You can also use MIDI data to control parameter modulation. For example:
- From a ReaControlMIDI parameter, live or recorded as an automation envelope.
- From data/events entered or recorded in a MIDI editor CC lane. For example, you could use an automation envelope to record changes in ReaControlMIDI's volume parameter, then use that envelope to control another FX parameter, such as the ratio setting on a compressor. Another example might be to use a MIDI Editor CC lane to record changes in an instrument's pan position, then adjust the wet/dry mix of an effect such as delay, so as to vary the delay length according to the pan position. We'll start by looking at these two examples, then you can freely explore any of the many possibilities that are available. For the sake of simplicity, both these examples use DSK Virtuoso. This synth is freeware and very easy to use. If you wish to replicate this example, you can use any synth that you choose.
