hello friends,
a question because i haven't found an answer.
is it possible in dp8, in a third part plug in, connect/mapping every parameter of a plug in to an external MIDI controller for automation? if this is possible, how could i do?
thanks Alessandro.

Re: plug-in parameters' automation
There are a few ways with different hardware and communication protocols.
I love and use my Novation SSL controller. It has tons of fades, buttons and knobs, and their software, Automap, just works! And if you don't like Automap, you can still use the "direct" mode without it.

They also sell a keyboardless unit with only the controlls.
I'm not sure there are many more options at this price range.
