[RWP] automating effect parameters with dynamics?

[Patrick Perdue]

Gord:

Yep, I've done all this in the past. It works, but it's boring. I want to be able to directly automate any given parameter using dynamics as if it were a midi signal. Hmm... Maybe something that converts amplitude to a midi cc which can be chained to automated parameters?

You probably could compress the reverb signal separately, tweaking the threshold and release so that it would not make the decay too long during the loud passages.  Or you could make the send pre fader and just automate it and ride it manually.

I've made a few presets on my Quad IV that are controlled either by dynamics or external midi controllers.
