is it possible to translate a midi cc into a "note on" event. erm any note, doesn't matter. otherwise i need a softsynth that is "always running" like real synths and i just trigger the gate with a cc

What OS & DAW are you using?
windows vista/live 8.2
probably not what you want but theres a piece of hardware called yamaha mep4 midi event processor that could convert a cc number into a midi note
but theyre from the 80's so theyre quite limited in processing power/midi buffer size ive got 3 - they only cost me about £30 each a few years ago but this year i saw one sell on ebay for more than £100 - i dont know why nice one skab. the link from that thread to this link is a godsend
Glad I could help mate.
pd makes this very easy. (using pd for this is not overkill IMO)
keeping this inside live would be preferable. but i believe my solution has been found anyways
so basically i'm using the insert piz here plugins now
two midi converters. the nano pad sends a value of 127 on cc 16 when you press the pad and a value of 0 when you release it (by default, these can be changed) the first midiconverter changes the 127 on cc16 to a C1 note on event and the second midiconverter changes the 0 on cc16 to a C1 note off event. this way it sustains while i'm holding down the touchpad. this frees me up to assign the x coordinate on the pad to something other than pitch if I wish. Another annoying thing about the nanopad2 is that while using touch scale, sliding to a different pitch retriggers the note. this issue has been solved. in order to use two pizmidi vsts on one channel i've edited the .ini file in my pizmidi folder to force all plugs to start as vst effects, not instruments. of course daisy chaining midi channels should do the trick anyways. you have to make one midi track for the pizmidi plug and one for the actual instrument but routing is not really a big issue to me. however i could not get the track with the midi routing into it to work before i changed the pizmidi plugs to effects. anyways, voila. a midi kaossilator. this is something i had tried to achieve in years past but never got my hands dirty enough to accomplish. it's great because people are no longer limited to korg's (mostly) crap presets and can use any synth they want, and then they can reassign the axis, etc.... the responsiveness of the nanopad2 is a little iffy though. this would probably work better with a kaoss pad. and of course it will.
i don't know how to make live load these vsts as midi effects. that would be great Signup to comment
