Midi Mapping in VCV Rack 1.0

Published on Jul 2, 2019 Omri Cohen

"One would think that the new Midi mapping feature in VCV Rack 1.0 will start and end with using an external controller and mapping it to different parameters in VCV Rack, but oh boy, this is just the beginning. Midi mapping opens a whole new world of modulation and patching that was not available before. Yes, sure, you can now map your controller to almost anything in VCV, even if it has no CV input, but you can also modulate almost anything with other modules as well, even if what you want to modulate has no CV input, and you can also record and create automation and unique modulations, and again, assign them to almost anything in VCV. So in this video, I start with mapping an external controller, and then I use the Stoermelder modules that allow us to use Midi mapping to map other modules as well.

"VC FX Bus Switch / 10-Ch Active Audio Sub-Mixer

Infusor-X lets you switch between your effects modules on the fly – in timing w/ your groove.
Plug in a signal on channel 1.
And get back 7 (active) buffered multiples of that signal.
Now send those signals to 7 of your favorite effects.
And patch your 7 effects returns into channels 2-8.
Use the Channel Select buttons to switch between the dry channel 1, and the 7 effects return channels.
Whatever channel you select, it will go to the output one-at-a-time.
Also, plug in a 0-5v control voltage to automate switching between the channels.
The CV switching breakpoints are user-programmable.
That is the SWITCHER mode.

Oh. And in MIXER mode, the Infusor-X becomes a straightforward 10-Channel Audio Sub-Mixer.

Both modes feature:
8 level sliders (-inf to +3dB gain),
8 mute / channel select buttons
8 pan pots.
A pair of auxiliary L/R inputs on channels 9/10.
Just for your favorite synth or drum machine.
And stereo output.

Infusor-X is destined to groove you.

"Once you get the keys sorted out on this one, you'll have a JD800 that will continue to increase in value. Anyways it works but has the very common red glue issue on the keys. Few keys still works but most doesn't. It has to be entirely refurbished. 3 of the metal key weights are missing (I'll include 3 keys from a D70). If you have done your research you probably know about this already. Works as a sound module. All control button, sliders, outputs works as it should. Shows minor marks/scratches mostly on the bottom panel. Includes gig bag (not perfect but good enough) + power cord only."
