Recording Automation

Post by dreikelvin »

I just tried recording knob moves in Cubase...and it doesn't seem to record anything? Is this a bug or is Voltage not capable of writing and receiving automation?

In Logic, I start by rightclicking the VM parameter and choosing Automation Assign. Then pick a number. You'll have a chance to name it at this point. Next, in the popup list of automation parameters in the Logic track, that number and name are visible and automation works great.

That's it! I am so spoiled by "regular" VST's that it did not occur to me I needed to do that extra step :D

Thanks so much!

In a regular VST, the parameters are fixed - maybe there's a filter, an envelope, an LFO, etc. But they're hardwired into the VST interface. VM is a modular system, and it's impossible to predict what modules you'll be using in a patch. So the system is designed to let you customize the automatable parameters (128 of them if you like). It's actually quite brilliant. :)
