Hi
The free Gain VST is a real life saver for Cubendo users. Its group feature allows for poor man's VCA grouping with MIDI control.
Would it be possible to add more groups and change the resolution of incoming MIDI?
At the moment when using MIDI to control the GainVST fader it reacts to 127 MIDI steps, and it's a little jerky.
More groups would be..well more groups Smile

It's a great little, golden plugin!. Thank you Blue CAT Smile

Hi,

We are happy that you like it. A new version is currently in work, and it should have 9 groups instead of 4.

The resolution cannot be increased without using different MIDI control types (typically NRPN instead of CC), but it's not as convenient to setup.

BUT you can already improve the resolution by reducing the range. You usually do not need the full -60/+60 dB range, do you? If you don't, go to the Preset Settings and reduce the range for the gain parameter. This way the 127 MIDI controller values will map to a smaller range of gain values, increasing the presicion of the controller.

Hope this helps!

Great News!! And thank you for the suggestion for the range.

Best regards
