    Good tip for scaling the controls...never even thought about that!
     
    Wish I could do that with all my instruments and effects. For example, I like to automate ValhallaRoom's decay time, but its range is so great that the envelope often must change by only a couple screen pixels, requiring that the node values be typed in. If only SONAR allowed you to scale automation envelopes! But I've been begging for that since 2005 and it's not gonna happen.
     


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Great tips, thanx for sharing.

    The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.

    Excellent!!
    I have just had a quick look at Kontakt and it appears the scaling control also works for host automation, which opens up some intresting options in the Komplete Kontrol presets I have been making.

    I say that same thing about Sonar!

    The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.
