OT controlling Virus CC Messages

Another day, another Q…

My setup at present MIDI Wise
OT Out > Virus In
Virus Out > OT In
Virus Thru > AR In

I’m trying to set up cc learn controls through the OT, (listening for cc messages) when I select that option and the OT is listening I then tweak the cutoff on the Virus for instance, but it didn’t work!

Do I need a different MIDI solution to access what I’m looking for?

Your setup sounds absolutely reasonable …

Now, there maybe some hick-ups … :wink:

  1. Your setup might cause a midi-feedback in some cases. If yes, a local-off on the Virus could be good advice.
  2. Are OT and Virus talking/listening on the same midi-channel?
  3. I expect that you see the OT displaying “Listening for Midi CC Messages”. But does the virus transmit controller data too?
  4. Sometimes the physical connection or the cable might be bad.

If you have a utility to check midi messages you could check this out … there are free utilities for Mac and PC.
