REGELWERK is a professional tool to generate any
MIDI data by means of 24 faders with 48 related buttons and LEDs (2 buttons and 2 LEDs for
each fader). But REGELWERK is much more than a so-called "MIDI fader box" though
it as well carries out what you would expect from such a unit. On top of that REGELWERK is
able to work as an 8-track analog and pattern sequencer and it is possible to combine the
features of the fader box and the sequencer at the same time (e.g. 8 faders with fader box
features and 16 faders for generating a sequence).
The fader box features include standard functions like assignment of any MIDI data type to
the faders and buttons (e.g. any controller, after-touch, note-on/off, velocity,
program-change, Sys-Ex) as well as functions like Solo, Mute, Master, Total Recall,
Overdup, HookOn. For example you may program the unit as a real-time editor for any other
MIDI equipment by assigning the required MIDI events to the faders and buttons.
In addition REGELWERK is suitable to generate pattern-based musical structures like
rhythmic trigger patterns, analog sequences and other rhythmic structures. The immediate
access to important controlling parameters lead to completely new rhythmic and sequencing
applications especially for improvisations and live events.
Here some important features in catchwords for the "Fader-Box" Mode
List
of compatible devices and programs
- function for each fader/button in clear words in the
display (not only numbers or cryptic codes)
- LED blinking frequency proportional to the distance
of the desired/stored value
- Different actualizing modes: immediate with
adjustable threshold, relative (to stored value), catch (stored value has to be crossed)
- Sys-Ex strings with a maximum length of at least 30
bytes, the fader controlled byte can be set anywhere within the string
- Definition of maximum and minimum value of the
fader-generated value (including inverted characteristics)
- Manipulation of incoming MIDI-events (e.g.
controlling the velocity of incoming note-events with one of the faders)
- Possibility of fader groups with master-fader
- typical applications of the buttons: sending any
MIDI event (including Sys-Ex string), different events for press and release possible
(e.g. note on/note off), actual fader value can be used for the event (e.g. velocity for
note on/off), sending of actual fader value, mute, demute, solo
- Auto-learn mode (learning of assigned MIDI event via
MIDI In)
- copy/move fader/button parameters
- Sampling frequency of faders is adjustable
- 64 presets for the assignement of all faders and
buttons, when calling-up a preset any MIDI string can be sent
- 64 pattern for the assignment of all sequencer
parameters (patterns are compatible with SCHALTWERK)
- all 64 presets and 64 patterns could be send
/received over SysEx
- 128 snapshot memories (momentary values of alle
faders and buttons)
Here some features in catchwords for the
"Sequencer" Mode:
- analog and trigger sequencer functions (similiar but
reduced compared to SCHALTWERK and MAQ16/3)
- 8 tracks of 16 steps (only one track can be seen and
edited at a time)
- controls for a track: up to 16 buttons and LEDs
- setting/resetting of steps by pressing the
corresponding button while the pattern is running, resulting in lively structures
changeable in real time
- display of the active steps and the actual step
- the following parameters can be controlled in real
time with the faders of the sequence-section: note number, note velocity, end step (i.e.
length of the track) and many more
- synchronisation internal/external (via MIDI clock or
SYNC socket)
- MIDI and CV/Gate outputs at the same time
General features:
- 2 MIDI In, 2 MIDI Out, SYNC (Roland compatible)
- 8 CV outputs (3.5 mm miniature jack sockets),
function only in sequencer mode, range: 0...+5V, 1V/Octave characteristics
- 8 Gate outputs (3.5 mm miniature jack sockets),
function only in sequencer mode, voltage gate 0/+5V light grey 19" case, 5 height
units
- 24 faders (60mm), 72 buttons, 56 LEDs, 2-line
LC-display, rotary encoder for data input
- optically similiar to SCHALTWERK, MAQ16/3, A-100,
MS-404, MCV24 and so on

look on the english manual.
Actual Hints/Notes :
Also you could update your device if you download
the actual
software version and if you could burn a new EPROM 27C512 by yourself.

The
readers of the German magazine KEYS
lifted the REGELWERK to positon 1 as the product
of the year 2001 in the category MIDI Controller. Thank you very much !
We
are very proud of this award as it is the reader's choice. Of course we
will continue to develop new devices in this category. Look at our brand
new MIDI Controllers POCKET FADER and POCKET
DIAL.
