Just re-read what I put in the original question and to make it clear - the plug-in has to be automatable so I can CHANGE the volume via CC7 or whatever I've MIDI-Learned it to (if it's got midi learn, CC7 by itself is awesome!) as I go throuigh the track. Yours hopefully Chris. |

Dear Jayden-N. Am gonna start trying out all your ideas right now - if any of them work you're a genius! And there's more. Kontakt's got a hewge bug in it - well, I call it a bug, they call it a 'design feature'! (Tomayto, tomarto!) Pretend you're designing a Beautiful Unified Sound, comprised of - say - 3 Kontakt sounds melded together in one multi. You achieve the unified sound. Of couirse when you turn it up or down you want it to STAY one unified sound, just like when you turn a CD up or down you don't expect the individual instruments' volume to change, just the volume of the track as a whole. Kontakt doesn't let you do that. Kontakt applies the volume changes to EACH INSTRUMENT INDIVIDUALLY, thus totally killing your carefully mixed'n'unified sound (the Korg M1 Emulator does this perfectly - ALL of its presets are multis and they ALL turn up and down perfectly without the individual sounds making up the multi changing in volume.) The only answer I can see is to turn the VOLUME SLIDER in my DAW up and down - which is where the plugin gain control comes in. Now I'm not the only person who's hit this one - people have been howling about it on Kontakt forums for over a DECADE and Kontakt haven't done a thing about it. Would it be OK for me to copy-paste your lovely post onto a Kontakt forum, explain - like I have done above here - why I'm posting it and how it could help their workflow? Right now people are getting around it by loading the sounds from Kontakt into their DAW on individual MIDI channels, grouping the MIDI channels and turning those up and down. Which is making their DAW do all the work Kontakt should be doing! Surely if they all get one of these wonderful-looking volume plugins they'd be able to set up their groups of sounds in Kontakt and just turn them up and down as a whole too, saving them from having to do all the work TWICE, once in Kontakt and once regrouping 'emi in their DAW? As it's your post, I wanted to get your permission before doing it. I'm even happy to put your name in the forum - I'm sure you'll get lots of people trying out the plugins from there. Yours respectfully Chris. |

Sorry - I've got POWAIR - it's the legit. version from the website, just in demo mode. How do I do the MIDI-learn/MIDI CC control thing with it? Not seeing it. Here's what it's coming up looking like... Yours with respect Chris. |

Question
Body
Dear All.
I'm a disabled wannabe composer (Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus, Dyspraxia, Asperger's). My DAW uses notation only, I can't play a keyboard cos of my disabilities. It controls all VSTs using CC commands, however I've a little bunch of VSTs that flat won't accept CC commands for love nor money. So I need a volume control insert to turn them up and down.
Please, is there a VST plug-in volume control (or GAIN, same thing at this point!) with MIDI learn or CC7 control built-in I could use as an insert effect, so I could turn the volume of the VSTs up and down by turning the MIDI channel they're on in my DAW up and down? That's all I'm after, a straight volume control. EXACTLY like turning the volume of a CD or MP3 up and down. You're not changing the volume setting on the actual instrument (or instruments if it's a band), you're turning the TRACK up and down. That's all I want to be able to do here.
Seems something so simple, putting a volume control insert on a fader in a DAW. But nobody, anywhere's, heard of one. Do you know of any (NOT Blue Cat - that's got a bug. It randomly changes the channel number I set it on and stops working. No idea why.) I don't care what else it does as long as it's got MIDI learn or CC7 control and is a plugin to use in a DAW.
I'm here cos you guys might know, not cos I'm after freebies. So if there's anything you know that's got a price tag, tell me that, too!
Yours respectfully
Chris.
