Thanks Dan, but you know MD Pro is a bit like the Plutionian Spaceship found floating in space. It sure looked to be parsecs ahead in technology, just nobody knew which lever was doing what ;-). So all they were able to do was to make it roll and smile ;-).
Look, the key problem of Midi is that there are many different midi implementations out there, some pretty well documented, others not. My Korg M3 OpG is some 250 pgs, the reference manual 670 pages, Kontakt5 another ton, but the Midi implimentation is well represented. Others are not so good like the Fishman. You are always dealing with multiple devices, Ports, Channels, often differences in how CC's are handled, different midi functionality in different modes, timing/syncronizing tasks and decisions.
This is NOT MUSICIAN STAFF. Very clearly not. Maybe if you just want to change patches n 2 banks with volume and a few effects and just between two devices.
Most people these days are pretty good working with manuals. I have all of them open (or open at request) in Preview in the background. Searchable.
That's not the same as having to guess in which of the MD demo videos and tutorial this subject can be found. Its very disruptive too when you have to watch 2 videos about a subject where all you need is 1% of the info.
I know how much creative people hate to document instead of being creative. I always hated it when I still was programming and the time of code docs and user docs came up. But its very good for the product because this is the first time the creator has to commit to how he thinks the user will get to the cherries.
Anyhow, I can just encourage you to get this reference manual going as soon as possible.
For users like me this is simply about time. Every two years I come back to try if I can get it set up as it would be really great for the studio. We'll see, I'll have two more days until the end of the year then I need to attend some other priorities. Been on this for too long already and then usually I flick the switch and hug my acoustic.
