Guest mollekula Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 hi guys, ive been experimenting with automation in my Cubase SX3 all day today. automation record works perfectly when i move VST or VSTi plugin faders and knobs manually with my mouse, but to my disappointment i could not manage to do the same with my BCR2000 MIDI controller. the weird part is that i tweak the plugin knobs with my controller and i can hear the sound alter, but the automation bars of the parameters that i change stay still. ive also noticed that the value of the parameter being altered is not changing either despite the fact that the knob i tweak rotates and alters the sound. ive tried everything, automation with mouse works just fine but it dsnt work with the controller. ive been diggin thru Cubase preferences but didnt want to change anything cause i dont want to mess things up. the manual i read does not mention anything about controller and automation and im stuck. could someone who knows how to do this shed some light and tell me what exactly i should do to make this work or post a link for such a guide? there are some interesting noise/ambient stuff i want to experiment on and this obstacle keeps me away from this. thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I use an 88 key controller that I run through m audio uno midi to usb interface into SX3 with reason rewired through to control reason shit. I make midi track to control reason and superior drummer have no problem's but I haven't tried any knob twiddling (I guess my controller has no knobs and I have no ability to be of any assistance) *leaves thread* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mollekula Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 ok, i figured it out myself. the R and W buttons should have been enabled on MIDI track to be automated as well, instead of enabling R and W on VST Instruments track of the MIDI, Olga in this case. as you can see in the picture, the blue automation bar for these two parameters, filter resonance & filter cutoff frequency that is, are still on VST Instruments track, thats where i got tricked initially, because these two bars were moving when i was tweaking these knobs with my mouse and i thought its the same automation place via MIDI controller as well.
