Update: two additional notes:
- CC's also work when the unit is in the "Stack"/Split mode, as well as when it is in midi mode 4 (multitimbral).
- MIDI CC receive only.
This is pretty incredible news. The SCI Multi-Trak offered a velocity sensitive keyboard which the Six-Trak lacked, however the Six-Trak supported MIDI CC which allowed you to use external controllers to edit its parameters. The Multi-Trak lacked CC so you could only edit it directly. This upgrade will finally bring MIDI CC support to the Multi-Trak and the CCs will match the Six-Trak with the addition of a few extra parameters only found on the Multi-Trak. If you have both synths and/or a TaunTek upgraded Max, you should be able to edit them at the same time which should be interesting for layering and editing patches. You'll also be able to do some decent A/B tests between the synths set to the same parameters.
Video Description and link to more details:
-Midi CC parameter control for all parameter matching the Six-Trak & Max.
-Midi CC control has been code optimized for better performance.
-Additional 4 midi cc parameters LFO, VCA & VCF velocity sensitivity amount + a special request to unlock the multiplier on the VCO envelope.
-VCO envelope now has a multiplier via cc#43 to achieve 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x & 16x original depth allowing for more diverse percussive (synth drum) & sfx type patches.
-Two sets of factory patches are now embedded in ROM and can be loaded holding down a button on power up.

This project was built upon development of a SCI Max upgrade Bob Grieb and I also worked on which gives this oft looked over lil' brother of the Multitrak & Sixtrak a new lease on life. http://www.tauntek.com/SCIMax.htm
Thanks + Congrats to Mr. Grieb for making a fantasy reality for many Multitrak owners.

*P.S mind you ears/speakers, this synth noodling uses a lot of the cross-mod feature of the CEM3394."
