midi control - really simple question

[benparsons]

hi, if I have a piano on channel 1, and put the reversinator as in insert effect in FXA. all I want to be able to do is to know the midi control Number so that I can switch the reversinator on and off. I only use the reversinator as an example, I am basically struggling with any midi control over any FX plug in parameters. I have ticked the box in the setup tab (route midi CC's to source plug in) is that right?

apologies for being a halfwit

At this moment, you can't do thiat. Put the reversinator in a different channel and pipe the audio out of the piano to the second slot. use a different midi channel to control it. (I may be mistaken on exactly how you do this, but it is the way it is done for now.

If you are exclusively looking to turn the effect on/off, I'd say using CC's to control the Receptors mixer is the easiest way to go, and assign a midi button on your controller to simply mute the effect in fxA, which is explained in the 1.5 addendum I believe. Not sure that suits your needs, but it's how I have some multis set up.

Yes, just to re-phrase Dasher's point: the current version of the Receptor OS (1.5) only routes MIDI to the FIRST plugin in a Receptor mixer channel. So, if you have a piano VSTi loaded, then subsequent FX plugins in the same Receptor channel will not see the MIDI data.

When you put the FX VST in a second Receptor mixer channel (with the channel source set to the output of the piano VSTi), the FX becomes the first plugin in it's mixer channel - thus it gets the MIDI data.

You may not have to use a different MIDI channel, if your piano VSTi ignores the CC that your FX plugin wants.

I think we can expect to see the MIDI routing situation improve in a future OS version, since there are many high-profile Receptor users who play live, and who are surely giving Muse plenty of feedback.

thank you all very much I'll try all of this and let you know.
