Do you mean you implemented Channel Presure and not Polyphonic Aftertouch? I'd say that's good enough.liqih wrote:I implemented Afertouch and Channel Pressure,
but like CC they control parameters on the GUI, not modulation per voice like Afertouch is supposed to do, basically Modelonia will handle Afertouch like the simpler Channel Pressure, the parameter linked affects all voices being played
Keyboard controllers capable of sending polyphonic aftertouch are extremely rare, AFAIK. I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you're saying here, but let me elaborate a little more on this midi map thing.liqih wrote:That's why some users consider the host options to custom map MIDI
per project, as I wrote:
Plugin parameters can use host automation and many hosts (like Ableton Live macro knobs, other features in Cubase MidiShaper and Quick Controls and others FL Studio) allow to map MIDI controllers to parameters in various ways, so it may be thought as a job for the host, not the plugin.
Actually is the host which provides the interface with the hardware, so I wonder why you prefer to be the plugin to take care of that
MIDI CCs (Control Change)
Modelonia supports MIDI CC and Aftertouch assignment for any parameter; all you need to do is right-click on a interface control, knob or slider, to bring up the MIDI CC page and fill the relative fields:
Field 1 : the CC number in the range of 0..127, or enter AT
Field 2 and 3 : the min and max values in the range of 0..127.
You must press Enter after the number input.
The controller value (MIDI CC or Aftertouch) will then be bound to that parameter.
You can enter AT ( lower case "at" work as well) instead of the CC number to have both Polyphonic Key Pressure (Aftertouch) and Channel Pressure (Aftertouch) linked to the parameter.
As note, I implemented Polyphonic Key Pressure and Channel Pressure response the same like CC, that is not modulation per voice as Polyphonic Key Pressure is supposed to do in other synths, basically Modelonia will handle Polyphonic Key Pressure like the simpler Channel Pressure, so the modulation of the linked parameter will affect all voices being played. Hence there is no difference for Modelonia if your MIDI keyboard sends Polyphonic Key Pressure or Channel Pressure messages.
Modelonia responds to Polyphonic Key Pressure and Channel Pressure in the same way. That means that the per note (pressed key) value supported by Aftertouch in some keyboards is ignored. Modulation is always applied to all playing notes.
Multiple parameters can be linked to a single MIDI CC or AT/CP.That obviously means that you can control many Modelonia parametes in different ranges at the same time, for instance using only the ModWheel or the Aftertouch.
Each preset stores its own full Midi map.
View of the full MIDI map.
The full Midi map created by the assignments can be viewed this way:
right-click on a interface control, any knob or slider or switch, to bring up the MIDI CC page, then click the "View All" button.
This is handy since when you are going to assign a CC you can check with a single click which other parameters are linked and their range of modulation.
How do I delete a MIDI link?
To clear a bound-parameter, right-click on it again, then entering -1 as CC number you will clear the parameter link.
To clear all MIDI CC assignments for the current preset use the Options menu.
Note. The macro sliders have fixed assignments, you can't currently edit that:
Gain macro linked to MIDI CC 45 by default,
XM macro linked to MIDI CC 46 by default.
All Sound Off and All Note Off MIDI messages are automatically recognized and turn the Modelonia sound off.Those are CC number 120 and 123, you should not use them for custom mapping.As stated by MIDI specifications:"Controller numbers 120-127 are reserved for Channel Mode Messages, which rather than controlling sound parameters, affect the channel's operating mode."
MIDI Program Change is supported.
MIDI program changes are supported in Modelonia. When a MIDI program change is received by the plugin via the host, the current program is changed to that having the same number, in the currently loaded bank, as that of the MIDI program change message.You can switch that way among the the first 128 presets listed numerically in the bank*.
Note. When using MIDI Program Change to Modelonia while it’s playing not all parameters can can jump to a new value silently, therefore depending on the preset selected a burst of noise may be produced,but don't worry it will not blow up your monitors.
*Remeber that you can customize the default bank, see the Presets Management section.
