Hi @zynthianers!

Those of you having a Behringer MOTÖR are lucky. I just pushed a new driver for it.

This driver is very focused in stage control of setBfree and Pianoteq engines. If you want to control the mixer and the zynthian UI, you should use the Mackie driver instead. Indeed, you can load both drivers at same time because the device has separated MIDI ports for Mackie and MIDI control. Use the “MC” button to switch between MIDI and Mackie modes.

The driver implements bidirectional control of the setBfree drawbars using the motorized faders.
The master fader is used to control the setBfree global volume. Mod wheel for the rotary. Other setBfree parameters can be controlled with knobs 1-4 (highest pitched DB, percussion, vibrato and reverb). Pianoteq is controlled with knobs 5-8 (volume, dynamics, reverb mix, reverb duration).

Finally, the mode enforcer is also included and can be controlled with the pads, as notes. The pads, as Prg Change, can be used normally for ZS3s.

You can read all the details in the wiki:

Enjoy!

Hi lucky MOTÖR owners!

I recorded a little video demo with my MOTÖR 61 and the new driver:

Excuse my poor video edition skills and still poorer playing :blush:
Anyway, the main goal for this video is showing the MOTÖR’s faders controlling the setBfree drawbars, and still better, moving magically when loading presets … ohhh yes!! :nerd_face: :rofl:

Enjoy!

Hi @jofemodo!

Although definitely I’m not an electric organ guy, your obvious enthusiasm for the freshly implemented control driver of your Behringer Motör keyboard is simply intoxicating! :smiley:

It looks like a nice and sturdy piece of hardware: the feature of instant recall of the CC parameters’ state on faders and pots is just genius. I can easily see many enticing applications for synths, with the appropriate drivers

As a side note, I simply don’t get the widespread Internet hate for Behringer’s products: they are getting better and better lately, both in excellent recreations of instruments of the past and new in-house original designs. I have got some of their newer products during the last couple of years, and they are impeccably built and very well-sounding across the board.

Cheers :rainbow: (and have much organ fun, of course!)
