NRPN (MIDI) 💬 to control you hardware synthesizer // practical MIDI tutorial 

Happy I could help :) too bad that is still the only tool available for NRPN in Ableton it’s quite old :(

No I’m still on 11 but will have a look at the pack, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Oh man, that annoyed me for some time then I solved it but now that I tried to reproduce the issue and go back to this annoying behaviour I could not do it. It had smth to do with the MIDI clock of course, have you tried to set it to n55 (NSS) in the global settings?Also check that you have the latest OS on your machine.

@@solarj yes, setting the midi clock to n55 did the trick! The only problem now is that I can't properly set program changes. For whatever reason, when the npnr max device is on, ableton does not switch the banks. When I close the plugin, it works but I can't use the automated parameteres anymore.

found it! You have to send, in the NPNR plugin, the MIDI Thru filter, to NPNR. Then, for Prophet 6 you set the bank number at the "sub bank" field and the preset number in the program field. I use a basic midi clip in ableton to automate program changes for external gear.

Thanks :) I’ve only scratched the surface of those but looks like there more to it, I’ll have a better look thanks for the suggestion!

@@solarj for the input mod 1&2, you can use an external CV controller or actually route (physically, with a cable) an individual out of the rytm, to the "control" input 1or2, and use an audio signal as a modulation source. you can even put a (waveform ?) sample on the modulation track to use it as some sort of second LFO/modulation source for the input mod. this page is at the bottom of the kit page. once in the input mod page, you can select which instrument you want to modulate, by clicking once on one of the encoder, then you turn the encoder to select destination. there is also another menu for the input modulation page, where you can enable/disable input modulation, toogle CV or audio modulation and some kind of threshold. it's in global/control But the velocity mod (shift+filter/velocity mod) on it's own, doesn't require audio routing and is amazing. This is basically almost everything you need to know, I hope that helps ! thank you for all the Rytm tutorials :D Cheers !

Sorry I have no clue…as I mentioned it’s crazy that we have to rely on a super old tool made by a private person to use NRPN easily! Maybe if your computer it’s new it doesn’t support it anymore? That would be tragic…I couldn’t find any alternative to gbravetti’s tool for sending NRPN from Ableton..Let us know if you find a better solution!

@@solarj it’s ok I talked to the guy who created the Pelgin , There is a problem with a MIDI note together with nrpn info
