One knob for multiple FX
One knob for multiple FX
Hi,
I'm facing a problem I can not solve:
configuration:
- 4 tracks on which I have the same effect ... for example, an autofilter.
- I assign a knob on the dry / wet effect on each of the 4 tracks, with the same knob.
The problem: when I move my knob, the effect moves along the dry / wet on the fours effect tracks.
My wish:
When I select a track, I want it to be only the selected knob that moves, and not on the other tracks.
Is there any manipulations to achieve this? A Max for Live utility ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
Instead of manually mapping these 4 knobs you could macro map them and use the device control method to select a track and tweak only the selected rack, if that makes any sense.
Re: One knob for multiple FX
Hello,
Thanks for answering.
I don't map 4 knobs, only one for the 4 tracks.
Example:
- Track 1 with an Autofilter effect witch i assign my knob for the dry/wet.
- Track 2 with an Autofilter effect witch i assign the same knob for the dry/wet.
and the same for the 3rd and 4st track.
= the same knob for the 4 dry/wet effects.
Problem : when i move this knob, all dry/wet effects move at the same time, but i just want it to move, when one track is selected or armed.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards.

I'm sorry to have you read a bunch but I believe that this is directly relevant to your interests.

One type of script that is popular is called 'selected track control'. What controller do you use? Does it have editable knobs?

Hi yur2die4,
Yes, i got an Axiom 61 from M-Audio.
I assign the B5 knob on each dry/wet effect from the tracks 1,2,3,4.
The only solution i think is to prevent the knod of the tracks not selected to move.
Do you mean that script can help me ?
I tried to see some Max4Live build for Dj that should use this technic (used inside Traktor).
Thank you for your help.
Bye DRJ.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
You need to look into controller scripts and device control. Macro map your filters to racks and then your device control knobs will control the currently selected rack, meaning the same knob will control your filter but ONLY on the track that is selected.. that's what you're going for right?

Hi TYLRbass,
It's exactly what i want to do ... i gonna try to follow your steps with the scripts of my controller.
Many thanks for your help.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
My initial response was a bit confusing but that's what I was getting at, sometimes it's difficult to put an explanation into words but I'm sure among the multitude of tutorials out these days you can find one that walks you through the process of setting up the controller script and macro mapping your filters.

Thank you for the tags that i should use to find the appropriate tutorial.
Bye.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
This task sounded like fun to solve in m4l so I just made a little edit of the MultiMap device which does exactly what you're looking for:
MultiMap TS 1.1
There are some limitations (like it want work with parameters on return and master tracks) but otherwise it seems to work pretty well. Drop me a line if you find some problems.
Edit: v1.1 works with parameters on return and master tracks!

Re: One knob for multiple FX
Hello Because789,
Thank for your help.
I tried your "MultiMap TS 1.0", but i got a problem:
Exemple:
- i created 4 tracks with an Autofilter on each.
- i added MultiMap TS 1.0 on each track, next to the Autofiler.
- i selected the "frequency" as MAP for each Autofilter in the 4 MultiMap TS 1.0
- i mapped the input knob to my fader controller (the same fader controller used for the 4 input knobs of the 4 MultiMap TS 1.0)
- When i select a track, each input knob move at the same time (for the 4 tracks), instead of the selected track.
May you help me more ?
Thank you.
Kind regards.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
Hey poba, you're welcome. You only have to use one instance of MultiMap TS to accomplish your task. I try to be clearer:
1. create 4 tracks with an Autofilter on each
2. add ONE instance of MultiMap TS on ONE track (it doesn't matter which track it is)
3. click the first Map button on MultiMap TS, go to the first track with the Autofilter on and click on the dry/wet dial
4. go back to the track with MultiMap TS, the Map button should now be called Dry/Wet or something like that
5. click on the second Map button of the device, go to the second Autofilter and click on the dry/wet knob
6. repeat this for the other two Autofilters
7. map the Input dial of the single MultiMap TS device to your desired knob
This way it should work.
Only use multiple instances of the device if you want to manipulate more than 8 parameters with a single knob.

Re: One knob for multiple FX
Just updated the device, manipulating parameters on return tracks and master track is now possible too. Have fun
