Zebra Programming Question

[fantismo]

Hi there..

I want to program a synth that for each new midi key trigger it pans either left or right..

Does anyone know how to do this.. not using LFOs to pan.. but key input..

so

strike one... sound comes from the left..

key strike two.. sound comes from the right... etc..

Would be great if you could help! thank!!

You can assign a modmapper to the pan. Then change it to just alternate mode, right click on the map and 2, so you just get 2 blocks. Then move one all the way up, one all the way down. Then just adjust the mod amount of the modmapper on pan. Now it should alternate for each key strike.

Then change it to just alternate mode...

Actually you should use the "key" mode instead.
If you want all different level settings for each key press, then set the levels to 64 or any number closer to the amount of keys your controller has.
It's in the drop down menu.
Then adjust each mapper level to whatever you want for each key press.
To adjust the levels in better detail, click on th + sign on the ModMapper, to get the drop down menu, right-click on it.
Assign it to whatever pan is needed.

Alternate mode just goes from one to the next, but the key mode goes to whatever key is pressed.
You don't need to assign a modulation to either of those.

Bigtone uses the method ezelkow1 described in several of his presets:

Keep in mind chords played will alternate pan as well, this means if you play C-E-G you might get C(left)-E(right)-G(left) which may or may not be what you're expecting. It's much more reliable in monophonic modes.

If you know you are going to do a series of chords with the same # of notes, you can change the number of steps in the modmapper. 3 up and 3 down for 3 note chords... not very flexible, but it can be done
