Using hardware for automation

oskar-c wrote on 2/12/2018, 2:27 PM

Hi!
Samplitude Music Studio 15 here.
I want to use an external hardware for controlling various automation parameters. I have succesfully installed the hardware, but when I assign a TrackVPot function, it sticks to panorama control. How do I set it to control a parameter of a VST effect/VSTi? Music Studio 15 lacks the "learn hardware controller" function, but accidentally I managed to link a vpot to the desired parameter (thence it is possible). However, as said, this was done by accident and I cannot recreate this.

Is anyone able to help me?

Hi,

When you right-click on a parameter of a VST/VSTi effect, do you see a menu with the learn command?

Nope, there's no menu. Both in plugin and parameter dialogs.

Hi Oskar,

Under Help, About, what is the version number? By 15, do you mean 2015?

Select a Magix instrument and tell me which one. Get the instrument interface on the screen. Right click on the volume knob. Here is what I see in my old Music Studio 2 (version 20.0.0.11).

Samplitude Music Studio 15 version 15.00, published probably in 2008.

Right clicking the knobs have no effect, unless the plugin was programmed to open a pop-up.
