Hey!

I'm running PT 12.4 on Mac OS 10.8.5 with Patchwork, but am having trouble mapping my MIDI controllers parameters to the plugin. In other words, the MIDI learn function isn't working. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or does MIDI mapping not work in Pro Tools?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

IN order to be able to use MIDI functions of the plug-in, you need to make sure that Pro Tools actually sends the MIDI events to the plug-in (there is no direct connection from the MIDI driver to the plug-in):
- if you are using the Virtual Instrument on a VI track, armin for recording / input monitoring should be enough, if the plug-in is selected as the track instrument.
- if you are using the effect version, you need to create an extra MIDI track, route its output to the plug-in and arm it for recording to force input monitoring.

Hope this helps!

That fixed everything I've been trying to figure this out for so long. Thank you!!

Glad that it worked for you! MIDI management in Pro Tools is indeed not as intuitive as it could be...
