Here is an abstraction for help controlling your SPS-1.

Did you ever try to look up a CC in the manual, only to find that horrible chart? Well this object drops right in to your patch, and allows you so instantly control any parameter of any machine by simply turning a knob.

There is one argument for SPS-1 Base Channel. 

There are two inputs for knobs to select drum, and parameter.

There are three outputs, for MIDI CC, MIDI Channel, and text feedback.

Hope it will help someone, I know it helps me.

Thanks. Now I have more time to make music instead :)

There is one bug, though. The message box connected to

the first inlet of select should be 16 (== 0x10).

DOH! Thanks Dave! Yes that should be a 16. This is an example of exactly why I made the patch!

I found this old thread on controlling my machinedrum params, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have made the patch below, but their are some bits not quite right. I would be gratefull for a few pointers if anyone has the time.

This thread is a blast from the past! What kind of trouble are you having? The patch is very simple, so there shouldn't be much to break.. My SPS was one of the oldest original ones, so maybe if you have a new one (user wave?), the midi stuff is different.

Yes I have a new sps-1 UW mkII. You are probable right. The midi for the params are probably different. I think I understood the concept of your patch OK, but the midi cc numbers diddn't match the params on the machinedrum. I'll have to think about it. Here I was thinking it was all done for me. Thanks for the concept though.

Do you have max5? If so did you open my patch to see if I was on the right lines?

Hi Earthman,

I got it. It took me 3 hours, but I got there. Here it is to share if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the idea. I have slightly modified it to my needs.

Filament, your patch doesn't seem to work with my MD, can you please explain how you work with it?
