MIDI control and automation

In the stand-alone version, all knobs, faders and buttons can be controlled by MIDI. The VST and AU plug-in can be controlled using native automation, but not all parameters can be automated.

MIDI

To setup MIDI control in the standalone version, please select your MIDI interface from the menu (File -\> MIDI devices...). If you have added a new MIDI interface after starting the program, please restart to allow the program to find it. To assign a MIDI event to a GUI control, please right-click on the control (button/knob/fader) and select “MIDI learn” from the menu. You will then be asked to activate the controller on the external MIDI controller. It is recommended that you assign a MIDI button to a GUI button, and a MIDI fader/knob to a similar GUI element. To remove the specific mapping from the GUI element, right-click and select “MIDI clear.” It is not possible to map the “Load module preset,” “Save module preset,” “Mono / stereo” or “Tweak” buttons to MIDI, but you can map the “Enable/disable” module.

If you have assigned a GUI element in a module, you are free to move around the module any­ where in the preset, but if you delete the module the mapping will be cleared. MIDI mapping is stored inside the preset and will be restored when you reload the preset.

Plug-in automation

ReValver has an automation feature that allows you to make changes when you are mixing a song. This can be particulary important when recording a virtual wah-wah track, for example, where you need to be able to make those changes just like you would with the pedal. However, due to the modular structure of ReValver MK III it is not possible to map all GUI elements to plug-in automation events. For example, if you have two distortion­ pedals in the chain, only the first in the chain will receive the events, even if they were recorded from the second. To use automation, your VST/AU host must be capable of reading and writing automation events from plug-ins. Please refer to your DAW’s manual for more information on its particular use of automation.
