Controlling mod matrix - one knob three parameters?

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Oberheim

So, I started working on an Oberheim matrix 1000 editor  and ran into problems with mod matrix. The Sysex string goes something like this:

10 06 0B <mod #>  <source> <value> <destination>

For source you have 1-20 things you can pick.

For destination, you have 1-30 or something.

This becomes a problem if you want to be able to set any combination of sources and destinations. You could set one source and destination in the code, hardwired so to speak. But there are a multitude of parameters that can be selected and modulated, so this ruins the point of the mod matrix.

Anyone know how to modify parameters with complex sysex like this?

Comments

in MD you've got Channel Changers and then value, so that's only two variables for now. In the future, we hope to offer more variables: this case is a great example of why.

For now, you could use channel changer to alter the mod#, but you'd need one knob for each source/destination pair, which is 20^50 controls... so that would be a lot.

Thanks!
