Re: [CWSG] GSI BURN and Half Moon ?
Mike, so what type of half moon are you
talking about ? I thought you were talking
about the half moon for the mojo.. Have you
built a half moon switch to control your
electro (by that I mean does it plug
directly into the electro?). If so yes I
think it will work.. Please clarify
thanks..

So then a Half Moon WILL WORK with a
Burn ?? It just takes a midi menu edit
to function ...... I play a Nord
Electro 3 ...and am more accustomed
and
very anal retentively used to the Half
Moon usage with my left hand ...
So to me Half Moon switching is a
major major point of if i buy a Burn
or not ...
thanks

Re: [CWSG] GSI BURN and Half
Moon ?
Mike,
Yes, my
understanding is
that this is the
case.. and JukeFox
was complaining
about this, but I
think that everyone
is forgetting that
you simply use midi
to control the
rotary speed from
the Mojo (or
whatever) to the
Burn.. So you plug
your halfmoon into
your mojo (as
normal) and you
simply plug a midi
cable from the mojo
out to the burn in,
and set the Burn to
respond to the Mojo
in the "midi
settings" section
(they have most
common clones
available to choose
from.. sk/nord/Korg
etc...), and you're
all set to go..
whenever you change
the halfmoon on the
mojo, it sends the
appropriate midi
controller message
to the Burn and it
response
accordingly.

Craig MacDonald

Re: [CWSG] Re:
Got my Burn
unit
Mark,
The
build quality
is good
however, when
you see it,
the idea of
using it as a
stomp box just
doesn't sit
right with
me.. I'm
going to have
to get a
remote control
for this thing
and/or control
it via midi
(the
easiest).
I
don't think
it's quite as
robust as the
Ventilator,
which has all
of the
controls
nicely
recessed. The
Burn has
an LED display
on top, along
with the big
rotary encoder
(black knob)
for controlling
parameters,
and both are
exposed just a
few inches
above the
stomp
switches.. I
can't help
thinking that
if I start
stomping on
this thing at
some point I'm
going to
damage the
rotary
encoder. So I
think I'll be
setting the
Burn on top of
my Mojo,
rather than
underneath
(actually with
midi and
presets you
can put it
anywhere)..
That said, I
wouldn't think
twice about
using the
Ventilator as
a stomb box,
but if you
don't have a
remote
control you
have to,
because it
doesn't allow
for midi speed
switching..
So
it's
reasonably
robust, but I
will probably
have it
sitting on top
of my Mojo
rather than on
the floor and
I will
probably be
using midi to
change speed
and presets
rather than
stomping on
it.
Regards,
Craig

How's the

of the unit?
My
Ventilator is
quite robust.
