Anyone know how to use midi learn with CamelSpace in Live 5

Post by dgkenney » Thu Sep 22, 2005 4:00 pm

Can't figure out how to use midi learn with CamelSpace in Live. Live's midi learn won't let me automate the plug controls and Camelspace's learn doesn't get the pass through from the instrument (e.g. Simpler)

Anyone figure this out?

Sadly, the only way that I could get it to work is by using another MIDI channel to send MIDI to the channel that has CamelSpace.

You have to make sure that monitoring is set to on on the MIDI track sending the data. Then you can use the MIDI assign in LIVE to assign a MIDI control to CamelSpace.

I am not in front of my computer right now, but that is what I remember. It doesn't act exactly like other effects....

To use Live's mapping features: Unfold the default VST interface by pressing the small triangle button in the Live plug view (the one with the X/Y pad). You will now see all the plug's parameters. Press the MIDI mapping button in Live's upper right corner. Select a parameter, twiddle a hardware knob. Done.

Sometimes it is hard to identify a param. Then move the desired button in the plug's interface and see which parameter that moves.

Beautiful!!

Works like a charm.

one gotcha is if you are trying to automate the Camelpsace gate, the onscreen gate "bars" wont move when you automate them, but if you click on them, they will update their size to reflect your automation...
