10.8.2. Toggle MIDI CC values with a pad

One popular musical effect is to take an audio loop, filter it heavily for one section of a song,

and switch it back to the full-open sound later. You can configure one of the BeatStep Pro

pads to send those commands to a filter module inside your DAW.

We’ll use Pad 9 for this example. Select it and then use the pull-down Mode menus to select

“CC” and “Toggle”:

These settings will allow you to send two different values of a particular MIDI CC number

each time you press the pad.

There are a couple of MIDI CC numbers that have been assigned the task of controlling filter

brightness (CC# 74) or harmonic content (CC# 71). We’ll use CC# 74 for this example.

Click on the MIDI CC number field and select the Brightness controller number as shown:

Next we’ll set some minimum and maximum values that might work (adjust them to suit the

audio source):
