UC-33 and FL Studio7


Recommended Posts

So, here is my problem. I got myself a Evolution UC33e midi controller. Here is my problem.

 

The controler works perfectly fine, all the knobs, faders and buttons are working properly,

but I have trouble in loading the presets into VST plugins.

The device itself (UC-33e) comes with 33 default presets, and each preset has its' own number

in memory.

So, for example on the number 3 is the preset for Native Instrments Pro53.

I load up the Pro53 VST and i press recall button on UC-33e, type in the preset number 3 and

there is no midi activity in Pro53.

Midi activity exists and it flashes yellow in the upper left corner of the FL Studio,

but as we all know it needs to flash RED if the controlls are asigned and in use.

 

Linking controlers manualy (one by one) works perfectly fine (right click-> link to controler (or last tweekd parameter)

and then tune the knob/fader/button), but my problem stands with presets.

Does anyone have idea how to solve this problem? Or am I trying smthg wrong?

 

So to sum up the story...

 

-midi controller: UC-33e (used with FL7)

-no damages on hardware

-manual linking to knobs/faders/buttons works

-loading a preset and connecting the preset to VST does not work

 

Peace :)

I have found out what is the problem but I still need help.

The solution to the problem stands in MIDI routing.

So I was given instruction on how midi routing is done

in Cubase but since I'm a FL user I dont know how to

midi route the signal in FL.

Help?

 

P.S.

The point is that midi input should be the hardware device

and the midi out from device goes in the VST.

Midi setup is easy in FL Studio. Goto options and you will see midi and from there you select the input from the midi in you are using. Your controller should be listed by name. Be sure to have the latest driver for your device (don't be like me).

With your midi input selected all you have to do is make sure you have the same channel going out your controller as you have setup for the instument - I use channel 1 a lot. Just set FL's midi out to none for now.

First of all thanks for reply.

I have been trying various combination of what you said in your rost.

My midi settings are default like this.

On the pic you can see a Pro53 and its right corner where the port should be set.

Should I go for Input port or Output port on Pro53 and whcih port should be enterd,

and what else should I change in midi settings?

 

Thanks for helping me out!

Peace :)

It is midi INPUT that is important. Your fingers are on the keys making note-on signals which go through the cable into your computer.

Unless you want FL Studio to control a hardware device, you don't need to send its midi out anywhere.

I would just try all the channels one by one until you get it to work with the vsti.

I don't know if the Pro-53 has a midi learn feature or not (try right clicking the pots...shift right clicking etc.)

But first make sure you are on the right channel by hitting keys on your controller until you hear noises - and make sure the volume isn't all the way down.

Hey man! I will try to do what you said.

I have searched hundreads of websites and I have found some kind of solution.

There is a software called Enigma and it is recomended on the official website.

This software allows you to edit the presets, programe them and transfer them to device.

So I have downloaded the software and I have spent a lot of time to find

a new preset (an FL preset) for the device itself.

Now when I run the FL and select the FL preset, buttons such as play, stop,

rewind work instantly ( I mean they are automaticaly asigned).

So in that way I'm slowly narrowing my problem! Now I'm focused on

trying to find the apropriate presets for the plugins and on setting up

ports.

 

Again thanks for hlep man!

Peace :)
