How to automatically switch between EQ presets?
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2017 5:16 pm
Hello, I am new.
I use a laptop with AV Linux as an expander for a mute MIDI keyboard. After various attempts, the more satisfying setup for my live performances is to play live inside Ardour, in which I load 2 or 3 MIDI tracks to control some plugin such as Zynaddsubfx. Fluidsynth and so on. I like especially the possibility to automatically load a separate effects chain inside each track without the hassle of having to redo the connections manually.
The problem is the following: I use mainly Zynaddsubfx for the synth, organs and strings, and Fluidsynth only for the piano. Zynaddsubfx has several sounds loaded, selected changing the MIDI channel from my keyboard. I would like to equalize each sound separately in the most proper way (one preset for the organ, one different preset for the strings etc). Is there any way to tell Calf Equalizer "when I am playing on channel 7 use this preset and when I am playing on channel 5 use this other preset"?
Otherwise I would have to set up a greater number of MIDI tracks, each one with a different instance of Zynaddsubfx, and a separate instance of Calf Equalizer, but I am afraid this makes the file too big to load and at risk of crashing while playing.
Thank you in advance
