Hi there,
When I use CC Rider to modulate CC1 in Kontakt, I notice that if I move the mod wheel, it causes glitchy conflicts with CC Rider. Ideally, I'd love to be able to move the mod wheel and have CC Rider modulate around the value I set.
Use case: using CC Rider to modulate an instrument morphing between A and B sources on CC1 within a certain range, and moving the mod wheel to dynamically control modulating "mostly A" or "mostly B".
Thank you!
To avoid the glitches, put an instance of MIDI Filter in front of CC Rider, and set it to filter out CC#1.
Your suggestion for CC Rider to modulate around the value set by incoming CC#1 messages is an interesting one. I'll put it on the to-do list for future consideration. One complication will be that plug-ins (CC Rider included) don't know what your mod-wheel position is until the first CC#1 message is received, so a naive implementation would start out modulating about value X, then instantly jump to value Y when you first move the wheel. A more sophisticated algorithm (which I'll have to think about) would probably be more satisfying.
Thank you! Helpful suggestion for MIDI Filter.
Komplete Kontrol offers a "pickup" takeover option for its physical knobs, whereby they only change a CC value once a value exceeding the current one has been received. Could that work?
Alternatively, an initial jump might be better than nothing.

Various "pickup" techniques have been suggested and discussed here at some length. Definitely a good idea, and already on the to-do list.

Yes, but CC Rider could be an excellent testbed to try implementing pickup techniques, so my inclination is to try that first.
