You might wonder why you'd want to MIDI learn modulation when there is
already a
dedicated CC for it - same for 'brightness'. Well, the answer is that there is
currently no way to link these to aftertouch, and this is especially relevant
for people using wind controllers.
Well that was rather easier than I expected :)
There is a new very small window, accessed by right clicking on
the 'controllers' button. This has just 4 controls that are MIDI-learnable
Modulation
Expression
Filter Q
Filter Cutoff (Brightness)
I have one keyboard that sends aftertouch messages, and all of these work
correctly with it. In fact an interesting effect was to have a sawtooth wave
set up in AddSynth and the frequency LFO level turned up.
I then learned Mod, Exp & Cutoff, all on aftertouch. I then reduced their
ranges in the MIDI learn window and the effect was very interesting indeed :)
Because of the way this is implemented these controls are also accessible
via CLI direct access for both for read and write, and the knobs will respond to
this - as well as learned controls.
At the moment, the GUI doesn't directly set them, nor will the controls move
when 'normal' MIDI messages come in, but these will eventually be taken care of.
The info in dev_notes is also updated.
Have fun!
