Hi,
I hope somebody can help me. I would love to use an expression pedal to control the main volume output. I use the volumeknob a lot for dialing in tones and melodies. And I thought it would be nice to use a pedal to control that feature. So my hands can do other stuff…
Is it possible to change the code in the main section and insert this feature?
And if so, what does that look like, and where to insert exactly?
Looking forward to your tips and advice.
This will require editing the patch. When you load a patch, there is a Pd file called mother.pd that gets loaded with every patch. You can override the default one by creating a new mother.pd in the patch folder, and this is where you would need to make the change (in mother.pd, in the audio section). It is a little bit of a hack and you might get better results just using a regular volume pedal.
Thanks, Oweno. That’s helpfull, also raising the question if it would not be a better idea to use a regular volume pedal. I was allready thinking of going that way.
Does a hack in the mother.pd have influence on the sound quality, you think? Or do you expect other issues?
Another option would be to use 2 keys of the keyboard for a stepped volume adjustment.
Like on a laptop.
