Ok it looks like with a project open, you go to File, then Close Arrangement Editor. Then you can access the project-specific plugin database.

I’ve found it’s possible to input the value into the sampler’s plugin interface while recording the parameter track. So I can set a loop a bit before a MIDI note and it is not at perfect points in time, but can get the value assigned that way.

OK I figured out how to set up multitimbral instruments, though could someone please help me figure out how to use more than one multimbral instrument?

Say I have one instance of Kontakt with 16 MIDI channels pointed to it. Now I’d like to create further instances of Kontakt, each also with 16 MIDI channels. I can set this up, but is there a way to switch my single MIDI keyboard to various MIDI inputs (as created in the project device list)?

Hello again,

Do you foresee near-future implementation of having the control surface channel record arm act as a toggle for simulated fader touch rather than having to hold it?

It is currently extremely difficult to simply sit and listen to a looping song section while making EQ tweaks. Having multiple parameter tracks all set to ignore previously recorded data and overwrite it (without having to hold buttons for each while mixing multiple parameters at once) would make a major difference.

Thank you

I’ve been playing around with this, and it sort-of works, but I’ve noticed two things.

To have one channel panned L and one panned R, I need to set up a track and TWO sends so that Return 1 and Return 2 can be panned separately. If I pan the parent track hard left and create just one return track, it can’t be panned hard right because the bus is only sending through a left channel. This makes sense, but requires that the parent track’s fader is brought to 0.

The only way to get the return tracks working with the parent track fader at 0 is if an effect is loaded on the parent track so that the Send busses can be dragged below the Gain slider in the effects rack. With no effect added, the busses won’t move. This isn’t a big deal, just a workaround, and the effect can be removed from the parent track after the send busses are moved below the horizontal gain slider.

#2 is more of an actual issue – if I add the pitch effect on a Return track, the latency jumps from 1ms up to 54ms which is expected, BUT the latency on the parent track jumps from 2ms up to 55ms even with no effect on. Is it possible to keep the parent track at 2ms while the effected Return track is at 54?

Thanks!

Yeah that would be an amazing feature, but I understand it can’t be implemented soon. That is ok. What you have done already is amazing and so simple to get going, and I especially appreciate not having to restart the program to recognize MIDI and control surface devices!

I’ll play around with what you have some more now knowing what I can’t accomplish, and I hopefully will find a different way to make my workflow easier.

just each parameter tracks individually, not the actual track they are under. If I have 3 faders that aren’t right next to each other, I’ve got to use one hand to hole three buttons and my remaining hand won’t be able to move all three faders if they aren’t real close. This is all even assuming that I’m able to change the record to a single button because right now on the BF2000 MCU it’s like a shift function, where I have to use one hand for the shift so the button becomes the record button, then my other handle holds that record button and I can really only use one single other finger to move the fader.

This is working for me, but it constricts use to one hand. I’d like to control 4-5 faders at once. Would you consider changing this to when record is enabled on a parameter track? Presently I see no impact when record is enabled or not since parameters always respond to faders.
