micromodul is a system of controllers: single controllers which are easily combinable and expandable
to create a complete system. Just connect the instruments with their midi interfaces, and the system is
ready for use.
The instruments are normally connected from right to left. That means the midi-out slot for the
instrument to the right should go into the midi-in slot of the instrument on the left. Repeat this as often
as required to connect all your midi-controllable instruments.
An important point when combining the
LV1 and LX1 is the order in which they are connected. If you
want to control these instruments in a useful manner, the
LV1 should be after the LX1 in the midi
chain – so, connect the
midi out on the LX1 to the midi in on the LV1.
Controllers that accept commands must always be after controllers which send commands through the
midi chain.
A midi loop is not needed. That means the midi in on the first instrument is not connected to the
computer. Other than this item, the connection order and placement order is totally up to you.
Working with two micromodul LX1’s
Multiple
micromodul controllers are an
especially attractive solution when working with
the
Live sequencer. LX1 was conceived to work
with other controllers. You can comfortably
control 16 tracks with two
LX1’s – on one, an
encoder to select the tracks and on the other,
browse through the slots. All this, and you still
have quick access to all track and/or slot
functions for every track. In addition, the
keyboard mode is transmitted – meaning, the
keyboard mode is identical on both controllers,
if the switching takes place on the
LX1 to the
right.
Combining the LX1 and the micromodul LV1
Of course, using both the
LV1 and the LX1 is
the perfect configuration. The
LV1 controls all
of the pot and fader parameters as well as
additional joystick and cross-fader functions.
The
LX1 is then responsible for all of the
switching functions.
The encoder on the
LX1 can control the track-
select on the
LV1. This means separately
selecting the tracks and slots is possible without
first switching – exactly the same as if you had
two
LX1’s. This is because you have two
encoders ready for use.
