Convert midi PC to midi CC

[dhj]

OK - I read briefly through this LONG conversation and I think there is some serious confusion as to how one controls SampleTank

1. Forget about trying to use MIDI directly — you should be using host automation and widgets - be aware however that SampleTank is a bit buggy (sigh)

2. Insert an instrument into SampleTank - I just randomly inserted Violins
   

   

3. Drop a widget into a panel
   

   

4. With the widget selected, select the SampleTank 4 plugin from the Mapping window. You’ll see a list of words - on my system they’re just Parameter 1, Parameter 2, … etc.
   

   

5. In SampleTank, switch to the parameter view by clicking on the little waveform graph at the bottom left
   

6. Now you should see all the parameters - here’s just a partial screenshot
   

   

7. Back in Gig Performer, click on the Learn Parameter at the bottom right of the Mapping view so that it turns red
   

   

8. Right-click on one of the parameters (I just picked the LEVEL) and a popup menu will appear (I hate this dark mode, you can barely see anything)
   

   

9. Click on the Automate menu item and immediately you will see that the first parameter in the mapping list has been highlighted and selected
   

   

10. Click the Learn Parameter button to turn it off (it should no longer be red

11. Get out of edit mode in Gig Performer (the widget should no longer be selected

12. Now, if you move the widget, you will see the parameter in SampleTank move as well (and vice versa)
    

13. Finally, you can go into edit mode again, select the widget and go to the MIDI tab. There you can click on Learn and and assign a CC message from your controller. Then when you send CC messages in, the widget will turn and consequently the parameter will change
