Midi CC to internal Control Chain?

Using MOD devices
#1

Hi,

Many plugin knobs can only be controled by control chain messages, and don’t accept midi CC messages.

Is there a way to convert midi CC messages to internal control chain messages, to be able to also control plugin knobs with midi CC?

As an exemple, I try to use the harmonizer plugin, with audio input, and a midi sequencer to control the pitch of the harmonizer. But the harmonizer plugin only accepts control chain to change the pitch.
I’m not looking specifically for a way to control the harmonizer pitch, but I’d like to know if there is a way to internally control knobs that only accept control chain messages, while keeping the benefits of the multiple midi tools we have.

Thanks!
Laurent

I’m afraid Control Chain only works with a connected device. You need CV or MIDI to make a plugin affect a parameter of another plugin.

For your specific issue, you should look for a workaround. I would try a different harmonizer or pitch shifter plugin that has MIDI assignment.

Thank you, that’ll save me a lot of research time!

Maybe for a future update, the MOD Team could develop a virtual Control Chain device and a midi CC to control chain plugin?

Hi,

A quick update about the “harmonizer” plugin (actually, I meant a pitch shifter plugin, sorry for the confusion)

You’ll find below a Pitch Shifter Sequencer pedalboard, emulating the “Tararira” effect pedal. It uses Midi CC to Midi CV to “knob value assignment” chain.

Enjoy!
Any improvement is welcome :slight_smile:
