Instrument Racks > expressive control with velocity

Post by Poster » Sun Jul 30, 2006 10:47 pm

Set Up
-----------

Triggerfinger (or any other controller that is able to send the same CC# on multiple notes (+ pressure>CC amount)
- make sure that all pads are sending the same CC#..

Live
- assign the CC# from Triggerfinger to one of the 8 Macro Control dials on a Instrument Rack..
- map some prefered parameters from an instrument inside the Rack to the chosen Macro Control dial..


note:
This does not behave as the velocity modulation you normally find on instruments..
It's a sort of pseudo velocity or 'sustained-aftertouch-ish' velocity beause as soon as you release the pad,
the Macro Control dial will drop to zero and so will all the controlled parameters on the instrument..
So this will work best on percussive, staccato sounds
