Can’t MIDI map Volume Control knob in Studio One Artist

[Jesus Garcia]

Hi Toontrack team.

I’m running EZK within Studio One 5.5.2 on an M1 mac. When I run EZK stand alone I can map the Volume Control to my keyboard controller but I’m not able to do that inside of Studio One.  When I click the reverb or the tone knobs Studio One recognizes them as Ctrl 1 and Ctrl 2 in the plugin window respectively and I’m able to map those to the knobs on my M-Audio controller using the external devices MIDI mapping in the DAW. When I click on the volume control knob, Studio One does nothing (as if it is not being recognized) and I’m not able to map it using the MIDI mapping in the DAW or the MIDI learn in the EZK plugin.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

EZkeys version: 1.3.3
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Hi,

I am not in front of my computer right now so I can’t check myself but isn’t it automatically assigned to CC7 in Studio One?

Hi … not sure I’m following you.

The issue I seem to be experiencing is that Studio One doesn’t seem to recognize the Volume Control  in EZK as an assignable parameter for MIDI mapping.

Best,

Hi,

it wasn’t but I had no problem assigning it.
I started by opening the Automation window for the EZkeys track and added the MIDI parameter ‘Volume’.
Then I right-clicked the Volume Knob in EZkeys and chose ‘MIDI Learn’, followed by adding a breakpoint in the Volume Automation lane and moving it.

After that I could draw the MIDI Volume Automation.

Thanks John.

This isn’t working for me. When I do MIDI learn nothing happens however what you are suggesting is a bit different I think. I’m not looking to do automation…I just want to be able to turn the volume of EZK instrument in the track up/down by using a knob on my M-Audio controller while playing or recording a track in Studio One. Is that possible?

UPDATE: I got it to work using the Studio One feature for assigning controllers components learned to the volume knob in Studio One. Not sure what I did this time around that made it work.
