Which one's do you map to your midi controller for performance purposes?

 

I'm just a right or left clicker.

 

I'm sorry, but that title cracked me up!

 

me too

anyway, for OP information :

 

To rephrase the question, I have 8 knobs available and I was wondering which parameters are the most useful to map if we use Diva synth as an example. What would your 8 choices be?

 

that ain't the problem, it's the tittle

Obviously the Filter and Resonance most of the time. Normally I'll only map the things I want to manually automate, 90% of the time I don't manually automate though, just pencil tool em down.

Lately I don't have to do that since using Cubase all the important parameters already mapped to the Quick Control and automatically mapped to my MIDI controller.

If you asking for anything to map to become useful, I'd suggest map the Macro. Presets usually already have important parameters mapped to the Macro for fast tweaking. Not for Diva, but Analog Lab, Serum, Massive etc.

 

You talked about me ?

 

You've got to have a bit of fun now and again

 

Oh my goodness gracious me
Good thing I never used this word during my tinder dates with english-speaking girls

 

In order :
Cutoff and Resonance
Portamento
Attack and Release (or the whole ADSR)
Effects (Delay ...)

In some synths (like Sytrus), there already an XY expression pad : map it first
some other synths (like Analog Lab) already have 8 expressions mapped

Use "quick controls" or equivalent (like 8 "best of" parameters on Ableton) to avoid mapping each time

 

I knew that this thread could be very different depending on where the op was from. Same with "let's talk about fannies"

 

As the others said, cutoff, resonance, filter env amount, decay (for filter and amp) FX (send level, feedback, reverb length).

 

Cut off, resonance, lfo intensity, lfo speed, fx delay time, fx delay feedback, noise level.

 

It depends on the synth/patch. Often cutoff/resonance, but might as well be noise, adsr envelopes, fx, and so on..

 

Here is a small sample pool. Showing you too many, may have made you ill (if not already). There are many more from different nations they all have one thing in common, greed. These creatures have many other names apart from knobs, including scum, slime and vermin. You should avoid touching these knobs at all cost as it may distort your
mix world.

 

1. Cutoff
2. Resonance
3. Filter env mod depth
4. Decay (for filter, not amp)

 

Thank you for all the replies.

Please keep a look out for my next guitar related thread ... Let's talk about nuts

 

oh that's a dangerous subject because the best one are illegal, imported from Africa and might anger some animal lover, if you know what I'm talking about.
