Monark velocity on filter cutoff

guestantoine

Hello,

How Can I have the Ableton note velocity mapped to the Monark filter cutoff ?

If you have Max 4 Live, there's a MIDI effect called "Expression Control" that should be able to do it.

If you don't, I think there's no perfect solution short of editing the Reaktor ensemble to implement it yourself.

One thing you can do though is map the cutoff in Reaktor to every single note that you play in Monark (go through them one by one: right click the cutoff button and select MIDI & Osc learn, then hit the note once, right-click -> learn again, hit the next note, etc. It's a bit of work if you play a lot of different notes in your part). This will set the cutoff to the note's velocity for the duration of the note. After the note-off event, it will revert to 0 though (since all Live note-offs have velocity 0), so the release portion of the note will always be at cutoff 0 if you do it like that, which can change the sound.
