Linking MIDI to automation?

Post by Lava Couch »

Hi all, long time lurker here.

I was wondering if there's a way to link a MIDI controller to an audio plug-in parameter. Specifically, I'm trying to link the frequency control of the multimode filter to a MIDI controller. I've tried several things, but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas?

TIA

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, which leaves us out of luck for hands on control if the plugin can't be automated via MIDI. I realize automation is much higher resolution but some DAW's do allow you to do this.

also VEP. Its not helpful for DP's plugs, but I host all my external plugins in Vienna Ensemble pro which does allow this.

Thanks for the response. Good idea about using another program, I think I'll have to set-up something similar in Reaktor in order to do this.
