Now i do want to automate the vst instruments/effects
Open the VST plugin editor
.. doubleclick on the vsti slot name ( this is a assigned sound ) in a rack and the control screen of the vsti is opening.
Give a little tweak to the parameter you want to control

Code: Select all

Open the plugin context menu e.g. by right-clicking its name in the MU.LAB GUI 
..rightclick on the slot of the rack where the plugin
is located and a contextmenu is opening
GUI = graphical user interface ( A MULAB screen )
-----------------------------------------------------------
note : it is also possible to choose the "MIDI Controller Map" (the name given by MULAB: "Map MIDI Controller" sounds for me not so familiar ) the plugin screen itself via options button in the left uppercorner of the VSTI/VST editor screen
So you can choose a MIDI Controller Map on two ways in MULAB when you are working with VSTI/VST plugins
------------------------------------------------------------

Choose "Map MIDI Controller". You'll see that the last tweaked parameter is already selected; but you can also choose another one if you want.
Now turn your MIDI controller. MU.LAB will listen to the incoming MIDI and copy that controller into the open dialog
Note that MU.LAB offers 2 MIDI controller mapping modes: "Global Span" or "Plugin Span".

When you map a MIDI controller with "Global Span", then the mapping is always active. When you map a MIDI controller with "Plugin Span", then the mapping is only active when the respective plugin is focussed.

====================================================
Summarize

For controlling VSTI( instruments) or effects (VST ) parameters ( knobs , etc )use the MIDI Controller Map in MULAB (
To open the MIDI Controller Map you must first go to the VSTI/VST plugin itself ( open the vSTI/VST in a rack ) and open the editor screen.
Choose a parameter to tweak in the VSTI/VST editor screens and select the MIDI Controller Map ( via rack slot or plug in editor screen )
In de MIDI Controller Map you select the parameter name from the VSTI/VST what must chance(value)and assign a midi controller to do that
