(REWIRE) MIDI automation from Pro Tools to Live

Post by punto.flac » Sun May 08, 2022 10:28 pm

Hi. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to control Live as an instrument from Pro Tools. When i set Live as a rewire slave and load an instrument on a midi track it works fine in terms of playing the notes, and some MIDI controls work fine (like pitch bend, sustain pedal, etc). The issu arises when I try to map a knob on my controller to a parameter in a Live instrument. For example, I want to control the cutoff of a filter in Live via automating "undefined 20" parameter in Pro Tools, which corresponds to one knob in my controler, but Live won't read that CC message. I also can't use my controller directly in Live (I think that's because my keyboard can't be used in two DAWS at once).

If anyone knows how to propperly route those controls via ReWire pleas help me, it's giving me lots of headaches.

I'm using Live version 11.0.2 (I enabled rewire through the options.txt file); Pro Tools version 2021.7 and Alesis VI49 controller.

Thanks in advance.
