How to use an expression pedal connected to QC in Archetype plugins?

Midi learn in Archetype doesn’t work, no anything, but I can use with QC.

My expression pedal is m-audio ex-p and running macOS also I checked midi studio but there is no any expression pedal.

Appreciate for your help

I’m not completely sure but I think you need to send midi cc messages to control the software and I don’t think an expression pedal plugged in to the QC has the ability to do so at this time.

I’m on Windows, but it should be similar on Mac:

  • In order for the Plugin to receive MIDI commands, you first have to tell the QC to send those commands:
  • Select any Preset on your QC (or better yet : create a new preset solely for this purpose)
  • The on the ‘dot dot dot’ menu in the upper right corner of the QC, tap on ‘Preset MIDI Out’
  • Tap on the Exp1 or 2 and assign it a type ‘CC’ , select a channel and a CC# ( the default should works, but in a DAW, I had to change the channel & CC# because the DAW was using channel 1 for other purposes…)
  • If you choose to run the standalone version of the Plugin, verify in the ‘cog icon’ (configuration) that it uses the Midi input from the QC
  • If you use a DAW , same thing : check that the DAW is allowing the midi messages from the QC to go into the plugin (the exact procedure very according to the DAW)
