Recording controller data with Sylenth
Posted: 17 Feb 2012 00:22
Hi
This may take awhile to explain. Having trouble recording my midi control data with Sylenth. Perhaps someone has run into this problem?
From my Lemur I am able to manipulate any controllable parameter in Sylenth but I have to go about it in two ways.
1. Assign a controller the CC number as stated in the manual for Sylenth, for example lets say CC 71 is for Cutoff, so I make the Lemur transmit CC71.
2. Not all parameters in Sylenth have pre assigned midi CC numbers. So to work around this I use the "Configure" button in the Ableton plugin window for Sylenth, assign a bunch of parameters to there (Filter Envelope's ADSR for instance) and then by using Midimap I can assign the Lemur's knobs/faders to those.
When done I can control the whole Sylenth and jam away. Ok so lets say I have two instances of Sylenth.
Now i want to record a pass of me tweaking the filters and stuff in Arrangement view.
On the track I want to record on I select midi input, hit record and Overdub and play away, only ableton isnt recording the data uder the names like cutoff, amp env etc in the automation lane, instead it is writing into the clip envelopes at clip level with no reference as to what is being shown when I open it up (no names like cutoff etc, just a number, so i don't know what I am looking at)
Another problem is that those parameters I set up using method two above, are continuing to be written on another track to even if i am not working on that track, its as if those parameters are now hardwired to the controller . This is different to the Ableton plugs like operator who, once you change track, and change the midi input, they become dormant.
I just want the automation data to record onto the track I am playing with (and only that track)
Understand?
Anybody know of a solution or something i am doing wrong here?
cheers
