MX4 mod wheel (filter automation)

Post by ec_pat5150 »

Hello everyone! I've recently started using Digitai Performer to make electronic music, and i'm seeking some help with MX4.

How do i make automated filter effects with MX4? Forgive me if my terminology is incorrect, but it's that beloved "build up" effect on synths that is used by lots of famous dudes.

R-click on the parameter you want and select "Learn Controller Mapping". Use your controller of choice and MX4 will follow along.

This is sorta kinda standard procedure with a lot of plugs. Along with the "Enable Learn Mode" (keyboard icon in the DP plug window), it usually gets the job done.
