Depending on what gear you have, there are two other further methods you can possibly use to send MIDI CC messages to automate a VST's parameters:
-
Send MIDI CC from a MIDI source (such as a MIDI keyboard controller, a MIDI track, ReaControlMIDI, or an FX which outputs MIDI CC messages) directly to the VST. In some VSTs MIDI CC messages are hardwired to specific controls (e.g. LinPlug's Alpha), in others (e.g. Kontakt) the mapping is assignable.
-
Send MIDI CC from a MIDI source to MIDItoReaControlPath (S&M). This injects the MIDI CC messages into the Reaper automation path and onwards to a track VST Parameter Envelope for which MIDI Learn has been used to map the CC message to that envelope.
