Andromeda automation and midi sync

Hi,

I would like to automate features of my A6 sounds in Cubase, but I am running into problems..........

For example, if I record a filter sweep with filter 2, but wish to adjust what I have recorded, there are 4 parameters instead of just 1 for filter 2 cutoff.

I have checked the manual, but cannot find what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to transfer the 4 parameters into 1 simple midi CC message?
Or a really simple obvious answer?

Thanks,

Loki

i simple set record on in cubase , record the nrpr's info and if it's not good, rerecord the filtermovement again. it's simple but works fastest , and the resolution is much better than with the freelyassignable controlers like ribbon. something like 128 times better.

Hi

Thanks Kraster for that extremely well explained answer, I never thought of that, but now you mention it, it is quite obvious.
Thats what I'm going to do, and control it from my midi controller.

Thanks Sunny, you are quite correct that is the simplest answer, unfortunately, I'm more of a programmer than a player, and my timing often sucks, so when I've tried doing it that way before, I've re-recorded dozens of times.
Also, there are things I can do with automation that I could not physically do with my hands.

I'm sure I will be using both methods though.

Thank you both for your replies,

Loki

thought that in cubase you had something like transformer, to change midinfo, maybe that could help?. other thing is that the msb could be changed (most significant bit so in fact the main valua as opposite to the lsb which is more of a fine tuning) thereby just changing the filtercutoff in big steps? maybe also somebody already made a mixermap or otheradaptation for the a6 on this forum or the steinbergforum??
anyway, you're welcome and also is any solution on this longexpressed problem.

Oh yeah, the other thing was syncing arpegio and sequence tempo to my sequencer.
And also LFOs and mods.
Again there is probably a simple answer, I can't find it in the manual though.

Thanks,

Loki

Thanks Kraster,

This is why it wouldn't work:
