- Create a Midi Mapped Controller (e.g. transpose -> XPOS): Right-click on interface (knob, slider) and select “map controller“, then move the desired control (know, slider) on the Keyboard
- there are also LFO and envelope generators in MultiSampla, e.g. for ADSR curves for the amp (e.g. to create a smooth fadeout at the end of a loop)
- Plug effects directly into the Multisampla instance. There are four slots available. Map controllers again with right-click on the control interface
- You can also plug effects in the rack, after sound generators, and map controllers in the same fashion as for multisampla
- Use mapping overview for each rack (right click on rack -> edit MIDI controller map) for overview
- Again: We need to using several racks to enable independent controls / different version of same sample, etc. For this purpose:
- -> insert “send” to the next rack BEFORE sound generating instance in rack (this sends MIDI events, otherwise it would send audio)
- -> edit focus midi map to force rack 1 (in menu “Session”“Project”)
Hints:
- Add your working folder to the favorites: In a save / folder browsing dialog, click on the smiley-folder and choose “add as favorite folder”
- Be careful: the undo function is not always available! Save often.
- if using the filter in the Multisampla, make sure “key tracking” (knob “KT”) is set to zero in the submenu of the filter (otherwise, the filter cutoff changes based on the note pressed)
- You can limit parameter ranges for midi mapped controllers in the “Map controller” dialog (right-click on controller)!
- Keep a list of your trigger and control change mappings! You can open an inventory of the mappings in MuLab by right-clicking a rack and chosing “Edit Midi Controller Map“
...
- Make the project self-contained: Menu “Session” “Project” -> “Manage Audio/Sample Files” -> at “Sample Files” via Dropdown: “Embed Into Session’s Audio Subfolder”Project”. Then SAVE! the whole project/session.
- Now, MuLab and your project can be run from a USB stick on any computer (with the same OS)!
...
- recording the performance: click the round “record” button in the transport area on top, perform the sound with the keyboard and make the modulations in realtime. This generates a sequence with the midi notes, and separate “control change” tracks.
- then render the sound by selecting: Menu “Session “Project > Export tracks as audio files.
- Select an appropriate storage location. The filename is generated automatically based on the name of the track. You can rename it later.
- After recording, you can discard the recorded seqences again.
