michael terryI’m trying to use midi learn for the session organ draw bars inside of studio one and nothing seems to work… using control link as well in studio one.
when I move a draw bar it should register in the control link box but nothing is happening…
Bear-Faced CowIf you’re trying to hook the drawbars up, along with other organ settings, as automatable parameters, ToonTrack has been made aware of this issue. I noticed this when attempting to hook up a Smart Control in Logic Pro X to it.
At the moment, the only workaround at the moment is to bind the controls to MIDI CC’s. Not ideal, but it works for now.

michael terryThanks Jordan…. and how exactly do we bind to midi ccs? I have three different controllers set to the midi ccs assigned to the drawbars and nothing is working.
Bear-Faced CowRight-click a drawbar and select either MIDI learn or Reverse MIDI Learn and move your controller.

michael terryok, maybe there’s a communication breakdown here…. Concerning the session organ and moving the drawbars on the fly, which is a critical part of playing a hammond B3. ….. in studio one which uses control link as opposed to midi learn…. when I move any drawbar, the control link box does not respond therefore I can’t assign a fader or a knob to that particular drawbar…. if I use a use a midi cc such as one that is assigned to any of the drawbars and move a fader or a knob on my Komplete Kontrol keyboard, nothing happens. So , the conclusion I have is that the session organ drawbars don’t work properly in studio one. Studio One is a fairly popular DAW…. was control link in session organ not tested? I don’t get it.
In Logic Pro , the drawbars respond to midi learn so, all good there.
In LUNA, nothing is working in session organ and the drawbars.
Bear-Faced CowControl link probably works like Logic’s Smart Control. In Logic, as long as the MIDI CC is not assigned in a Smart Control it can be mapped directly to EZK.
Are you able to disable Control Link or bypass certain CC’s?

michael terryWell then they should work with the midi controllers I have set in studio one…. Lemme dive back in…. Thanks for you response.

No worries, I’ll see if I can do a walk through with my Nektar controller and post something a little more detailed.

So I have been playing around with this to try and figure out why it was working and as far as I can tell you are correct, it doesn’t work with Presonus Control Link, however, if your MIDI controller is configured properly then, select the monitor button on the track EZKeys in inserted on, put the desired drawbar into “MIDI Learn” mode and move the hardware controller you want to assign to. That’s what is working on the LX88.
I have a few other virtual instruments that do not work with Control Link as well.

michael terryyeah,,, thanks man but nothing is working here….. Sure wish the people at Toontrack would respond… We’ve got a primo controller in Komplete Kontrol,
an up to date state of the art DAW in studio one and I can’t get the drawbars on a hammond virtual instrument to automate with the most elementary protocols. Seems like a fairly important issue that the folks at Toontrack don’t want to solve…. They sure do want to sell you more products though. Everyday there’s something else on sale.

Worth asking on the Presonus forum as well.
I have a foot controller that is working via Control Link, just set it up now for the Expression Pedal, controller in EZKeys Session Organ.

Right, forgot that this is the case with Control Link, however one should be able to use MIDI Learn with it. To me that still looks like a setup issue or perhaps the way Komplete Kontrol works.

Thanked by: Bear-Faced CowBear-Faced CowI’m not a Studio One user, but from what I am seeing, the symptoms with control link are the same as Smart Controls in Logic: because the drawbars are not automatable controls, they will not bind. MIDI Learn is the workaround for now, and the only way it works in Logic is if the MIDI CC is not already bound in Smart Control. Otherwise that controller is then seen as a control surface.
