CC for Virus C

[modestdd]

i've spend a whole sunday night grabbing controllers in cubase.
and here's the result. this code includes the most popular controllers.

hope you'll find it useful.

Thats very useful - thanks a lot!

[Timo]

Nice one, that's excellent stuff!

[jasedee]

At the risk of sounding like a novice, and completely ruining all credibility as a synth geek, could I ask a question?

What do you use these controller numbers for?

Can you give me an example of why it is usefull to know these numbers?

How will it help my music production with Cubase? What will it allow me to do???

Sorry if this is a stupid question,

Cheers,

Jase

first off, midi plugins... :D

[Onkel Dunkel]

When you open the key editor in cubase there?s a lower window showing the velocity of the notes. If you go to the drop-down menu (that says "velocity") you can select a number of different other controlers. Some are allready named and this IS NOT the same in your Virus but behind the name is a controller value. You can choose these to control different parameters in your Virus (or any other MIDI-synth for that sake). Lets say you want to sweep filter 1 automaticly. Then you would choose the one called "Balance LSB" witch refers to controller 40 that is filter 1?s cutoff frequency in the Virus. Now you can "draw" the value (with a pen or a line) to make the desired sweep. The same goes for all the other controllers. You can actually make an intire patch from controller info and send it to the Virus and you will have the patch without having to save it in the Virus (but this is easier with SysEx). Now you may ask: "What the hell is SysEx". Well SysEx is a machine-code language that MIDI devices can use to "talk" with eachother. The benefit with SysEx is that it dosn?t "fill" as much as controller-data (controller-data is what we used in the filtersweep i just explained) and therefore is sent more rapidly witch makes it more suitable for sending larger amounts of data in one go. If you send large amounts of date as controller-info you may slow down he MIDI-transmission and the song may slow down or halt (witch you DO NOT want in the middle of your live setup). I hope this helped you and didn?t confuse you even more. Try reading some articles, webpages or books about MIDI. There?s tons of learning sites about MIDI on the internet.

So.....basically, what it allows me to do is go crazy with the cuttoff knob without touching the Virus?

Where is the fun in that? It seems easier and more fun to just record knob movements from the virus, by actually tweaking knobs, instead of just "drawing" them in with a mouse.

Is there anything else these CC's allow me to do? Cos if thats all, I dont see what the fuss is about.

[Onkel Dunkel]

So.....basically, what it allows me to do is go crazy with the cuttoff knob without touching the Virus?

Well that and a hell lot more. It allows you to "go crazy" with just about every parameter in the virus you wish to "fuck up". Change arp-pattern, LFO wavetypes, filtertype, phaserrate, saturation type, you name it... The cutoff reference was just an example. The list in the first post shows what you are able to mess with. Don?t get me wrong. I like turning knobs too :twisted:

Another thing is if you have a MIDI controller and lets say a virus rack. Then you want to know witch controllers you want to assign the controllers knobs to so that the knob movements you make are actually tweaking the parameter you want to tweak...

Ahhh....now thats interesting!

I do have a MIDI controller, which has alot of knobs and sliders, but I've never used it for anything other than recording notes.

Then you just assign each of your knobs and slider to a desired controller number. Then you can control whatever you like from the controller. Tweak it away 8)
