Control Arturia AFCC Mixer from GP via MIDI

Gig Performer on Windows
1

Hi all I’m configuring my new setup with the 16Rig but i have some issues controlling AFCC mixer via MIDI.

That’s the situation: I have some hardware synths on the audio IN pluse some VST managed via GP. In order to manage volume balancing in my setlist i’d liek to remote AFCC mixer via MIDI FROM gig performer (hosted mode?).

I have created some sliders and knobs in my panels, i tried to route midi all input to midi out… but nothing

The problem is that anithing happens when sending midi messages… MIDI learn works for mapping but it’s like the artuiria cannot receive midi messages from host when i move my faders.

Anyone has experieced the same problem or you have a solution about it?

2

Have you tried using MIDI-OX to monitor when you move the fader? Maybe there are some SysEx or cc messages

3

Yes, i can see midi messages from the controller… the strange thing is that midi learn works but it’s like the arturia cannot receive midi messages…

4

Turn off GigPerformer and connect the AFCC mixer to a different USB port or directly to a USB port on the computer (without using a USB hub). Then try mapping the fader again

5

Ok no usb hub. If i connect my KeyLab61 to the front MIDI usb port the faders move.

Now I have in gig performer I created a know connected to Arturia Host in port and it reacts when i move faders on the keylab. The problem persist because i cannot send CC values FROM gig performer knob TO Arturia audiofuse midi in

There is a vay (via gpscript?) to clone midi messages FROM a midi in port to another one?

I have a similar problem with a Launchkey; in my case, it’s about the pad lighting.
I can press a pad on the keyboard, and a switch on the GP panel changes its state. I want the pad lighting to turn off when the switch is off. Like you, I can’t figure out how to make it work.

Did you try set sync for the MIDI learned widget and set the correct MIDI in and out device in Rig Manager?
By the way I think it would be better to control the volume of your hardware and not the levels in the mixer

8

Can you communicate to the audiofuse control center?
Seems with cc messages you can control different gui elements.

Midi messages are received from interface if send via usb host connected devices (keylab connected directly to host port → faders reacts) not if messages are sent from GP using the Arturia Host Output midi block…

10

Did you try different setting “Hosted” or “Standalone” Mode in the AFCC mixer?

11

Yep, it’s like the mixer can catch midi message only from the hardware port and not from the software one inside softwares.

There’s a way to “clone” midi messages from an input to another one via script? I’d try to fire midi events via code. Something like a listener on a MIDI INPUT port that “clones” events to the ARTURIA HOST MIDI IN

12

How looks your MIDI Ports window in the options?

13

I’ll check later on my pc. By no a script like this should work?

On MidiEvent( m : MidiMessage) From
InjectMidiEvent (“destinationMIDIPort”, m);
End

14

Are our using a Multi Client MIDI driver?

15

I’ll check it as soon as i’ll be back home… I installed default driver from arturia website (AFCC setup) but i have not verified if it comes with a multi/single client driver

Hi all, hi Paul… finally did some tests and get in touch with Arturia support… the confirmed me that actually the mixer cannot be controlled via midi host port (daw/software) but only via connected devices.

A temporary solution coud be use a USB-MIDI interface connected to Arturia MIDI IN (Din) but I prefer wait for a software solution (they’re working on it).

By now I thought to approach in this way:

  1. Hardware instruments in audio in of interface, audio gain in Artuiria mixer to 0 level
  2. GP audio output on Arturia USB Audio OUT
  3. Balancing volumes using GP mxer (for VST) and Volume CC via midi for hardware… I’ll create a global rackspace mixer interface to tweak levels
