Hi. Potential buyer here.
Downloaded the editor but am not sure how it works exactly.
Is it possible to create a macro on the midi-side?
I want to control hardware with it. Thats why i am asking about several specific cc's being sent by 1 potentiometer/button/encoder/fader.
Is it possible to map multiple cc's/notes/keybindings to 1 potentiometer?

Hi,
you can add more midi block to the potmeter(or any control) to send more MIDI messages
Ah right, thank you! I was hoping that would work. It's quite unique for a controller to be able to do that afaik, but i didnt find any marketing or info on it. Thanks again!
For the TEK2, would it be possible to select which midi is actually sent by pressing one of the buttons? E.g. I would like to use the rotator to seek through 1 of 4 decks. This is the use-case: Press and release button 1 to select deck 1, turn to seek deck 1, press and release button 2 for deck 2, etc.
Per the posting guidelines, please open a new question for this one, happy to put then a tip there!
[Prospective Buyer] Hi, curious if there is an upper limit to the number of modules that can be stacked together with regards to total power consumption as well as bandwidth via USB-C?
I was looking at a 4 x 3 array of different types of modules built into one small console.
• 1 horizontal row of 4 x BU16
• 1 horizontal row of 4 x EN16
• 1 horizontal row of 4 x EF44
At 250 mA per module, it would represent a total of 3A DC. Can this be done with a single power supply of the appropriate rated strength?
And with a large number of these modules, would there be an increase in the latency (response to the movement of faders and knobs over USB) ?
Also wondering, if beyond what's listed above I also had a secondary unit with six additional modules, can the signals from the two different USB-C cables (one per cluster) be merged inside of a DAW like Ableton Live without requiring additional hardware to combine them before they reach the DAW?
Many other questions, such as specific ones regarding LED programmability, availability of the TEK2 and VSN-1, but these are less important for now.
At 8-10+ modules connected, we suggest to use an additional power supply (phone charger) plugged in to an interconnected Grid control surface.
For latency, the furthest module away from the USB connected module will have +1ms response time for each module to cross. So if you have a row of 4 modules, I would say the 4th module's extra latency in normal operation (sending out midi data) will be +4ms.
Grid's communication protocol was made with latency in mind, as they are often used in real time performances.
If you plugin 2 separate module clusters to a computer, they will appear as separate MIDI devices. Even though the two cluster might have the same CCs and channels, as they are identified as separate USB MIDI devices, there won't be overlaps. I assume you can handle their mappings in Ableton well.
If you have other questions, please open separate question posts, it's easier to follow them that way and others might find such questions and answers easier in the future!
