How to modulate parameters in ableton?

[Yornav]

in the matrix... yes... And after all the matrix has some good advantage if I am right you have the possibility to set up 6 cc messages instead of mod wheel... And probably if you use (example) cc 12 on your midiboard. the knob sends 0 to127 AND::: I think if you do not set the slider in the matrix assignment slot to full +63 or -63. The 127 steps made by the midi knob are recalculated to less steps. If you know what I mean. In my bad english... Look at the midi knob 0 to 127 as a 100% and if you set up your slider in the slot to (example) +12,7 (+12) it would be +1 each 10steps you move with the midi knob...

About what Shortbus said:
Thats correct too. But thats the reason why I started this thread. Shortbus, take a good look to the strip where the virus is sitting! It's where It runs it from... If you enter new midi tracks to control each part. And you use clips to send notes... there is no problem... But If you want to send some modulations with it too. To modulate the timbre. Guess what... trouble on the road... I just don't want to put a simple cutoff mod via the matrix on another cc input... There is a list from 1 to 127cc's... I have no Idea wich cc stands for what function in the virus... So I even got some so called ''midid implentation carts'' from the net and guess what they have some weird pages a,b,c.. cc0 to 127... don't understand how mutiple pages are working...

Happy to help!

Shortbus....interesting but makes it a little hard for use during live applications which is my main focus...I try for the simple is better method...I run through so many parts its easier to remember what the mod wheel is doing since I put the same parameters on the soft knobs via the matrix!

Gonna give it another go ahead...but I have not had any success getting automation to work per clip outside of song mode!

This is a great thread.

I have written to Access regarding this, and it was one of the great deceptions I felt when I bought the Virus TI. I imagined it would work more like a software plugin, where I would have not 1 AUVST instance of it, controlled by 16 midi tracks, but 16 AU/VST instances of it loaded as individual tracks, in which case, this thread wouldnt need to exist.

I honestly had it a lot easier with my Virus C in Live just using plain vanilla midi, each track controlling a part of the Virus, and all the modulations and notes in one track.

But the very fact that this thread and this problem even exist, trying to work around a problem and only finding really painful solutions is telling...

Access did reply to me, and said they had intentions of raising the number of AU/VST instances of the Virus to 4 in a session.

Good to know!
