Help and Questions / Re: VST(i) Knob Automation With Mouse

« Last post by Cyph3r on Yesterday at 00:06:35 »

There are at least two ways to do this:
1. Directly record parameter changes from the plugin GUI into patterns
2. Draw the wanted automation curve yourself using the parameter editor.

I know you're new to the software and this often comes with many questions about how it works. We have spent countless hours on writing the manual, so I'd recommend to read as much of it as you can, to get an idea where to find stuff.

Hi Saga.
I know that's what I've been doing for nearly a whole afternoon I had to ask you , I'm sorry I really don't want to be a nag and I truly believe you. This program is a beast!
Thank you for your help.

well , you would know if your cpu was being spiked by:
-a vst or vsti that is the mother of all hogs (space echo vst F*** OUCH!!!!)

If there is only a single number, no, you won't necessarily know which plugin is causing these issues. You can guess by unloading other plugins and check if the usage decreases (simply bypassing a plugin does not necessarily make it spend 0% CPU), but if you do that, you didn't need the number in the first place.

And no, there is currently no concept of Send effects in OpenMPT. It may eventually come with a big redesign of the plugin mixer, but I have said that for maybe 8 years now so don't get your hopes too high.

Without telling us which part of the sentence you don't understand, there is little I can do to improve it. Generally macros can do a lot of things depending on what you put in the macro, just like Excel macros or similar.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I should've searched this forum more extensively first. I might implement the square root thing for FT2 modules later. Right know I'm battling with the vibrato effect. The outcome of the fight is yet undetermined. Stay tuned

shift+click on the channel headers (i.e. the area that reads "Channel 1", "Channel 2" and so on) to enable multichannel recording for this channel. repeat until you have enough channels for multichannel recording.

wow sweet!!!

this is why I asked Saga about automation in the other topic , I was trying this before and watched a tutorial on youtube by someone but really wasn't working for me , now the one you told me works wonders!
I've still to try and understand what is this macros thing because the manual says : Zxx Macros are MIDI messages that can be sent to plugins or control internal parameters, such as the built-in resonant filter for samples or plugin parameter automation (“turning a knob” of a plugin). and that's what's confusing me.
Maybe this is just for the more hardkore programmers .
Bless you
