Be sure to tweak and edit patches, not just play the presets, to make sure you like all aspects of the vst. Most have free demos so you can try before you buy. So which one of the plug-ins in the video are you leaning towards if you decide to go that route (or did you decide there's no substitute for the real deal)? No problem with software synths that have midi learn feature-doesn't matter what cc# is transmitted, can be mapped freely to control whatever you want. I use my Kawai K5000S as a main keyboard controller, which has 16 knobs that send midi CC-but the values are factory set, can't change the CC#. All of those MIDI CC settings will be stored, ready to use on all patches including your user edited/saved ones. Just right click on the destination control on Legend, select 'MIDI Learn' and turn the knob (that generates midi CC data) on your hardware controller and it's mapped to that parameter. Glad it was useful.Īnd BTW, yes-setting up hardware control of cutoff, osc waveform, decay, etc is very simple. Yeah, it's one of the better 'synth shootout' videos I've seen on YT. Great to hear it clear as day how different it is from the source.
