ION_Instruments Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hello Guys and Gals :) A very big problem robs me of the last nerve ! I would like to ACT some Plug-Ins, but nothing is working. I was watching a lot of Videos on YT, but no Video about CW and BeatStep ! So i tried some of my logical steps and Ideas...But nothing is working for me. I´m sure i have to re-program the Beatstep via it´s Midi Control Center... But what i should program this BeatStep ? I have absolutly no idea. I want to control the Knobs in the Plug-ins and want to use the Pads for the Si Drum-Kit. Okay, for the SI-Drumkit the Pads are working, i have to program the Pads in Midi Control Center to Channel 10 and set the Pads for the Kick to C-5 and so on. But the Knobs are not working in Si-Drum-Kit and other Plug-Ins. I followed these Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObsW0t5FnzM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK24ySULnf0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7QY3uIdzUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHKIE3SMkQU Hopefully some one can Help me out , Thank you so much ! My next big Thing is to add the Novation Launchpad MK2 to CW...But i´m at the beginning atm. Thx for a Help Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azslow3 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Not the best videos about the topic... Better just read the documentation, "ACT MIDI" section, it explains everything as far as possible. Tips: * you can not use (the same) pads simultaneously in ACT and for playing drums (till you switch what they send on Beatstep) * ACT MIDI support exactly 8x8x8 controls. So you can set first 8 knobs as knobs and another 8 knobs as faders. * if you configured knobs as encoders (so they do not send absolute position), Ctrl+Click on ACT MIDI cell to set correct mode * delivered ACT MIDI mappings can be broken (depends from the Cakewalk version you have installed as the first). Remove them (%appdata%\Cakewalk\ACT Data) and start from scratch. * mapping can be corrupted, that corrupts all so far learned plug-ins. Backup these XML files often. If you want to understand how all that works and/or do something above ACT MIDI level, read http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,107.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astraios Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) cHi Buddy, do you want to use the arturia hardware (beatstep) as a midi controller to regulate VST-softsynths within CbB? I'm using spark 2 for a while and are a bit fimiliar with arturia software. Not a specialist but also have been through all kinds of ATC horror-experiences. What about the midi-control-Center software from Arturia? Cheers ? Edited July 3, 2019 by Astra-Ios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
