Hi there folks,

I've been experimenting with realtime midi control using csound, but i
have encountered a problem, which is:-

If i want to control a number of oscillators (or any other kind of
'unit') via midi, i quickly find myself running out of controllers, so i
was wondering if it is possible to define 1 controller as a type of
'shift' key, to select each generator and then use others to vary the
properties of the generator like so:

	cont 1	 cont 2
osc1	pitch	amplitude 	controller '0' selects which oscillator
osc2	pitch	amplitude  	controllers 1 and 2 control pitch/amp

would it be at all possible that i could patch the midi signal through
zak space, and then, when no midi signal is received the 'oscillator'
would read from the last values stored in zak space. This could allow
multiple uses for each controller (providing the min/max values are the
same)and so reducing the need for endless controllers. I'm equating this
with many harware synths that use this system to minimise the front
panel.

Apologies for the long winded explanation.

thanks,

P@
