MPE control module

Hi All- quick question about this which I am sure is my poor comprehension… I am using a ContinuumMini. When I output Z to a VCA in VCV, all good- works as expected. Similarly, If I output X to V/Oct of an oscillator- all good. However with some parameters on some modules (e.g. the Frequency control on VCV’s spectra), I do not get any output from the Z function, despite being able to see that I am outputting 0-10V on a VCV Scope. I suspect this is a Midi channel issue- I can see that the Z function of the ContinuumMini is output on channel 5 in the monitor. Could anyone suggest a solution for this? I tried a second instance of the module with Channel Range set to one and first channel being 5, but no luck. Thanks :slight_smile:

MPE is note-per-channel, with XYZ of that note in the same channel. On the Mini, channel 1 is master channel (e.g. for sending macros), and notes and expression on channels 2+. There are settings to choose max polyphony, and the note allocation strategy. By default it’s oldest. You can also use PolyAt instead of MPE, which might be easier to use in Rack.

This won’t help you with the MPE input side, but if you’re using an EaganMatrix device in VCV Rack you’ll want to check out my EM control plugins. For firmware 10.09, VCV Library - HC One. For firmware 10.40+, my as-yet unreleased #d-CHEM: Controller for the Haken EaganMatrix. (Not available for the metamodule hw).

Thanks Paul- will check out.

Hi again Paul- I’ve just got around to checking CHEM out and it looks really exciting. Am I correct in saying that this will give me full access to controlling my ContinuumMini/Eagan Matrix via the macro assignments. If so, will be amazingly helpful! Do you have a sense when the 10.40 rack module will be ready to use? Thanks for your work on this.

It’s usable today. Download from github releases. I am doing final polishing, writing docs, and fixing glitches I find while documenting. No additional modules planned.

Yes, you can control all macros, and automate them with control voltage.

I am hoping to submit to the library in the next couple of weeks.
