Issue with EQ.

the impossible mission of automate the modwheel of Hive 2 and others alike

Thank you! I had always lamented the lack of automation for things like pitchwheel and modwheel, so your comment prompted me to see how Reaper handles it. From what I can tell, it uses a special MIDI plugin in front of the instrument plugin and then you can automate that MIDI plugin.

So it got me thinking, maybe Waveform has something similar? And it does! I loaded up Hive and then added the MIDI CC plugin before it. I set CC1 to Dest 1 -> Channel 1 -> CC1 and now I can automation the modwheel!

What I still can't find is a way to automate the pitchwheel. I mean, I can always use the clunky MIDI control data, but it's so clunky. Maybe I need to trawl the dev forums to find out why they never seem to expose those parameters for automation.

I'll have to look it up again - but I had used one of the MIDI toolboxes to convert pitch bend to mod wheel (I had a cheap Casio that only had pitch bend). I think it was MIDIConverter3 from the pizmidi collection, which also allows you to scale (specify input range to output range, which I had to do as pitch went negative; I only converted positive values to the range expected for MOD wheel). Nice simple tools, really small.

From the docs... This is just the key bits on output.

PS - the collection has things like velocity scaling, note filtering, a simple "strummer" to delay notes by different amounts, range filters; about 30 little "I didn't know you could do that..." .VST tools.

midiConverter3

Change and convert between CC, Channel Pressure, Poly Aftertouch, Program Change, Pitch Bend, NRPN/RPN, Note On/Off, and other messages in various ways. Pitch Bend and (N)RPN conversions will use the full 14-bit values when possible.

Output Type - Options:
Discard - No conversion, just block the input message.
CC - Mapped value will be used as the value of a CC message set by Out Param 1, optionally
(set by Out Param 2) with smoothing.
14-bit CC - Mapped value will be used as the value of a 14-bit CC message pair set by Out
Param 1, optionally (set by Out Param 2) with smoothing.
Program Change
Channel Pressure
Poly Aftertouch - Mapped value will be used as the value of a polyphonic aftertouch message
with note number set by Out 1.
Pitch Bend - Mapped value will be used as the value of a pitch bend message, optionally (set
by Out Param 1) with smoothing.
Pitch Bend (LSB) - Mapped value will be used as the LSB of a pitch bend message with MSB set
by Out Param 1.
