Hi all,
On the Controller interfacing with software front, things seem too be slowly improving, with NI putting forward NKR and the SpitfireAudio UACC, and these are welcomed, as universality and consistency are what made MIDI so universally useful rather than proprietary brand specific solutions (Oberheim Parallel Buss - Roland DCB etc) BUT there seems (unless really missing something) almost no usage of some of the very useful CC assignments in the original midi spec.
The original Midi spec2 has some useful 'defaults' Obviously CC1modW- CC7vol - 11exp -64hold - are pretty much universal, but i NEVER seem to see things such as 71resonance -74FiltCutoff - 72release-73attack -91reverbsend for instance?
This seems like a really lost opportunity for developers to embrace these and for musicians to be abel to set up hardware and have much bigger selection of completely uniform controllers so the old muscle memory for reaching for the Reverb or Filter are pretty much global.
Just a question…
When using hardware midi controllers on Kontakt libs, do you just use what ever CC's are / maybe assigned by the manufacture, (maybe edit the CC's sent by your controller)
or…
Do you re assign the library to match the assignments you have as your personal default on your hardware.
Would you actually USE IT if things such as VCA Attack and Release, Filter Cutoff and Rev/ Delay sends etc were Uniform for all libraries?
Obviously this would need everyone to get on board, but since there seems to be some interest in this area at the moment, it would be fantastic if we took advantage of this so sadly under used aspect of the Midi Spec.
