I roll them up, tie them around themselves and put them in a box.

When the need arises I spend a few minutes swearing profusely while looking for, then untangling, the one I'm after.

Hi,

I watched that video a few days back and drowned in nostalgia, though I was an Amiga chap rather than an ST one.

Has the SH-32 arrived yet?

I've had a look at Chapter 8 of the manual, Using the SH-32 with External MIDI Devices, the MIDI Implementation sheet¹ and the Sound On Sound review: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/roland-sh32

Per the Sound On Sound review:

Real-Time Control Over MIDI

The SH32 transmits much of its control panel information in real time, and you can select whether it does so using MIDI continuous controllers or SysEx messages. You can even allocate an ID to the unit so that, if you have multiple SH32s, you can control each of them separately. This is excellent, and allows you to record knob twiddles and other changes in real time, and then recreate the performances using an external sequencer.

Given the amount of information that can be sent from/received by the SH-32 it could take a lot of setting up in the DAW but there doesn't seem to be much that the DAW couldn't control.

¹ They're both available on the Roland website: https://www.roland.com/uk/support/by_product/sh-32/owners_manuals/
