MIDI CC# 95 Bypass Distortion

[dawman]

I am using multiple S|C Distortion instances and often click on/off bypass.
So shouldn't the plug remember the MIDI assignment for each instance of Distortion..?

Loading 1 instance the effect works fine, the MIDI CC stored works w/o a hitch.
But once I use multiple instances I find the CC# doesn't play ball.

Any work arounds other than using different plug ins, which means 3 x MIDI CC3s of different value...
No biggie but my Guitarist is pretty talented and a perfectionist.
We worked for 30 minutes getting the right tone in Kontakt, which actually means I can use full on "hard" distortion on any Kontakt sound and get the ballsy Sabbath stuff.

But I went to the intro of the Pusher by Steppwnwolf as I cover rhythm guitar parts with my left hand, even add the slides and grace notes etc.
But we got Sabbath instead of dirty/clean and that always gets me that jacked off look from him.

Save me Please.....

I can't test at the moment, but did you drop it into modular as an insert, and go from there?

[dawman]

It's in 3 different channels as an insert. STM 1632x.

If I understand and remeber correctly, you can only assign 1cc to one button/parameter. You can not assign the same cc to severel different buttons.

[dawman]

Looks like you're right. I assigned a different CC# per instance and they work.

[dawman]

Actually on project recall it was funky.
Ended up using 2 other stock S|C plugs.
TQDrive for Transistor Organ stuff, Wurlitzer 200A sounds got Overdrive and Distortion for the Kontakt Guitar stuff.

Have you tried Mehdi's CC5 for that?

Funky how - Like in "bug in scope"-funky?

[dawman]

Bug in Scope funky yes...But actually VST FX do the same thing, they require a separate command on multiple instances to function properly, but I want a new definition of the word properly then.

And No, YaYaJ.
CC5 is meant for multiple CC#s generated from a single press/twist/stomp of a single CC#.

If I wanted all instance to change from on to bypass at the same time that would definitely work though.
I was being Chintzie by trying to be overly efficient and use a single CC for multiple duties.
So I broke down and added more Distortion plugs.
I think S|C knew this from the beginning, so they gave use a few Distortion plugs with minor differences for those with large distortion needs.

Gotcha, that's what I thought you were trying to do but now I understand. Conservation of CC's. I'll bet you are using a lot for your gig.

[dawman]

So far I have memorized 54 CC#'s.
But Physis recalls thankfully...
I got enough Pedals, Presets and controllers to think about while playing as it is...
