How to switch on/off an FX module with Sustain Pedal (or other CC)?

[Lindon]

@musictop -look for MIDI CC64

0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On

@Lindon cool, thanx a lot... would appreciate any hints on how to script it? :)
I have no idea how to approach this!

function onController()
{
	Console.print(Message.getControllerNumber());
	Console.print(Message.getControllerValue());
}

You can also make use of Synth.isSustainPedalDown()

@Lindon @d-healey Thank you very much guys, i think i got it!

I'm working on an update for my piano instrument. I have joined all piano samples in a single stereo wav file and use it with convolution reverb to simulate strings resonance of sustain pedal. I like how it sounds - it works as a kind of a simulation of the resonance effect. I thought to control it with sustain pedal - enabling and disabling convolution module according to pedal state!

@musictop Thought I'd share this. Sustain pedal switching on/off "process input" on convolution reverb module.

function onController()
{
if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == true)
	ConvolutionReverb1.setAttribute(4, true);
if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == false) 
	ConvolutionReverb1.setAttribute(4, false);
}

}

or the slightly shorter version

function onController()
{
    ConvolutionReverb1.setAttribute(4, Synth.isSustainPedalDown() );
}

@Lindon Thanks... I must learn to think in that way! Much appreciated!

[musictop]

@Lindon May i bother you with some more please :)

I need to use this:

MidiAutomationHandler.setConsumeAutomatedControllers(bool shouldBeConsumed)

but have no clue on how to use it! Any advice/suggestion in this regard?

@musictop Try to avoid using magic numbers. Almost all effect controls have constants available (shown in the module browser).

ConvolutionReverb1.setAttribute(ConvolutionReverb1.ProcessInput, Synth.isSustainPedalDown() );

@d-healey Great, thanks!
