Automation and MIDI CC
Automation
All plugin parameters are automatable, including the XY pads. The graphic equalizer is
the only parameter that cannot be automated.
MIDI CC
To assign a MIDI CC parameter to the plugin, simple right-
click on the desired parameter, and you will have two
options:
Learn MIDI CC: Perform a movement with a control on your MIDI keyboard, and
the plugin will automatically learn the corresponding MIDI CC for the parameter.
Assign MIDI CC: Manually set a specific CC number for the desired parameter to
establish a direct control link.
The MIDI CC is stored independently in each preset. If you want global MIDI CCs, it's
best to assign a CC to the plugin automatable parameter in your DAW.
