Try it out and watch the demo videos at http://www.cableguys.de/midi-shaper.html


What does it do?

It allows you to modulate any MIDI assignable control in any of your soft synths, effects plugins and hardware using custom drawn LFO shapes!

So what?
It means you can automate every control on plugins which don't have built in modulators. Or to modulate controls with custom LFO shapes on plugins with shit modulation options.....

Advantages of Midishaper vs automation are that you can draw in a curve much easier giving you more control. You can also adjust LFO speeds and amplitudes on the fly. Furthermore you can use the MIDI learn feature on your synth and assign one LFO to several different sources. This is handy as I've not found another way to do this in Cubase.

Just messing about on Massive, I can already assign the macros to loads of parameters, i.e filter cutoff, waveshape, envelope attack etc.

To take it a step further, I can then assign each macro to an LFO on Midishaper. this can create some crazy modulations.

To take it even further I could then put an automation track on Midishaper! although I've not tried this, I can imagine it might be useful for changing LFO rates etc. The possibilities are endless, I really like this plugin!

Need I say more?


Still don't get it??
I give up. So should you. Go away...

Renoise too.

Need I say flstudio as well?

A lot of these guys' plugs are redundant, but are still strangely useful despite their redundancy. Go figure.

i think i know what your talking about that does this in FL, but just for kicks, could you say what you are talking about?

Logic has some really cool Automation controls though, even though it doesn't work with logic, you can basically do the same thing in logic with automation data, automation curves and duplicating the automation. Use an automation lane so it's cleaner.

A shame this doesn't work in logic though, could be fun to play with.

The sad answer is: No. AudioUnit does not support Midi Output, so there is no chance to support Logic at this point. What we could do, though, is to output the MIDI data to a virtual MIDI port, which you then use in Logic. If there is much demand, we might do this at some point.

is there a demo so i could try this with a vst to au wrapper?
