Using Cakewalk with a Midi ControlPad

[Pablo Jones]

Hi,

I started using Cakewalk with a Korg NanoKontrol2 in DAW mode and it does what I need it to do for the most part. I loaded up a bunch of vst instruments on different channels and I can control the volume, pan, etc. Nice for live use at church.

I was wondering if it is possible to use it to control some parameters in my vst using the Learn function in addition to what I am doing now. So instead of Pan on "channel 6", I use the rotary to control attack on the Strings vst(for example).

Am I asking to much LOL?

Thanks for the insights.

I have nanoKontrol [1]. The Korg Editor allows me to set the settings of the knobs, buttons, and sliders. If a VST has Remote Control / MIDI Learn, I can use that to tell the VST how to use the outgoing MIDI data the Korg sends (aka Mapping). I have also used the nanoKontrol sometimes as a Control Surface to control the Cakewalk UI. 

You can use the forum's search tool to look up "nanoKontrol" to get more posts. I am sure others have already discussed using the nanoKontrol 2.

Here's a search link for "nanoKontrol." to get you started until others with the nanoKontrol 2 chime in here.  Hope this helps.
