[FEATURE REQUEST] Ability to use Expression Pedal to control Augmented Series instruments

Software Instruments Augmented SERIES

The title says it all. I’ve noticed there’s no apparent way to use an Expression Pedal to control Augmented Series instrument parameters from Analog Lab.

My Use Case: I’d like to bring in Augmented Brass brightness gradually with my foot, as I play a pad with my 2 hands (multi-part preset in Analog Lab).

Hello Arturia, I’ve included this forum post as part of a Support Request I just created.

Hi @EricP.

It’s true Expression (midi CC#11) unfortunately is’nt a modulator in the modulation sections. I wish it was in all applications.

However - You can assign Expression (midi CC#11) as modulator for a single parameter under the MIDI tab in the Right panel of the application. That should be enough to control a Volume parameter.

If you use the midi LEARN button, then just click the button, click the parameter you wish to control, move your Expression pedal and click the LEARN button again.
While the button is enabled unassigned parameters will show purple - when assigned red.

@LBH,

Thanks for your answer. This helped me clarify my above feature request which I just updated.

My original request’s Use Case mentioned Volume but I really meant Brightness. I had also forgotten to mention that I use Analog Lab. I’ve used Pigments within Analog Lab and controlled it with an Expression Pedal before. But I cannot seem to be able to do it for many other instruments within the V Collection .

So I’m asking about mapping an Expression Pedal to learnable parameters that are within the instrument. In Analog Lab, I think that Assign under Expression Pedal only allows mapping to Analog Lab controls (outside the instruments). And, from what I’ve experienced, clicking Learn in the MIDI tab (in Analog Lab) doesn’t work with an Expression Pedal (on CC#11).

Now you talk about Analog Lab.
In Analog Lab Expression (midi CC#11) is a reserved parameter. You can’t assign that in Analog Lab, as Expression is meant to be assigned in the full individual applications.
If you assign midi CC#11 to a parameter in the full individual instrument, then it should work in Analog Lab too, if that midi config is active in the full application.

Many of Arturias instruments have midi CC#11 as a reserved parameter. Many as a modulator that can control multiple parameters. But unfortunately that’s not the case for all instruments.
