Midi sync - newbie

Pip · Post by **Pip** » Fri Jul 25, 2003 4:02 am

Hi,
My Pulsar card is working well. Now I'm trying to record knob movements and sync arps to Q base - my main audio card is a Delta 10x10 which is my asio driver in Cubase SX 1.6 - how can I sync my synths and record filter sweeps etc - sorry for such a basic problem but two days down the line it all getting a bit frustrating!

just use the Midi controllers in Cubase piano roll (you have a menu where yopu can draw controllers (for ex "LUminance = cc 74 for "cutoff"). Then you can link any Midi CC to any pot in SCope (see the scope manual : right click on a potentiometer, move your controller or play Midi CC track, then press "+". You can also do it manually).
Good luck

Thanks, is there an easy way to find out what cc are used for each synth parametor or should I just re-assign them. If I do this I suspect they will not be remebered. EG 40 is the cc for cutoff on my virus and I remember that easly for drawing in controller as suggested?
How do I find out the cc for each knob on the many pulsar different synths I have. Sorry and thanks

right clock on a knob on a cw synth you want to control...a midi dialog box will open.

Thanks - I now understand that the synths do not have "assigned" cc's - like most soft synths. So need to be assigned prior to drawing the cc info into SX.
Any suggestions on syncing arps other than "by hand" and quatise in SX?

In SX : on the midi channels (press the "e") you have slots for midi effects : one of them is an arpegiator. so you jut have to route that channel to the synth you want (creamware or else)
