3.2.5. Automating the Mellotron V with MIDI
So, let's prepare the Mellotron V to be used with a MIDI controller, or automated through
your DAW:
• You may leave the instrument exactly where we were just now. Click the MIDI
socket icon in the Upper Toolbar;
• Now, many of the controls in the Mellotron V become purple, which means
they are ready to "learn" MIDI automation controls. You'll also notice that some
controls are red, instead of purple. That means those controls are already
assigned. The Volume, and the Track Selector are two controls that come pre-
assigned;

♪
: Volume control comes already assigned to the MIDI Controller #0, while the Track Selector control
comes already assigned to the MIDI Controller #1. This last one is usually sent by the Modulation Wheel
of the MIDI keyboards.
• Click the Dry/Wet knob of one of the effects (this way you will be able to control
that effect amount dynamically). Let's do that with the Rom Simulator Dry/Wet
control. A pop-up window like the one in the following picture will appear.
• Now move the control knob/fader you want to use to control that parameter. If
the connections are well established, you should see the parameter assigned to
the Dry/Wet control. If your controller is able to, and the control you selected
is of the right type, you should select "Is Relative", to make sure that when you
touch that parameter the control will not jump suddenly. For more information
about this feature, refer to the section Relative Control option [p.27] in the USER
INTERFACE chapter.
• You may assign as many parameters as you want. You may even assign several
software parameters the same hardware controller, although this will mean that
they will all assume the same value once you move that controller;
This hands-on tutorial is now finished. You may keep reading this manual, or you may go
on playing the Mellotron V.
Mellotron V ready to "MIDI learning" (several controls are
purple). Notice the pop-up window above the Dry/Wet
control of the Room Simulator. That control is set to learn,
as soon as a MIDI control is moved. Notice also that the
Volume control and Track Selector control are red - it
means they are already assigned
