Hi

So I’d like to control the drawbars of a VB3 VST module using the faders on my Motif XF.

Using the ‘MIDI learning’ mode the VB3 seems to pick up the same CC7 (volume) from all the faders. I’ve had a nose around and can’t see how to get each individual fader to send a different MIDI control message.

Other than that, controlling the VB3 works very well.

How can I change the control messages that are sent when I move the faders ?

Thank you

Andy

The sliders cannot be used as you would like, sorry.

This question has been asked many times here.

Hi,

I’ve an Motif XS and it seems to me this may be possible using Zones in MASTER mode. You may like to try setting up 8 zones - then in the KnobSlider page adjust the controller values for each of the sliders and knobs to whatever controller you like(they default to CC7 (Volume) all on Channel 1. You’ll need to setup up the Master so it transmits externally rather than internally.

I’ve not tried this particular application myself but have used the same Master technique to setup the knobs and sliders as I wish to control other VST soft synths. You may also be able to pass the controller output through a MIDI transformer to achieve more complex mappings.

Cheers

You’re right - this works pretty well. I created and initialised a new Master. Then I chose zone mode and assigned MIDI codes to each slider. With that done, VB3 could learn each slider independently. I had to use a dial for the ninth drawbar as there are only eight sliders of course.

Thanks

Andy
