Subject:Can't adjust Kitcore track volume and pan?

I've created a drum line using kitcore and am trying to fade out the ending by using a volume envelope. The problem is that the volume envelope is completely ignored. The same is true for pan. And when adjusting the track volume or pan slider there is no change. Do I need to adjust a setting within kitcore in order to make that work? |

Update - I don't see how to adjust the volume in any way of the kitcore midi track. Adjusting the volume slider on the mixing panel does nothing either. I thought I'd route the track through a bus, add the buss to the track list then add an envelope there but I don't see a way to route the kitcore midi track to a bus. Argh. How could it be that volume and pan envelopes don't do anything? |

Yeah for some reason volume and pan envelopes don't seem to have any effect on the actual MIDI track. What worked for me was putting the volume and pan envelopes on the actual soft synth bus. Try pressing 'B' on you keyboard to have ACID show the bus channels (unless you have them showing already of course). You should see KitCore in there somewhere. Add an envelope to that. That should work. (I used KitCore in one of my songs and I just tested out what I wrote.) Message last edited on5/12/2015 4:02:57 PM byMusition. |

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out tonight. |

From this post I made: Kitcore not listen to MIDI Continous controller messages for Volume or pan. It also does not expose VST controlable parameters. The only way to control the volume of Kitcore is through the Soft-synth bus in ACID or through Kitcore's provided volume control. The ACID synth bus will permit you to use envelopes, while the Kitcore provided control is a single static volume setting. Peter Message last edited on5/13/2015 8:27:49 PM bypwppch. |

Thanks Peter for the clarification. I've discovered that I can adjust the volume and pan with envelopes of the main KC synth. I'm bummed to have discovered however that if the KC outputs are routed through individual channels, trying to apply an envelope to that KC output synth channel causes ACID to display an error regarding undo buffers and strongly suggests to save the project with a different name and restart the program. Although I tried all the same with Addictive Drummer 2 and found that ACID behaves the exact same. |
