MIDI
Many of our plugins can be controlled by MIDI. For example: Duck can trigger its envelope when a MIDI note is received; Infiltrator supports MIDI controllers, envelope triggering as well as toggling its effects on and off using a MIDI keyboard; and Pitch Monster will turn your voice into chords while you play a MIDI keyboard. Read the plugin's manual for how to enable and use the MIDI input.
But no matter which of our plugins you use the the procedure in your DAW for routing a MIDI signal to the plugin is the same.
Some of our plugins also accept audio input, for information about routing audio please look here.
Steps
This example uses Duck but the same procedure apples for other effect plugins:
- Ensure that the plugin is loaded on your track and set to receive MIDI - this is different for each plugin so please refer to the manual if you are having troubles.
- Create a separate MIDI track and add some events to the track.
- Return to your Duck track, in the effect rack click on the plus (+) icon before Duck.
- In the pop-up window, go to 'Note FX' and select 'Note Receiver'.
- Select the 'Note Source' drop down from the Note Receiver effect and find the MIDI track you set up to route to Duck.
- You will now see Duck trigger in time with the MIDI notes on that track.
