James - you got your MC4 from a download or from a boxed set? did Triangle come with it or did you download it separately?

I just looked at that last night; MC 4 includes the Triangle II.
On the MIDI track? I was clicking on the soft synth audio track. I'll check out your way later. Thanks.

I'm making progress on this - slowly! I can now link any TII control to any knob / slider on my keyboard, using MIDI learn (thanks Greg!). I can also record on top of existing tracks, and just twiddling the controls and it records everything too (which is great). So, I can pretty much achieve what I wanted to now which is great.

I'm watching with interest to see if we ever get to the bottom of this mystery about the automated envelope settings though.... it certainly looks like a common problem from the posts here. Both my MC4 and Triangle II were downloads, by the way.

No blue button, Greg, but here's an alternate approach that may work.
Right click the MIDI track. Instead of the Triangle II envelope, select MIDI.
The Type will probably default to Control. Change that to NRPN.
With luck, the Value field should display the same dropdown menu that I am seeing in the Triangle II envelope menu.




In the second screenshot, I have used a MIDI envelope to create the green envelope in the MIDI track.
I have also enabled Automation Write in the Triangle II GUI and the MIDI track.
Since I have Show Automation in Synth Audio Track selected, the automation appears there.
I have not created any envelopes from the Triangle II menu. What you see is the recorded movements as I turned various knobes in the Triangle II GUI. The track display freezes while I am doing this, but the sound continues to play.
When you hover your cursor over a given envelope, a label appears, showing which control it is associated with.
So there are at least four ways to add automation to the synth, and hopefully, you can get one or more to work.
1. Create envelopes using the Triangle II menu (if you can see it)
2. Create envelopes using the MIDI menu.
3. Record control movement from your controller
4. Record (Write) control movement from the GUI
Let us know if that helps anyone move forward.

I think this is where I got TII. Try downloading it from here. It may be a different source file.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Review

At once epic in scope and intimate in detail, David Fincher's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is certainly the director's most emotional film to date (though FIGHT CLUB and SEVEN don't offer much in the way of competition). Loosely based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald story, this romantic drama tells the tale of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), born in 1918 in New Orleans as a baby with wrinkles, cataracts, and arthritis. Benjamin will age backwards, getting younger as he watches those around him growing older. Included in that group are his adoptive mother, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), and Daisy (Cate Blanchett), the love of his life whom he meets when she is just a little girl and he is an old man. They age in reverse, but despite Benjamin's globe-trotting adventures, their lives repeatedly intersect. The script from Oscar winner Eric Roth bears more than a few hallmarks in common with his earlier work on FORREST GUMP: both adaptations cross decades and continents. But BENJAMIN's script or even the fine acting aren't its most impressive accomplishment; the technology--both CGI and makeup--used to make Benjamin and Daisy age are remarkable, and makes the film entirely believable, but they're certainly aided by fine performances from both Pitt and Blanchett. The triumph of technology only serves to underscore the beauty of this film and of the love story at its heart.
If you want to play the movie on your portable devices, you could use the Video Converter for Mac, there is some other converter software for Mac users, such as 3GP Converter for Mac, AVI Converter for Mac, DAT Converter for Mac, VOB Converter for Mac, FLV Converter for Mac, MP4 Converter for Mac, M4V Converter for Mac, MPEG Converter for Mac, MOV Converter for Mac,etc.

woohoo! It works for me too! Super, thanks so much!

Yes Albert.... I've found that
