using the mpc4k lfo to control kore2

actually, mcsmooth knows exactly what i'm trying to do, and he answered my question about the mpc4k.

thanks for the tip on the Bitstream 3X. never heard of this thing before, but it does look pretty useful.

i want to use the mpc's LFO to control kore. or atleast get the lfo to modulate q-link after i assign the q-link to control what ever i want in kore via midi learn. if kore had an assignable LFO to begin with, i would have never posted this topic at all.

kore it self does not have any LFO's you can assign to control anything. but that doesn't matter anymore since i discovered all the the sounds are coming from a VST afterall... i can just go into the VST, and mess w/the LFO's there. worst case scenario, i can just sample into emulator x2, and take it from there.

remember, kore is not a synth. it's a host. a lot of the parameters that you can control in kore is actually controling the VST, not kore itself. say you're playing a patch from massive inside kore. you start rotating the knob labeled "cutoff" in kore... you're actually modifying massive's cutoff filter, not any filter that kore comes with.

kore doesn't have a mod matrix like the mpc. it has a sound matrix, or what ever they call it... but it's definately not a mod matrix like the mpc, or patchchords type set up like emulator.

Kore is an controller, qlink is an controller, matrix is where you can assign controllers. But an lfo isn`t a controller per see like stated before it is an modulater that can be controlled by a controller. The knobs, sliders, buttons and whatnots are controllers hence is why you cannot send the 4k`s lfo to the lfo within the programs within Kore 2. Kore 2 is more like the Multi setup on the 4k whereas you can assign as many programs to channel to be controller by the hardware controller of the Kore 2.

Any software operates the same way. The keyboard is a controller, pad is a controller, knobs are controllers and etc. But like you say Kore is an controller/multi with Massive as an instrument aka program. Therefor you should skip Kore and just assign the qlink directly to massives lfo in the modulation page just like I do battery`s with my 4k. I don`t own Kore 2 you do so you should have known this.
