I've sent this message about three times.. does anybody know how to
get the data entry slider on the TG77 to act as a local controller? If not,
does anybody know of any Yamaha support group/node?..

I may not quite understand your intent, but if you wish to assign the data
slider as a controller on the "controller" edit page, simply do so - it is
controller #06 I believe. No different than assigning one of the mod wheels
or anything else. That's all it takes. Were you trying to do something
else?

Sorry, Jamie, it's just the nature of electronic mailing lists. If no one
answers, it usually means we're all clueless as to how to solve the problem.

Subscribe to sy-list@chorus.fr which can be done via a message to:
I believe ...
I get mail from both lists & from this message's subject line had assumed
it was posted to the "sy-list" instead of "emusic-l" .... When I saw J.
McMahon's name on a TG77 message I was curious ... :-)
I don't know the answer to your question ... but someone on the sy-list might.
Good luck,
Brian

I tried that, and it didn't work.. When you're in voice mode, I'm playing
hopscotch with the slider and nothing is happening..
Frustrated..

It might not work in all modes though (I'm not sure). I have an SY55 and
the data slider only works as a local controller in 'voice play' mode,
ie not in the multi-mode (because it's used for other parameters in that).
Has anybody tried accessing the "+/Yes" and "-/No" buttons via midi using
either controllers or sys-ex ?

Well, I finally looked up the slider on the midi specs sheet, and lo
and behold!: The damn thing receives controller #6, but the slider doesn't t
transmit!!! Damn.. Well so much for design.. Thanks for the advice anyways..

I have tried to send data slider messages from the TG77 to Cakewalk while
recording (that is, just slip-slidin' up and down), and have not received
any CC messages in the event window. I really don't think the Data Slider
does jack in terms of "real-time control": it's just for changing values
in edit mode. I've read the manual ( believe it or not!!) and never noticed
anything of this sort mentioned.(page 29)
I have been able to "capture" the Bulk Protect Off message and send it before
sending the other SysEx parameters for a song. That feature is all I've
noticed in terms of button-pushingactivated SysEx messages.

Sounds like a difference between the TG and the SY: on the SY77 the data
slider most certainly is functional as a continuous controller for SY patch
parameters.

The midi implementation sheet indicates that the data slider doesn't transmit
a thing.. oh well..

The data slider can initiate a string of Sysex info, so if your
sequencer has realtime transform on the input, you can map the sysex
to whatever continuous controller you need. I just tried it with
Notator, and it worked fine. It will create interruptions in the music,
if the TG is your sound source.

Anyone,
Why is it that I can't get the Data Entry slide on the TG77 to
controller LFO, pan, etc. Is it incapable of controlling itself? Please
help, I can't afford at midi slider board, and desperately need real-time
control...
