Anybody know how to get this plugin to automate? I've never had any trouble with any other VST plugins with Live, but for some reason none of the IK Multimedia plugins will let me automate any thing.
Thanks!
Cannot automate IK Multimedia SampleMoog
Re: Cannot automate IK Multimedia SampleMoog
Do you have the manual for Sample Moog? Basically it says that all parameters can be controlled by a MIDI controller, but for automation in a DAW only the four instrument macros and volume and pan are automatable for each instrument in a channel. I guess if you want to go beyond that you could record your MIDI clips, then playback the Moog and record it to audio on another track while moving the parameters you want. This should work for the other IK synths as well. If you have AmpliTube you have to assign the parameters within the plugin and then configure them to Live. Anyway, here are the excerpts from the manual:
To fully control SampleMoog via hardware controllers and/or keyboards, you
can associate any MIDI CTL (MIDI controls) to any SampleMoog knobs. A different
MIDI CTL association table can be created for any of the 16 SampleMoog
parts and can be saved into your current session or to a Combi Preset.
To associate a MIDI controller number to a specific parameter, please proceed
as follows:
3 - Controlling SampleMoog 37
Click on the MIDI CTL button (figure 3.26).
Click on any of the knobs you want to automate (figure 3.27).
The MIDI CTL association window will be displayed. This window
contains four columns: Knob (that includes the name of the knob
parameter), the Min and Max values, and the Controller Number
(that contains the controller number associated to that particular
parameter or shows N/A when no controller # is assigned yet).
Click and drag on the Controller Number field to associate a MIDI controller
number to the parameter that you want to control (figure 3.29).
To disassociate a MIDI CTL from a knob, simply select the N/A(not
available) value.
You can associate any kind of MIDI Continuous Controller to SampleMoog
parameters in this way. By default, CC’s from 12 to 15 are associated to the
MACRO Controls (see 3.1.2).
You can control all the SampleMoog GUI knobs-parameters via MIDI, except
LFO’s Waveform Types.
As aforementioned, in the MIDI CTL association window you will find the
min/max value of the knob you’re associating. You can easily personalize
the range to be controlled with an external MIDI Controller by changing the
min/max value.
MIDI CTL associations are saved with your song data as well as all the sound
tweaks you may have done.
If you want to SAVE a specific MIDI CTL association with a particular instrument,
you can save a PART PRESET. In this way, loading the sound will
automatically load its MIDI CTL association.
8.1 Automating parameters
All SampleMoog parameters can be automated using MIDI CTL association.
Simply associate a MIDI CTL to the parameter you want to automate (see
paragraph 3.9), and record a track on the sequencer by drawing or using an
external MIDI controller on the same MIDI channel of the instrument you
want to control.
Also, SampleMoog can be used with standard automation in RTAS, VST and
AU. Since SampleMoog provides thousands of parameters, it is not possible
to assign all of them to the standard sequencers automation. Only Parts
Volume, Pan, and Macros A, B, C, D are controllable via sequencer automation.
However, remember that any of the SampleMoog parameters can be automated
via its built-in MIDI CTL function. There is no limitation of any kind
to this.
I just got Sample Moog so I'm going to try it out myself. I hope this helps!
