1.1 Launching and controlling Maul
Using Maul as an audio insert effect
In most cases, Maul should be launched as an insert effect, although in many hosts it may not be
possible to route MIDI notes and/or MIDI C C s to an insert plugin. It is still possible to use your
host's built-in automation features to control Maul - all parameters are exposed to the host
automation system.
Using Maul with MIDI control
Maul features extensive MIDI control features for interacting with its parameters in real time.
MIDI control with Maul is host-dependent. Some hosts make it very easy to route MIDI notes and/
or continuous controllers to an effect plugin, but in some it may be necessary to run Maul as an
instrument or MIDI-controlled effect on a separate channel and route the desired audio to the
input. Please consult your host's documentation for full details of its MIDI implementation for audio
effect plugins.
