I´m refering to an external midi modulation with – for convenience – a internal hub between tracks. The Idea behind this is, apart from beeing open for recorded data or midi-lfos ect, is being able to build a network of ZAQs for batteling with other zaqinists or keeping a wall of interacting ZAQs just for yourself. Just one additional parameter (x8) is required: alpha and beta output routing, with 0=original,1-16=channelnumber/output-port fixed to A,17-20=internal track routing. On the input side we have channel independent target controllers for global parameters like user scale changes or channel dependent targets for track manipulations like repeat-control, scale or add. A button combination (reset plus …) to reset all external controllers would be usefull too.
