:) Hi Alexej,

perhaps you can help me out. I want to trigger the parameters of my Spire synth using your mignificent AZ Controller, but for now I'm stuck in the Logic window. I've got a handle on the 'Options' and the 'Hardware' side of things...
The only 'Action Condition' the VST parameters offer is the "Rack" option. Could you please give me a hint as to what other settings need to be configured so that the OSC-1 knob on my 'BC Remote CTRL' actually sends the command to the synth? I'd really appreciate it.

Best regards from Berlin

Hi,

I don't completely understand from which peace of software/hardware you try to control Spire, but since you have "Last MIDI event" with CC12 and some value, I guess you have managed to get your input working with AZ Controller.

In AZ Controller, you need at least 2 Actions to set parameter:
1) the first (or more) specify what you control
2) the second change the value, so specify how you control.

In your screenshot, there is (1), so you select the parameter.
As (2), you always use "Value" action. Default parameters should work fine ("Direct linear"). You can also try "Catch" option.

From the screenshot, I see you have defined "Action Condition". I am not sure you do this intentionally, it only make sense you you want control several different things by the very same Knob.
In any case, I propose you get basic functionality first, without any Software Sets and Conditions. Reset to "Any" for any condition you have set...

BTW the "Quick start" tutorial https://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,9.0.html defines 2 Actions. It is easy to follow and you get something "working" :)

PS. "ACT Map" condition means you want do something only in case "Spire" synth is in "ACT Dynamic Mapping" focus. Rack/FX Actions are using an alternative route to control parameters, they work independent from the "ACT Map".
But if you really want control Spire only when it is in ACT focus... Keep the condition and add it also to the "Value" Action as well.
I repeat, I am just not sure you do it intentionally at the moment :)

Vielen Dank für die Antwort.  ;D Ich möchte das Spire Plugin mit dem 'BC Remote CTRL' Plugin (virtual MIDI Controller) triggern, was mit dem Sonar Remote auch gut funktioniert (funktioniert aber nur mit loopMIDI).
Das BC Remote CTRL wird mit einem Hardware Controller angesteuert und wandelt die MIDI-in Daten (OSC-1  Chn 15/CC 15) in MIDI-out (OSC-1  Chn 9/CC 12) um.
Ich habe schon Stunden mit Deinen AZ CTRL verbracht, aber ich bin leider kein Programmierer/Informatiker und auch nicht so fit in der Birne. Man könnte auch behaupten, ich bin schwer von Begriff...
Gestern habe ich auch das StartUp Tutorial studiert und bin immerhin ein Stück weit erfolgreich gewesen.
Stimmt genau, diese ACT Funktion will ich nicht benutzen, ich habe es auch mit 'Context' probiert und überhaupt alles Mögliche.
Vielleicht ist diese Einstellung (siehe Foto) schon etwas besser?  ::)
Sorry, das ich auf die Nerven gehe... ???
