[Rwp] setting up my control surface to control vst synths and efects so i can do automation?

[Patrick Perdue]

I can't help with your specific controller, but I can say that, with my 
Korg NanoKontrol2 in Mackie (sonar) mode, it is not practical to control 
VST effects. I have to switch to another mode for that, so that it 
doesn't operate the track pan/volume and transport controls, sending a 
completely different set of CC and NRPN values for the buttons, knobs 
and sliders.
I think I will eventually use two control surfaces, one for basic track 
operations, and another just for a dedicated button/knob box that I can 
map anywhere.
My Yamaha Motif XS6 can operate as a control surface, so perhaps I'll 
set that up for tracking, and the Nanokontrol for generic things, when I 
get all my midi stuff up and running again.
