Discussions / Trying to Understand what's Possible for ACT Automation
« Last post by Binyamin on July 07, 2023, 04:06:37 AM »This software really is incredible, it's a little hard to use but I'm very impressed with how versatile AZ Controller can be. I've been programming an Akai MPC Mini Plus and I'm now looking to program the rotaries. I'm trying to understand what the possibilities are for programming them. Fyi the rotaries are endless and give out MIDI signals of 1 for dec and 127 for inc.
My IDEAL scenario would be: Shift + any of the 8 rotaries sets that rotary to control the last changed parameter (ACT or strip) which persists no matter what plugin focus and persists after Cakewalk closes. Now my understanding is that this is completely impossible (but if I'm wrong I'd love to know). As far as I know, there is no way to control multiple plugins at the same time and no way to persist it. And I'm unsure whether a dual ACT and strip system like that is possible. Is there a way perhaps to detect a change in strip volume or pan that I could use for this functionality? If not I'd also settle on a separate "shift" button that sets a rotary to control the volume of the currently selected track. Is there a way to set the current track number to a software state?
Thanks
