Today we're going to walk through how to connect emu app to emu VST.
In our case, we're going to use Ableton for that.
First of all, drag emu VST to Media Channel.
Then because emu VST supports up to 514 channels parameters and Ableton shows only up to 64
in the same time.
We need to press configure.
You go to emu app and select faders that you want to map as a VST.
Select first and map it to the first one.
We can see that the fader one was added and now we can drag it around and it will be synchronized
between app and the VST plugin.
If you want to add more channels, we can select several faders and map starting from a second
VST parameter and using the range.
It will be second and third fader after we press map.
So now we have two additional faders.
Now we can control three faders from the emu VST.
Now what if you want to control all the reds in generic fixtures with one fader?
To do that we can select all the red channels, go to the VST mapping and map not range but
all the selected faders
to the first VST parameter.
Now we have all reds are moved with fader one.
Let's do the same for the green faders.
Let's map them to the second VST param and for the third it will be a blue.
So let's do that.
Perfect.
Now we have all three main, colour channels on the three RGB fixtures controlled from
the VST.
What else can be controlled?
So for example, banks and programs also controlled from the VST.
To add them, we need to just change any program or bank.
So as you can see now we have bank and program selection controlled from the VST.
The other thing that is sent from the VST is a tempo sync so now we can see that we
go to 130 and it changed its speed.
Also, VST supports the transmission of a quarter information of the bar position in the playback,
so pay attention to the oscillators while I'm pressing play.
You see, they're jumping to a particular position, so all the oscillators are going to be in
sync with your tempo.
Now let's try to automate the parameters we have.
To do that
Let's drag the emu VST to our drumkit.
Here we have 404.
So and the simple pattern that plays there, what we going to do we going to map red faders.
To a particular automation and assign them to kicks only.
So yeah, now we can see that reds are kicking from the background.
So for the next pattern that we can copy this automation to go to pattern 2 and paste that.
So but now we want to add some green.
So let's select fader and add some greens on the highlights or even better on the flats.
So let's play it.
Yeah.
Now you see that kicks and flats are playing in the same time and synchronized.
What else can we do?
For example, we can change a program based on that particular let's move that and assign
a program to this one program, one to the first one and program three to the third.
Perfect.
Now changing the clicks we change the programs same time send in the automation for a particular
program.
