a pot or an encoder pretending to be a potentiometer. Its value varies from 0 to 127. The problem with that is the Zynthian encoders work as proper encoders using up and down signals. To produce something that could control a list properly when you move to a specific screen after you’ve come from another page is rather complicated because most pots will simply send the maximum value but not repeatedly send if further turns are made. |
