Recording MF via MF vst

Freak MiniFreak
#1

Ableton Suite 12, on Windows 11 latest firmware and version of MF VST. VST linked to Synth.

If I have the VST loaded in Ableton and have the MF connected via Midi, the synth hardware knobs control the appropriate VST knobs as expected and I hear the changes (e.g., filter cutoff) as I turn them.

However if I record this input into a Midi track in Ableton the changes don’t register. In other words, the playback of what I have recorded just has the basic sound without the ‘live’ input from the knobs.

I must be missing something (I hope!)?

You’re going to want to look into recording automation, otherwise your DAW will only record notes and not parameters (like you’re experiencing). This is going to be specific to your DAW and unfortunately I only use Reaper so I can’t walk you through the Ableton-specific steps.

I did find this video about Ableton Live 11 but I think it might still cover what you’re looking for:

Ah thank you. I’ll dig into that in Ableton. :+1: (I didn’t know what ‘automation’ meant)
