Not really the ultimte. Ideally it should have a display for each knob and switch to show the parameter controlled as well as the current value of the parameter. Then the assignments of controls to could be user programmed or provided as templates for particular VSTi. It could also include the ability to assign SYSEX to control hardware synths. /Tristan On Thu, Nov 8th, 2018 at 8:21 AM, stephen watson via analogue <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: > Saw this on Marixsynth, wow what a controller for VSTs. > > https://www.matrixsynth.com/2018/11/rava-yamana-ultimate-vst-synthesizer.html > > > "The Rava Yamana - A USB midi controller specifically made for > VST-Synthesizers. > While most midi controllers are either designed in a one for all or mixer > specific design, this midi controller is for VST-Synthesizers.
