I would like to control this with my MPK249 controller, but I can't find a MIDI learn option for this.  Is it possible?


Thanks!

Can't you control the plugin knob that's in the FX chain directly? Otherwise you're trying to control a knob that's controlling another knob..

ACT somehow has access to the FX chain knobs. so you could potentially try that (if your controller is configured as ACT controller) ... yet, there are very old bugs regarding ACT and FX chains which have never been addressed, so if the mapping is all screwed when you try it, you won't have much chance fixing it (but it's still worth a try)

have you tried right clicking on that knob ? there should be a Midi Learn option when right clicking on this knob.

I haven't fully understood yet why but on some FX chains there are fewer right mouse click options on buttons than on others ... I assume some of it may be due to some locking functionality that I believe Craig also used to protect the FX chains he provided  ...

Im a little surprised myself, typically you can midi learn any knob in an FX chain.

That's the case only with the CA-X amps, however you can write automation for all the controls. Non-CA-X amps should allow for right-click MIDI learn.
