Track Midi Control Data

Post by Conmantheman »

What would be the best way to record midi control data and play it back in Magic?

For example I have the "Levels" component of the "Ripples" module tied to midi control #11. I have assigned one of the faders on my Arturia Key 88 to this control signal. As I play back my song I am control the Ripple levels to sculpt an image in a way that is independent of the music. Not sure if there is a good way to do this.

The analogue to this would be the latch function in Logic.

Another way to do this is record midi automation/envelopes in a daw (Ableton) and route to Magic, this allows you to automate multiple parameters and recall them easily. You need a virtual midi application (RTPmidi, loopBe, etc.) for routing. I use RTPmidi for the added ability to route to other machines over ethernet. The added benefit being the abillity to use something like Launchpad to fire clips with multiple premade animations and modulate parameters.
Good luck.
