midi control in DimPro

Can anyone talk me through setting up DimPro to respond to midi CC for key aftertouch so I can get vibrato on a trumpet duet patch?

Thanks

    Open the MIDI Matrix.

    Choose Channel AT as your source, and Pitch of your trumpet element(s) or All as your destination. Add depth to taste.

    vibrato on a trumpet duet patch
    To add to kwgm's reply: It would be more controllable (yet also, more mechanical) to point to the Pitch LFO as a destination. Something to the effect of Channel Aftertouch -> Pitch LFO 1 Depth -> 20-25 Hz. -> 0.0 as a slot in the MIDI Matrix. If you'd like a little 'fade in/out' on the vibrato, bump the Smooth value up from 0.0 to ~2.5.

    You'll need to enable the Pitch LFO(s) at the Element level, too. You may want to change the default 'triangle 0' waveform to the 'sine 1' selection (by clicking on it). A Depth of 0.00 pushes all control over the Pitch LFO to aftertouch.
    Status: On
    Freq: ~4.50 - 6.50 Hz.
    Delay: 0.00
    Fade: optional
    Depth: 0.00

    If I'm guessing correctly, you want to use this on DimPro's 'Trumpet Duo f' preset. Two Elements, and each on represents a trumpet. If you want vibrato to affect both, you'll need to set up both the Pitch LFO in Element 1, and the Pitch LFO in Element 2. It adds realism to vary the vibrato settings for each 'instrument'. You may want to vary the Freq slightly in each LFO, or vary the Depth settings in the MIDI Matrix slots.

    Hi Tom,

    I may have meant Pitch LFO, but that's not what I wrote.

    Thanks for backing me up!

    regards,

    Kurt

    Thanks guys,

    I got sidetracked and haven't had a chance to try it yet.
