Tau: Routing matrix - no continuous control in Plugin Parameters

Most Recent

OK - so this was my mis-understanding.

The plugin parameter for wah actually _does_ switch - between three values, off/mod wheel/auto. Connecting the breath pipe up to wah was simply a case of making the right setting in the Kontakt UI, then mapping the breath pipe to the mod wheel controller in the Midi tab of the router.

Problem solved.

Trying to use breath controller to control Wah in the NI Kontakt Player Band instruments (Funk Bass), by setting up the respective cell in the routing matrix (Plugin Parameters/2:breath)

The control seems to be hooked up as an on/off switch (you can see the knob in the Kontakt GUI flip between 0 and full on as you blow). Is this a plugin issue, or is the matrix not set up properly?

Thx

matrix not set up properly.... please take a close look at the Seminar about The Routing Matrix

There is extensive and detailed control on the Matrix to achieve what you want.

The seminar doesn't really help - it just covers the Midi routing. Midi touting is fine, it's the AU parameters. The dialog box is different when you click on a cell - it doesn't offer the MIDI 7/14 bit granularity options, for a start. But I'll persevere with the videos and let you know ...

There seems to be a bug in the implementation of the breath control assignment of the matrix:
If you play with the scale, invert and "Always return to origin" settings then you can run into the situation that the parameter has the value 1 if you do not breathe and 0 if you suck. Clearing the cell and reenabling it with default settings won't help you. But there is a trick: Clear the cell and blow into the breath pipe while clicking the cell again. Then the mapping works as expected (no breath: 0, full breath: 1, medium breath: the in between values).

If you still get a toggle behaviour perhaps try to automate the parameter with a different control - if it's still 0/1 then chances are good that it's really only an on/off switch on the synth side

Thanks Nothan, I'll give that a go this evening
