Tetra + Faderfox EC4 - NRPN mapping

Tetra + Faderfox EC4 - NRPN mapping
« on: February 18, 2024, 03:45:26 PM »
Hi everybody,

I am using a Faderfox EC4 to control my Tetra, and am having an issue that several seem to have had: if i try to control a voice parameter via NRPN from a knob on the Faderfox, the value of the parameter goes from 0 to 127, nothing in between. I have searched previous posts on this issue but have not seen a solution, unless I am mistaken. Any pointers on how to solve this issue would be really appreciated. Thank you!

I would suggest that you check what MIDI messages the Faderbox sends and check how Tetra responds to these messages. Also please check the global settings of your Tetra.

Good luck!

Hi, I've figured it out today. You've to switch Faderfox display mode to 1000 or 9999. When in the lower number modes, the NRPN messages increase by multiples of 128. Only when the display mode is switched to higher resolutions, the NRPNs increment / decrement by 1.
