Discussions / Re: Communicating with an FX VST within Cakewalk
« Last post by norfolkmastering on October 31, 2023, 01:04:56 PM »Hi Alexey
Thanks for clarifying what AZ can and can't do.
Please tell me if I understand correctly?
1/
Yes I have set my Cakewalk rate to 25ms (which is the fastest possible)
So if we relate that to level meter updates in a VST, which I am controlling via MIDI messages from PIC to AZ FX parameters.
Does that mean that:
Every 25ms, AZ/Cakewalk will send a batch of new FX parameter values to the VST plugins?
2/
Taking your advice about level (refresh) rates not being important;
I can do work in the PIC at higher 'scan' rates to determine what new values to send via MIDI to AZ and also how often it is necessary to send a new value.
Does that seem like a sensible approach?
Regards
Robert
