Novation Peak CC Definition

Hey there,
I’m really excited by this new Definitions file option and I will certainly be sharing my files here as I take the time to create them one by one over the next few weeks!

Here’s my list of all Novation Peak CC messages.

Disclaimer:
The Peak uses a clever MIDI trick to allow finer control of the parameters, by assigning 2x CC messages to 1x parameter, allowing for 0-255 instead of just 0-127.
This works in practice by having the 1st CC message = 0-127 and the 2nd CC message = 128-255
For any parameters that traditionally have a unity point at the 12 o’clock position (eg, CC 64), you can imagine that the 1st CC assignment controls a negative value and the 2nd CC assignment controls a positive value.
To differentiate these positive/negative double-up messages, I have included < in the name for negative and > for positive.
These symbols are rendered on the Pyramid as little up and down triangles.
Due to the restrictions in character count & the above mentioned use of < and > I have subsequently removed all other symbols that are included in the official parameter names.
A = AMP
MXR = MIXER
F = FILTER

The list is sorted by parameter groups and not by CC # to make it easy to modify in bulk.

wow, this is great!

Thanks for making this!
Can’t seem to get my Peak to react to the automation I send it.
Anything specific to be aware of?

Guys, I am so new to this , and I would like to learn and really enjoy my instruments. Please help me by telling me how I should load the instrument definition into my pyramid. Is it by copying and pasting the text into the SD card, then loading it into my pyramid? I see a lot of pyramid definitions texts, but I am so sure how to do it, sorry guys, please help.

You create a file called “def.txt” copy and paste the text above or from other definitions listed on here to it. Set the midi channels in the file how you see fit for each of your instruments. Put the file on the root of the SD card when you are done. Call each definition by following the instructions in the manual.

thx, this one clearly took some work!

don’t you have this problem of CCs 120 & 123 being send from the Pyramid to the Peak wich reacts with modified Env-Release?

Did you solve that?

Hi Alemaas,
I think it might’ve been my Pyramid who’s been a bit funky when it comes to definition files and output B. I don’t own my Peak anymore, so can’t test further sorry!

Seems i m having some issue on the b din too.
Since i put the novation peak there the novation monostation do not respond any longer to program change or ramdomly and also the peak sometimes but i have to check better.
First thing i thought was because they are both novation the message get confused between the 2 devices but i have to investigate this.
