Recording CC#11 controller

Post by jpg »

Hi,

I cannot find the way to record live CC#11/Expression Controller in a DP MIDI Track.
The only way I found is to draw Data in the Track with the Pencil Tool and then read the Track.
Sending CC#11 Controller while playing works fine with Kontakt VI, all instruments react perfectly.

Setup/Input Filter/Controllers : set to All
Setup/Event Chasing/Controllers : set to All
Setup/Automation Setup : everything Enable or set to All

Thanks a lot for your help !

Weird! Looks like everything is set correctly.

So, as you’re playing your keyboard, you’re hearing the effect of CC#11 but it’s not recording that data?

It should work. I do it all the time.

You may wish to call MOTU; since your VIs are responding to the CC data, it sounds like you have things set up properly. As Buzzy notes... weird!

I had a strange issue with CC64 some time ago. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62125&p=546503&hilit=CC64#p546158

MOTU's recommended approach was to trash DP's Preferences. Doing this may well resolve your issue for you. You can save the old Preferences Folder in the Trash; if its removal does not fix the problem, you can put it back (and thus restore all your User Preferences).

In my CC64 case, that did not work, nor did a complete removal/clean reinstall of DP. I had to create a new User Account on my Mac, which, once DP was installed, worked perfectly. I tried replacing DP Preferences in my new User Account with my old Preferences file, and the problem re-appeared. So the issue was clearly Preferences-related.

Good Luck!

- Yes, exactly.

@HCMarkus : "MOTU's recommended approach was to trash DP's Preferences"
- I'll try this.

Thank you guys for your kind help !
