Thanks for trying out CSResponseCurve!
Updated Dec 5, 2023 to fix persistence issue!
Important Note: This is a 64-bit component, so only install it if you’re using a 64-bit DAW.
Important Note #2: This plugin has received limited testing, so don’t immediately throw it on an important project… play around a bit until you’re sure it’s stable on your system.
I’m not responsible if it crashes your DAW while you’re composing your Grammy Award winning project… or if your computer bursts into flames, your dog learns to play guitar, etc.
INSTALLATION
To install, right-click on ‘Install.bat’ and click ‘Run as administrator’. This will register the MidiFX component.
If you’d like to remove it, right-click on ‘Uninstall.bat’ and click ‘Run as administrator’.
The MidiFX component DOES NOT have to be placed in a particular directory. You can put it anywhere on your drive. Just don’t move it after it’s registered.
USE
Operation is straightforward…
The component remaps CC Data to the curve depicted in the graph. Use it to change the Volume (CC7), Modulation (CC1), etc. controls on your keyboard to suit the instrument you’re playing.
Set the ‘Control Change’ box to the CC you want to modify. You can type it in directly or use your mouse wheel to scroll through the CC’s.
The ‘Power’ button on the left acts as a bypass switch.
The plug-in will process real-time input from your keyboard, as well as Midi data already in a track.
An important thing to remember when adjusting plug-in parameters while playing a track is that changes to the settings will not be heard immediately. This is because the MIDI data is streamed to the component about two measures ahead of the time they’re actually played.
Another thing… Cakewalk will record the actual data from the keyboard to the track so if you delete the plugin, the response curve will not be modified.
Be sure to Process the plugin data to the track before you delete the plugin (or just leave it on the track permanently… it uses almost no system resources)
Have Fun!
If you find any bugs (ahem… I mean Undocumented Features) or you have suggestions or requests for enhancements, there should be a forum on viramor.com for you to discuss the plugin.
