Using a separate MIDI track to map and send CC values
I am a recent convert from FL Studio (eek - yes I know!).
I have a MIDI controlled speech synthesizer that I tend to use quite frequently. The MIDI notes sent to the speech synth are assigned to individual phonemes. When I used FL Studio I was able to control the pitch of the speech synthesizer in real-time by using the Fruity Keyboard Controller to send MIDI CC values on a separate MIDI track to the speech synth. This keyboard controller plugin allows for custom MIDI CC values to be mapped to each note.
e.g.
C5: CC2 = 87, CC3 = 71
C6: CC2 = 104, CC3 = 86
C7: CC2 = 116, CC3 = 86
Is there any similar way of doing this in Reaper? I have attempted it so far by individually mapping CC values to keys in ReaLearn. It works, but it has some quite hefty latency that makes real-time pitch control quite difficult.
I had an attempt doing it in Reaktor too, but gave up as I was getting nowhere.
Any input or feedback is much appreciated, and for those curious the speech synth is a Votrax SC-02 à la Florian Schneider's Robovox 😁
