Hi,
I want to setup my Trigger Finger so i can control any automatable parameter in Cubase SX 3.1 (or 2.2). Not an unreasonable or difficult thing to do, I would have thought. But how? I can get this to work in Kontakt & VSTs that accept MIDI Learn, but can find no place in Cubase itself to let me learn parameters or map controller numbers to automation lanes/data.

Am i being dumb and is this dead easy, or is it not?

Why couldn't they just put a "Midi learn" button somewhere like Ableton did?

Any help much appreciated!
Thanks

It's going to be hard to explain this. My studio is all packed up so I can't walk you through!!

Goto device->device setup
Then there should be something there for your midi device. You may have to add a generic midi controller.
Ensure the right device is selected then click on one of the parameters on the input side. Click "learn" and roll the dial.
Then out the output side, you can scroll through all of the devices you have running (effects, instruments, native cubase controls such as start and stop) and select any parameter you like.

That's a crappy explaination. Sorry I can't actually walk you through right now, but that should get you closer.

No that was a great explanation - got it up and running now. thanks!
