I often make a Generic Remote Map that is set to get input through a virtual MIDI port. You might also have better luck with a “Generic Remote Device” if this is something you need pretty much hard-wired at all times. If you need to do real time transformations of what your MIDI keyboard is sending (as per my transformer examples in earlier posts)…you can use a Virtual MIDI Port like loopMIDI to pipe things through a CuBase MIDI track first, and then into the Track Quick Controls Map. Now you can assign these 8 controllers where you want them on a per/track basis in each track’s “Inspector Panel” under the “Quick Controls” tab. Set the MIDI input to be from your MIDI keyboard/controller. Learn the “Track Quick Controls”, then you can assign up to 8 of them at a time on each Instrument/Output bus Track. In that case you might still be able to build up to 4 ‘local’ MIDI transformers per track. So, I need to set up my track MIDI transformers to convert whatever my pedal is sending (CC67 in this case) to the CC22 values I desire.įinally, some versions of CuBase might not have the option to apply transformer to a Track MIDI Insert. In this case I only need to figure out that tremolo can be automated for this instrument via CC22. Some Libraries, like the one shown below give a visual indicator as to what CC a control listens for, while some might only provide that information in the library’s documentation or help menu. ARIA Player does not link in with the VST automation system of a DAW, but there are plenty of hard set controls we can manipulate with CC events. Note, some plugins do not support learning a CC in this manner, but do have fixed CC values you can use to automate controls via MIDI events. If My keyboard could not do that I personally would use some control other than an on/off type pedal…either a continuous pedal, toggle button, slider, or pot, etc. Note, if I wanted a toggle foot switch instead of a momentary type (one I do not have to ‘hold the pedal’), then in my case I would just program it into the MPK261 itself as a toggle rather than a held type controller. So, I’ll add a couple of “Transformers” in the MIDI Inserts tab of the track. I want it to send a value of 11 when I let it up. I want it to send a value of 34 when I stomp and hold it. In this example I have assigned a stomp on/off pedal plugged into my AKAI MPK261 keyboard to CC67. If your pedal only sends 0 for off, and 127 for on, you can use MIDI Insert track transformers, or a Local track transformer to convert the CC events to the desired values before they get forwarded to the plugin VST automation system. When I let the pedal go it jumps back to 0%. In this case, I can now see that when I stomp and hold my left pedal the Tremolo Rate knob jumps to 100%.

Right click the control you wish to control with your pedal in the Plugin Interface, choose “Learn CC”, then stomp your pedal. Provided your plugin supports VST automation this method should work in your plugin as well.Īrm the track hosting your Leslie plugin by activating the record or monitor button. I do not own the plugin in question, but here is an example of modulating the tremolo amount with HALion Sonic SE between two fixed values using an on/off type of foot pedal. I don’t know the plug-in you have, but I’d think this should work. Whatever control you assign will be locked to the QC physical control (pot/slider) is assigned to your QCs.Īlso, you can select “show automation track” for an item and then assign a QC to that track, or use the pen to draw in the track. You may have to set Min/Max values for these items.Īctivate the QC’s then remove the settings, click “L” for learn, select a QC slot, then move a control on the plug-in or instrument.

Multiple controls on the plug-in/instrument can be learned and assigned to the mod wheel so it controls several items at once. Selected Learn CC then Move a control on your controller and it will lock to that function, mod wheel to control rotary speed for example. Right click on a control of the instrument or plug-in with mouse, the menu has “midi learn” or assign to CC.

There must be someone who understands how to use the midi learn functions in Cubase? But maybe not with TRacks - which suppose might be the difficulty.
