The Basics
What is the Drehbank?
The

Doepfer
Drehbank is a user definable Midi control unit with 64 rotary
control knobs.
Any midi event can be assigned to any control knob. Each knob lets you control
Midi events in the form of Midi-strings. You can control simple events like volume,
reverb, panorama, etc., or you can create complex SysEx strings.
The setting of each control knob is stored in a preset. A preset is organized into
two interchangable banks, each containing 64 control knob functions. The presets
are normally created in the Drehbank editor, stored on a PC, and from there sent
to the Drehbank
.
You can store a preset in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) of the Drehbank. So
that the PC editor program can have a little snooze as soon as the preset is stored
in the memory of the Drehbank.
