How to change programs in vital inside carla

[lokki]

are there any carla users here? https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla

i would like to change vital presets via incoming program changes.

vital does not react to those program change messages.

[vcvr]

i think this is not supported at the moment.

oh, bummer! this would be really nice for live usage of the synth. i have vital running nicely at 160 blocks and 88200 samplerate, which gives me a very low latency.

[vcvr]

you can open preset browser and change preset with arrow keys.

or try this

FR: Next and Previous preset actions via MIDI CC (learn)

What I end up doing as a workaround is a REAPER script to be able to save two mouse cursor positions with a CC buttons on my keyboard and two scripts to recall these positions and simulate mouse press. [image] Works pretty nicely, it helps me explored the presets quite easily, but it isn’t as flexible as MIDI Learn CC (as this wouldn’t need to store positions etc).

hmm, thanks, but that is not really an option for me, since the whole project will run headless at that point and i will switch multiple synths via program changes, not just vital. so keyboards or cc messages don’t make sense to me. i just tried on HELM and indeed there it works, i can change presets via program change. so, it would be great to have that available on vital as well.

maybe add your wishes to feature requests. I´m sure you´re not the only one interested in this.

And when helm can do it, chances are probably not too bad that it will be possible with vital in the future.
