Parameter Value: The actual value that is sent.MIDI Message Type: Can be PB (Pitch Bend), CP (Channel Pressure), CC (Controller Change) or Prg (Program Change).On/Off for PB/CP/Prg, a number for CC: Toggles the parameter or specifies the CC number that is sent.In addition to the standardised Controller Change numbers, Plugin and MIDI instruments often have customised sets of numbers and you'll typically find information about them in the instrument's reference manual. "Custom Name" for CC message types: Allows you to name a control change parameter, describing what the CC number does.Instrument: The targeted instrument, chosen from those available in the Instrument Selector.Īll of the other sets of parameters work in exactly the same way with the following options:.You may find it useful to watch our video on this subject. The MIDI Control device broadcasts MIDI pitch bend, channel pressure, control change and program change commands directly to the Plugin and MIDI components of the selected instrument. Macros: A copy of the instrument's macro controls.MIDI Macros: A copy of the instrument's MIDI Controller macros.Phrase: The instrument's currently selected Phrase.Instr.: The targeted instrument, chosen from those available in the Instrument Selector.The instrument's Phrase can also be changed with the menu at the top right. This device provides a copy of the linked instrument's macro controls for altering the assigned Modulation or Effects parameters of a linked instrument. Show/Hide Parameters: The small arrow buttons in the bottom-right corner allow you to expand/shrink the device to show/hide parameters.Left-clicking will open a drop down menu listing of all the Plugin's available parameters, allowing you to select and use the one you need. Parameters: Shows the selected parameter.If the instrument has no Plugin component the parameters below will be blank. Instrument: The targeted instrument, chosen from those available in the Instrument Selector.You may find it useful to watch our short video. Since every Plugin is different, the number and function of those parameters can vary wildly. The device automatically populates itself with the selected Plugin's changeable parameters. Instead of working through MIDI, the Instrument Automation device sends parameter changes to the Plugin component of an Instrument directly. Sample FX: These devices are unavailable. Track Effects: These devices are used to directly control an Instrument through its Plugin and MIDI components or by automating instrument macros. Finally, there are devices which can also be used to route and control other meta or audio effect parameters via the *XY Pad and *Hydra. There are also devices which can use various real-time inputs (notes, velocity, audio output etc.) to guide their behaviour, such as the *Key Tracker or *Velocity Tracker. They can even be linked between different tracks/FX Chains, making for complex and powerful routing possibilities.Ĭommon usages for Meta Devices are applying modulations with the *LFO device or *Signal Follower, controlling plugin instrument automation via the *Instrument Automation device, or sending MIDI to plugins using the *Instrument MIDI Control device. Meta Devices are effects that do not directly manipulate audio, but instead modulate or control other parameters.
