Spitfire-like easy mix fader

Community Usage questions

hello

in spitfire sample libraries there is a fader called easy mix that has a useful functionality.
but unfortunately, not all of them has this feature I tried to create this in kontakt but it did not work as expected.

so, i came up with this idea that maybe a fader in OSC can change a set of faders in the OSC itself, and those faders are assigned to mics. this way you are using few mics at once.

does anyone know how to use a fader in OSC in a way like this picture shows?
I'm using QC to change the easy mix fader, you can see it in the inspector menu.

and this is the actual fader in the instrument UI :

I don't know about achieve this inside O-S-C but it's possible using Max MSP and O-S-C in combination.

From what I can see, it's just interpolating between preset values and for that, it shouldn't be hard to whip up an m4l (Ableton-only) or standalone Max (every midi/osc compatible app). If anyone's curious, look into pattrstorage object and interpolating presets in it (guides also available on youtube).

Also, nodes object in max allows flexible interpolation in an XY layout (for which I'm building a m4l patch which I can then control via XY pad from O-S-C).

If you use Ableton Live Suite, you can use a maxforlive device like Smooth Automator (available for free at m4l site; it's NOT mine) to achieve this. This one gives you a similar fader, you control using a fader in O-S-C to control it.

You could use a custom module to pass the OSC fader data through - then send it from there to a different cc based on the fader value. I think from memory the spitfire mics are on cc 22 to 25 so if you send 0-127 on cc 22 when your OSC fader is between (say value 0 - 25) then to cc23 when value is 26 - 40 etc. etc

Alternatively create a single fader that sends to a Cubase midi remote (Cubase 13 pro) and link in cubase to the the quick control?

well, your solution gave me an idea to do something else inside OSC itself.

i created a fader to control the 3 mic faders (which is in the OSC and assigned to QCs of Cubase) and in the onValue section I did this:

if (value <= 63) {
set("surround", 127 - 2 * value)
set("room", 2 * value)
set("close", 0)
} else {
set("close", (2 * value) - 127 )
set("room",127 - 2 * (value - 63) )
set("surround", 0)
}

I hope this helps everyone.
