MIDI Control Of Soundtoys 'Little Alter Boy' in Cakewalk

[Steve Ennever]

Does anyone know how to access the midi control of Soundtoys Little Alter Boy? 

It doesn't register on mine.

Indeed, is it possible on Cakewalk? 

Thanx...

This might give you some ideas. It doesn't show Cakewalk specifically but the principles should be the same.

Been there & no, it doesn't. Cakewalk midi simply doesn't recognise Soundtoys LAB exists.

dunno if it does support MIDI as there is no reference in the manual for it. you might just use envelopes to control it.

Sorry, do you mean you're not sure if Alter Boy supports Midi...

If it's Cakewalk then yes, I fear as much.

it's an older video. this user seemed to sum it up nicely:

you can do this in any auto tune melodyne plug-in, and..drum roll...no one wants to hear some annoying singer try and impress us with soulless acrobatics that sound like snot thru a straw.

maybe they could fix some of their other plugins and then announce undocumented features later...

Here's the current one https://support.soundtoys.com/article/90-midi-control pertaining to specific DAWs, not relating Cakewalk obviously - thus my question here.  

I'd already checked this out. And someone else had already given this link earlier in this thread.

Quite easy to find. 

Anyway, it does indeed look like Cakewalk is limited in this area.

go into your plugin manager - select the LAB plugin and click on plugin properties -> check the "configure as synth". close the plugin manager. then find it in the instruments plugin and load into the audio track. in the MIDI track select the LAB plugin.

Excellent, Glenn. Excellent. 

 

Thank you.
