Midi To DX Effects Plug-ins? How? eg in Acid 5

[leereznor]

Please help me as I am at wits end!

I want to control a sound effect plugin like Antares Filter or Phutboyslim or Decabuddy with midi data.

These sound effect plugins are all capable of receiving midi information, whether it be a mod wheel changing antares filter freq, or midi notes you play on a keyboard changing the effect parameters in Phutboyslim.

I know how to get this to work in Cubase via grouping and you can select the output of a midi track to an EFFECTS plugin.

HOW DO YOU DO THIS IN ACID 5? I would love to have an audio file playing with say Antares filter as the effect, and set it so that my mod wheel changes the frequency of the cutoff...

I tried making busses etc, but midi data never gets to the Antares Filter or any other midi controlled effects plugin.

I also tried to make a midi track and send it to a bus, but that's impossible.

PLEASE HELP, tell me that EFFECTS PLUGINS that can use midi input to controll real time effects, can't only acheive that midi input by using CUBASE and not ACID 5? (and no...slaving acid isnt what im after)
