Hello,

I have a akai mpk mini midi controller, the keys and pads working in ableton, but the knobs or buttons just have influence on a few VSTs.

How can I make them working in every VST?

thanks in advance.

Greetings

I think it depends on each vsti.
For example, we know that most vsti synth filter react with midi cc 74 for the cut off and 71 for the resonance.
So make sure your mini mpk preset sends these midi cc within two buttons...
On some vsti, you'll have to map manually the parameters. So , it can takes a long time but once you're satisfy with the result, save the vsti with the right mapping in a rack instrument, that you'll be able to use for another project.
Hope this helps.
