ikX functionality & automation types

Please,

need to controll plugin checkbox via keyboard - turn on/turn off - without keeping note pressed.

And the second problem. Do anybody need to controll plugin of CardA via MIDI interface of CardB using ikX? It doesn't work in fact. Is it a question of drivers or of ikX plugin?

[color=yellow]Assigning 'Note' as a automation controller will give you 2 states;[/color]
[color=yellow]pressed and released = on - off. [/color]
[color=yellow]That is the nature of a key (note) control. It flips back![/color]
[color=yellow]What you probably want/need is a 'flip-flop'.[/color]
[color=yellow]That is; first press->ON, release->reset flip-flop, second press->OFF.[/color]
[color=yellow]Maybe a midi tranlator program like MIDI-OX's map function could be used[/color]
[color=yellow]to accomplish this.[/color]
[color=yellow]However; the program must remember the note's previous state[/color]
[color=yellow]so I'm afraid that one has to write a custom 'midi translator'[/color]
[color=yellow]or kX's 'note automation' has to be re-written.[/color]

[color=yellow]iKX is kX's programmers API. Don't you mean kXi or kX control?[/color]
[color=yellow]Anyway; using a midi mapper like MIDI-OX, one can send/route midi data[/color]
[color=yellow]to different devices, so that should work.[/color]

>That is; first press->ON, release->reset flip-flop, second press->OFF.

"NoteON (Type 2)" option does this.
However, as remember "native" kX plugins just do not provide access to "bypass" (or "enable/disable") switch through kXAutomation.
("UFX" plugins do, for example)

(although, if "native" plugin has an automatable "wet/dry level" fader(s), the desired functionality still can be achived)

I would like to use MIDI keys to close/open microphone with MX6 plugin. I dream of that for every time when I have to keep keys pressed, recording vocals.

[color=yellow]Ah,..now I remember,..you asked about MX6 automation some time ago.[/color]
http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...&highlight=MX6
[color=yellow]But I already fixed MX6 automation.[/color]
[color=yellow]It's mentioned and included in 3538a release.[/color]

>>"NoteON (Type 2)" option does this.
[color=yellow]Yep. you are right. (duh..) Thanks Max.[/color]
[color=yellow]
[/color]
[color=yellow]So PITmaster;[/color]
[color=yellow]Just use 3538a MX6 and assign "NoteON (Type 2)" to the "enable check boxes".[/color]
[color=yellow]It works just fine.[/color]

Thanks LeMury

So, seriously I have to update drivers to 3538
I'm not sure I'm ready now to resign UFX's EQs.

Hi

I'm testing MX6 (v1.13b) attached to version 3538a of driver now. DSP window is empty except MX6 plugin. Automation defined for input_enable1:
Note, Channel=16, Event=NoteOn (Type 2), Key=C-1 (0)
Results:
key pressed = on, key left = off. So it's still not a 'flip-flop' method.
I do not have any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's definitely not like Max describe that!

BTW - Type 1 sets on permanent.

[color=yellow]3538 already comes with updated MX6..!![/color]

[color=yellow]Anyway;[/color]
[color=yellow]I personaly tested note(type2) automation in MX6/3538a right[/color]
[color=yellow]after Max.M's post and it works fine.[/color]

[color=#ffff00]PS:[/color]

Hmm, I've found that information in forum:

Well, in Cubase SX with midi track:
MIDI IN = Uart
MIDI OUT = Control

and now everything is working fine, I mean flip-flop method
But without any midi sequencer and programs like MIDIOX, so without route Uart -> Control, I still can control DSP plugins via Uart!!! Then flip-flop doesn't work, of course. I've moticed with route mentioned above, delays appear and controlling is not smooth enough.

So please, what about?
