Synapse Audio OBSESSION is now available!

all lovely advice, but none of it relevant to OBsession

It's relevant that I can't program an AT sensitive Obsession patch without jumping through hoops. So yes, it's relevant.

Just to be clear that's not OBsession's fault though in case someone jumps into the thread at that point.

Of course not their fault. All my fault because I'm an idiot. I just want to fix the problem so that I can program AT patches on Obsession. That's all.

I have a Yamaha expression pedal but it has a 1/4 inch jack. Is there a 1/4 inch to USB converter? And even if so, how would I program the pedal?

I think You should read the manual and watch the videos

It appears that this is exactly a 1/4 inch to USB converter with added control software.

Read it, perfect, bought.

We can move on. Hopefully, will arrive soon.

Does the Arturia keyboard you already have include an expression pedal input? They usually look like 1/4" jacks (look exactly like instrument cable inputs). If so, just get a standard expression pedal, plug it into the Arturia (or whatever you replace it with) then the expression pedal will be linked to CC11 (expression) of the same controller. No extra work required.

no, it isn't, you cant do it on any synth because your controller isn't AT friendly, nothing at all to do with OBsession

I only have one 1/4 inch jack and it's marked sustain.

Piece of junk!

Tell me about it.

[Funkybot's Evil Twin]

Tell me about it.

The Keylab MK II looks pretty decent. Lots of control pedal inputs (including some Aux inputs), channel aftertouch (i.e. not polyphonic aftertouch), decent amount of controls...

AnX, this is now a thread about Wags, so don't you dare talk about Obsession anymore!

[vurt]

and that helps how?
a way to fix it, without drama escalating...

"can a mod, remove the controller bits and move them to the hardware forum please".

[wagtunes]

Hey, I'm sorry. I was trying to program the synth and it wasn't working and I couldn't imagine what was going on. Using an old version of Cubase, I suspected that was the culprit and Obsession wasn't fully compatible with it. I never in a million years thought it would be my controller. Had I known, I would have NEVER brought this up.

Okay, now that's the end of it. Can we go back to talking about Obsession?

I have another request.

Seems that when in split mode, there are many functions that are still universal. For example, you can't have a non unison patch on one side (say pad on the left) and a unison patch on the other side (say lead on the right)

How difficult would that be to implement?

[Yorrrrrr]

Yes, just like the hardware is based on, you can only split the oscillators, filter and envelopes. The modulation section and some other parameters like unison remain universal. Full parameter split has been requested (I think), but only Richard knows if it can be done.
