Converting velocity & keytracking to midi CC for external controlling

As you know the model series currently won’t let you transmit midi CC from the sequencer even though the knobs will transmit that data. I’ve just been using the Expression Control max device in Ableton to convert velocity and keytracking data (which it does send) into control & CC for external and vst synths. It’s very, very useful for the feel of plocking CC changes from the Samples. In Ableton the cool thing also is you can take this data from one track & map it to another, or others, getting some complex cross modulated things going.
In Ableton you just map to whatever parameter you want to control, if you are sending CCs to external hardware just add the CC Sender M4L device and map to that which in turn sends the number you specify. Expression Control has nice smoothing and response controls to play with that change the feel quite a bit too.
