[NS2] Control audio-unit parameter via midiLFOs
LFOs are fun to use as input for quick modulations/automations, onto specific synth parameters or fx.
In Nanostudio 2 I want to use midiLFO to drive the filter-cutoff knob inside an instrument (e.g. Obsidian) or AUv3?
I tried adding midiLFO as MIDI-Fx on a "no instrument" track (or an "external MIDI" track), configured midiLFO to output midi on channel 16.
Although I am not sure where midiLFO signal actually goes (back to global Nanostudio? Or into sends?).
I'd expect that the signal pipeline will end up in "Sends", so I added a MIDI-Send toward the second track (with the instrument/AUv3) that has the Filter-cutoff that should be mapped to the midi signal from midiLFO.
I had no success.
Can somebody guide me through the steps/logic to make this work, or let me know if this type of routing is even possible.

Sorry, but it’s not possible in NS2 and there’s no workaround.
Some things can be done by routing the midi out to another app like Streambyter and then back in. Unfortunately this won’t help with what you want to do because NS2 doesn’t support any kind of cc in or out of AUv3 plugins.
If you’re interested in how to “bounce” MIDI out of and back into NS2 for other purposes, see here: https://wiki.audiob.us/doku.php?id=auv3_midi_recording_workarounds#nanostudio_2
But unfortunately it won’t help in this situation.
You should be able to run midiLFOs standalone outside of ns2, then map that to one of the macro knobs to control some things.
It’s been so long since I’ve tried that I forget how to midi learn those macro knobs though. 😬
Ah nice! I tried with Audiobus loading midiLFO ans that works good on Obsidian!
Although I usually try to not rely on a mix of multiple DAWs for a single project, using another host is a bit uncomfortable.
Actually I am now wondering why is not possible to route midiLFO output; wondering whether the midi routing works at all (maybe supports sending notes only? 😢).
Wait, I do this all the time if I'm understanding this correctly:
If you put your LFO on the midiFX slot, CCs 1 through 12 will control the pitch bend, mod wheel, 8 macro pots and the XY pad. So as long as you map one of the pots or the XY to the filter cutoff of the instrument, it will control it for you.
Here's a little video demo: https://streamable.com/m84ofg
edit: That's a completely blank new project so there's no special midi routing being done, just popped in mLFO and told it which CC to send.
