I’m using THU for a piano EQ filter effect where I have inserted 2 parametric EQs in series. One is for LPfilter and the other is for a HPFilter.
My idea is to place 2 knob widgets that control the freq parameter on each of the EQs according to it’s specific function: LPF / HPF.
My issue is that when I try to assign 1 widget to the 2nd EQ in the chain, I press the learn parameter button and it won’t assign anything I press on the 2nd EQ. It will ONLY assign anything if I press a button on the 1st EQ module.
The same happens with 2 ON/OFF buttons I want to assign. They only assign anything on the 1st EQ module but NOTHING on the 2nd EQ Module.
The only way I can get around this is to place 2 THU blocks in wiring view, each with 1 EQ module within and control them independently.
Has anyone come across this issue? or is there a workaround so I can use just 1 block JUST for EQ filtering
Perhaps a stupid question, but any chance ou opened a plugin window in another Rackspace that the current one and try to learn parameters from this plugin window?
What if you have only the second EQ in your rackspace , is it still impossible to learn a parameter?
No. Definitely not… As I say. The widget lets me assign a function on the 1st module via “learn parameter” but that same widget won’t let me assign anything on the 2nd eq module which is right next to the 1st one.
I have been looking in the parameter assignment list (instead of using the learn parameter) and I cannot see any parameters for a second module.
I inserted a chorus effect instead of the 2nd eq and the parameter list stays exactly the same…
That means that any other module that is inserted after the 1st one isn’t contemplated and cannot be controlled via widgets.
If you’re using widgets, you wouldn’t use the Learn MIDI inside THU, but instead assign to an automation slot. Then you map the widgets to those slots.
I just tested and was able to assign knobs from the 1st EQ and 2nd EQ independently this way, and they function properly. Is this what you are looking to do?
You’ve heard of host automation - that’s what you have presumably normally used with the parameter Learn mechanism.
Normally, that list of parameters is static and so they always appear in that list. For example, the cutoff filter might be parameter number 30 and the Attack of an ADSR might be parameter number 52.
However, some plugins with huge numbers of parameters choose not to list every single possible parameter in advance and instead let (require!) you to map plugin operations to host parameters yourself. Kontakt works that way, for example, though you might not have noticed if you’re using libraries because those libraries will also do the parameter definitions.
So in a plugin like TH-U (and a few others), create your effects and then map the parameters of those effects to host automation parameter numbers, typically any numbers you like, but usually starting at 0. Then, when you select a widget in GP and select the plugin, you will see those parameters that you mapped.
