Some users like to use DAW controllers to control the parameters of Virtual
Instruments. It must be noted from the outset that this is entirely DAW and Virtual
Instrument-dependent. Some Virtual Instruments have limited (and sometimes no)
functionality.
There are various CC values that can be programmed i.e. CC1 (Modulation) and
CC11 (Expression) - these are the most commonly used parameters.
Please note that ‘vibrato’ has no CC value and, should that parameter be a feature
of a Virtual instrument you would like to control, you may be able to map it via MIDI
learn. MIDI learn instructions can be found in the manual for your DAW.
Please note that some virtual instruments have limited capability in respect of
receiving communication from generic or universal external controllers.
Please also note that the jog wheel can be used as a parameter controller of plug
ins, EQs and instruments, without having to program it especially, by pressing the
'focus' button and hovering with your mouse over the parameter in question. This is
a potentially extremely useful and powerful feature and very simple and easy to use!
It's denitely one to remember!
