I am thinking about getting few TEK2 to control effect plugin (ie Compressor) of Logic Pro.
I like the big knobs of TEK2.
If I place 3 TEK2 horizontally.
Can I program so that total of 6 rotary knobs controls parameters of a plugin (ie compressor), and pressing of a button on TEK2 will change the setting of rotary knobs that it control parameters of another plugin (ie EQ)?
I think you can do this by using 4 Banks but it limits to 4 plugins, so I was wondering if you could do that without using Bank change.
It would require some retrofitting of previously made configurations, but it would work exactly as you described it. It could over as many virtual banks as you have buttons potentially, but I guess just using one of the TEK2s as a bank-controller would be good enough with 8 banks of 6 knobs.
Thank you for reply.
That’s fantastic. And I did not know that there are 8 banks. I thought it was 4.
I did order three PO16 and one TEK2 last week, since 3 TEK setup did not come to my mind until I saw VSN1 and TEK set up picture.
I will order 2 more TEK when I receive this order, so It looks like I will have a lot of knobs to set up and play with.
I really don’t know if I will use banks route until I play with it, but could you please refer to which previous retrofitting configuration I should look into.
Once upon a time I’ve made a configuration called the 64CTRL for the EN16. At the same time I made a version of it for the TEK2, called the 16CTRL.
Both configurations give you multiple banks of CCs you can switch between by pressing the buttons on the module.
Later I updated the EN16 version only with remote bank switching and similar, but never merged those updates to the TEK2. Now it seems to be the time for this then!
It would give you 8 banks of 6 knobs, and you could use just one of those TEK2s for switching banks at any time without producing value jumps.
I’ll update you here when I find the time for the update, it shouldn’t take long.
Thank you so much for updating the configuration.
Great customer service!!
I have already ordered 3TEK2.
I am surprised that no body has asked for that functionality previously.
I guess from your web site it’s hard to tell TEK2 has this kind of functionality.
I feel you will sell more TEK2 if you state that clearly on the web.
I have one more question…
With this new config you are creating now, is it possible to use more than 8 banks.
I think there is a lot of demand for more that 8 Banks of few TEK2s.
For my usage for mixing, 3 TEK2 set up is fantastic, but
I would need 5 to 6 banks just for EQ.
1 bank (6 Knobs) to control just one EQ point (Frequency)
Frequency, 2. Gain, 3. Q, 4. Dynamic Range, 5. Slope (using fabfilter pro Q)
Say if I use high pass and low pass and 4 frequency points that’s 6 Banks.
I would like to control Compressor, Multiprocessor, De-esser, Reverb, Dealy, and Limiter so it would add up to quite alot Banks.
Well technically, you could go up to higher amounts of banks as well, but it would require more than one module.
In your case, with 3 modules it’s a given. I’ll try and make it work dynamically…
