Yeah, I looked this up in my book which is for Cubase 5 but it didn't mention anything about the specific plugin cc message type automation...
Presumably if you want to control a plugin via Midi it has to have it's own midi track in the editor? Either none of my plugins are compatible or that isn't how it works ;) .. cheers for the info.. Nick p.s. So you can program EQ sweeps using the 'read' and 'write' automation method? You HAVE to do it by hand though right? -----Original Message----- From: Terry Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 April 2002 13:11 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Automating plugins in Cubase & Reason..? Nick, Cubase: It depends on the plugin. Some accept midi cc messages and these can be "drawn in" on the 'Controller' screen or at the bottom of the edit page. Otherwise you can record knob movements etc. in much the same way as you can record normal notes, except that you must click the "write" button on the VST mixer to record them. Click the "read" button when playing back. I also remember something about going to the midi setup dialog and checking "record sysex"..... Things you can automate: For each channel and group: Volume. Pan. Mute. Solo. EQ on button. Setting for the 4 EQ modules. 8 x Send effect active switches. 8 x Send effect levels. 8 x Send effect pre switchs. Effect dry swicth. 4 x Insert effect prog selection (audio channels 1-32 only) 4 x Insert effect parameters (the first 15 for each effect, audio channels 1 - 32 only) For ALL channels: Master Volume left and right. 8 x Send effect master level. 8 x Send effect prog selection. 8 x xSend effect parameters (the first 16 for each effect) 4 x Master effect prog selection 4 x Master effect parameters (the first 8 for each effect). As you can prolly guess I just copied that out of a book :D the book was written for VST 4 so I guess these MAY have changed but I doubt it.
