This was set up to a degree with General MIDI 2, and I've found a -lot- of synths in the past that follow it - even to the point of implementing LSB on other controllers that are not part of the standard. This is in the murky past, however, maybe 20 years+ ago...
- vortico 7y agoCC MSB/LSB is still my absolute least favorite method because you have to tell customers to manually set up their DAW/synth to handle each command, or to load a preset/config that does this for them. Of course, customers are going to mess this up, so you end up with lots of tech support issues of the form "I moved a knob on my controller, and it's setting both CC 7 Volume and CC 39, which I've already configured to control filter attack."
