As mentioned in other posts
I work with different teams of people with varying levels of tech knowledge but excellent players. I have encouraged them to buy s61, s61 mk2 etc in the past...
I have stopped doing that now and instead recommend arturia as unfortunately, the promise of KK remains unanswered/unrealised without instrument layering etc it renders the screens utterly useless and the money saved goes towards good libraries instead of the cut down frustrations...Im not trolling Im just pointing out what happens with half baked products by any mfg
BUT
For those that are already committed, I normally prepare fairly complex patching etc for particular songs etc because its painful and impossible to do for them. I have a standard system of mapping controllers so the underlying paradigm remains the same regardless of controller. (currenly Im just using kore player housed in KK which works for the most part; VIP is being migrated as it does the job ok but once again, paying out for what should already be in the package)
This brings me to the point that Im setting up eg s88 mk2 and need to be able to be offline and create the midi editor maps from KK (well also from controller editor for mk1) but there seems to be no way to do this? I cant physically plug one in and shouldnt need to.
Why?
Arturia midi command centre is analogous and similar but allows me to create everything and share it with the users? Disappointing comparison
Any ideas?
I also setup churches etc whereby the same thing is applied ie there is a host computer in house, the players just bring in their keys (and sometimes a controller to sit on top that is mapped to the same) and usb in...the host is connected either usb/dante to the mixer and we use good quality active usb from keys host. This would allow me to make updates etc available when they plug in.
