misteradam Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi all, I'm using a controller that doesn't have drawbars on a B3 VST (Scarbee Organ in Kontakt). Is there a way to get buttons to adjust the drawbars in and out, sort of like certain Nords do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Normally, yes. A physical controller (being a slider, a knob or other objects) is just a device that sends binary data (usually MIDI) to the DAW. Thus they could be set to send specific type of data (ie CC) that will correspond to the parameter to actuate. One relatively simple method to do same is by mean of Smart Control. There could be other ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteradam Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks for the response. I don't think I was clear about what I'm looking for. I need the button to act as a slider. The button just transmits 0 or 127 - I'm looking for a way for 127 to increase another CC gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 You could do that with a momentary control. It’s not documented. I’ll try to whip up a n example this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) - never mind didn't read the first post carefully... you could certainly code something with scripter...where does the button presses need to end up? what message does the button send? Are you needing that gradually incrementing value to go to a track for recording it, or directly to an instrument for hearing it?

Dewdman42 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Geez I really need to read better. You're using MainStage. no recording.. So anyway, what message does the button send? A simple Scripter script could handle this for you. What message does the button send and what messages is needed by Kontakt for the slider?

misteradam Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I actually don't have hardware in hand; I'm deciding between buying several controllers, some of which lack sliders. So I don't know exactly what the button would send! As far as what Kontakt wants, I'm finding that difficult to ascertain as well! Previously I've been sending CC values from a physical slider via "Map Parameter," but I don't know if Kontakt is responding to the CC directly or if something's going on under the hood in Mainstage. I think you've already helped a lot just by pointing me in the direction of Scripter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
