No midi feedback and no midi physical connection, it would be awesome if you could remember! I'm sure it's a little stupid setting somewhere.
Luminite Graviton M1 MIDI Controller
- Thread starter holoholo
- Start date
Here we are, thanks to Luminite support I was able to investigate further and found that there was a midi feedback set specifically for the Graviton. The fact that this was happening just when sending midi messages from the Graviton and not from other devices (the same midi message I mean) made me think it was a specific setting on the Graviton, while it was a setting in Loopypro, assigned specifically to the Graviton.
Thank you everybody for your time and support, time to go back creating new settings...

You should be able to program it to do whatever you want from the Devices -> Footswitches menu.

For the EC Controller, do the knobs move smoothly, as if it were an infinitely rotating potentiometer, or are they like a rotary switch with little resistance? I'd like to use the EC like an expression pedal, as mentioned in the manual. To be clear, I'd be using the EC with the M2, and I'd want to control expression pedal inputs on my Axe-FX III. The only reason I'm asking about how the knobs move is, I see that it also sends MIDI CC messages, which is how I imagine most people would use them, and those are always going to be stepped, so I wasn't sure if the knobs themselves are stepped for that reason.
I believe you have one of these, @- ★ - BROCKSTAR - ★ - ?

Not anymore. Been awhile, but i got too frustrated with it lol. I have been thinking about getting the stuff back again sometime, maybe.
I never got the EC up and running before I got rid of it because I just couldn't get it working for me. I had asked for help and waited awhile but by time I got email from them i had it gone.

You don't remember if the movement of the knobs was smooth, do you? I just can't tell if it would be stepped or not.

From what I remember it was like turning any guitar knob.

M2 in da house!
Impressive build quality, includes a fancy usb-c to usb-a cable, intuitive UI.
Updating the firmware was a breeze. I entered my wifi creds and
, update completed in less than a minute.
It's actually a little smaller than I expected, but no issues for me with switch spacing.
Next, I'm going to try wirelessly controlling my Mark VII using a WIDI dongle.

The EC Controller knobs are "infinitely rotating" with 20 "clicky" detents per rotation.

Ah, thanks very much for that! I'm instantly thinking of the Axe-FX III small knobs on the front panel, which sound like exactly the same thing. I don't think you're a Fractal player, so you might not have familiarity with those particular knobs. Does the EC Controller motion feel smooth enough to use in place of an expression pedal? I.e., are the detents of a pretty low resistance, easy enough to turn through?

I was fortunate to be among the first to get an AxeFX III back in March of 2018.
The EC knobs have quite a bit more "slop" and more "click" between detents. It's definitely not as smooth as the Fractal, but I have not used them to control anything yet. I'm still labeling CCs for my devices.
I'll post an update after I get my initial configuration up and running.

Interesting. I think I may be misreading what you're saying, but are you saying they move more easily than the Fractal small knobs, but each detent maybe clicks into place more solidly? Sorry, I feel like I'm saying two contradictory things here haha.
I'm reconsidering if I want to deal with Luminite anyway. I wrote them through their chat window on May 4, and by today, May 9, they still haven't responded. That's not a good omen for customer service.

I'll try to be more precise. I am referring the amount of backlash between clicks as "slop". They both perform in a similar manner, but the Fractal knobs feel like a Lexus, while the EC knobs feel like a Toyota.
As for configuration, you can set a min, max, and step value. So if you use the defaults of 0/127/1, it takes over 6 complete rotations to go from min to max. I expect its viability as an expression pedal replacement comes down to the actual target device & parameter(s).
I'm liking this thing more and more the deeper I go.

Thanks very much for that! This does help immensely. I would love to use the EC Controller in place of my guitar volume knobs, to ride the EC while I play, but instead of the relatively crude control of the former, I would link the EC to several different modifiers in the Axe-FX III to control really precisely how the tone sounds overall at different levels of gain.
I do not like 7-bit MIDI for this kind of purpose, because that allow only 128 steps, so I would eschew CC commands for voltage change commands, which I assume to be in a finer resolution. I see that the specs for the EC's voltage change resolution are not published, so I don't know how fine if a control I could get.
I did just hear back from the company with my initial question, but I still can't tell how fine of a resolution you can get for voltage commands, so I'll ask directly and post here.
Thanks again!

You are welcome.
I sent an email to Luminite support last night after I my most recent post with an EC feature request, and I received a response within 6 hours.
If you still have questions, it may be wirth reaching out again.

That's good to know. Maybe their chat window isn't the best way to contact them in that case.

Devices configured, now time to cable up and build some presets.
