bob green Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I use my Px5S to control an external sound source, as well as its internal sounds. Is there any way to control volume of an external sound, say, with a slider, while having the internal sound on the same layer ignore the slider? I know I can use a different zone for the external sound, but I'm using the same note range for both, and with only 4 zones available I'm trying to see if I can squeeze a bit more out of the stage setting. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It's probably best to use a different zone. Sliders are part of zones. They can't be assigned to different outputs without assigning zones to different outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob green Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Yeah, that's what I figured..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppin Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) a possibility... Set the slider on the zone to a MIDI CC that the tone doesn't use. On your receiving device, have the CC output from the PX read and control the external sound. For your external sound you would have to likely program it to respond in whatever way to the CC being transmitted. This depends on the programability of your external sound - can it receive any CC and assign it to control volume, for example? If not, you could use a bridge program like MIDI OX to receive the weird CC from the PX and convert that to a CC 7 or CC 11 before transmitting it to your external receiving device.

Seems feasible.....only stopping point would be that I don't know how flexible my receiving device (Nord Electro 3) is as far as reasigning CC #'s.....worth a shot though.......
