AMC3 midi controller

What exactly do you need to figure out?

The website says: "USB class-compliant MIDI controllers. No drivers required."

So I’d assume you just add it as a Keyboard in Studio One, and the faders will send MIDI CC data to Studio One so you can play your Kontakt libs. There’s not much more to it, is there?
 
Exactly, but it won't work! It all looks right, but.... So, wondering if I'm missing something in S1. In attachment, do you know what this error is? Never saw it until this unit was hooked up.

Is Sal3 referring to Scaler 3 - perhaps you accidentally blocked it - need to check in the plugin manager. I have one of AMC3 units on a Macbook and it works fine. What have you set it up as - a controller ?
 
"sal3 has been blocked" means that this plug-in has crashed during plug-in scan so Studio One has put it on the Blocklist.

Add it as a Keyboard. Controllers can't send MIDI CC data that is recorded on a track or sent to instruments.

Unplugged the unit, plugged back in, now it works. But then it stops working. Confusing. Tried another usb cord, no different. The "Control tab in the left top moves for each fader, but does nothing to the instrument. Maybe the unit is faulty?
 
Still not working. Only 1 fader, expression, works. And it's finicky. Yesterday, the volume, cc7, worked. Beginning to think the unit is faulty.
 
I checked mine - its set as a keyboard. I did a test setting the sliders to cc 64 - sustain - just to easily test that it works with a simple presence patch - push slider above 50 % to simulate sustain pedal press. Also try setting all three to cc7 and start with each one at zero - check it changes vol and then return to zero and try next.
 
Thanks, B! Set as keyboard. Midi learn. Control, (up left) shows AMC3 & numbers move with each fader. Loaded Presence cello. Nada. No fader changes volume. Set AMC to cc1, 11, 7.
cc1 changes vibrato, cc11 changes volume a bit, cc7 does not change volume.
Loaded spitfire audio strings in their app. cc1 dynamics, cc11 expression, cc7 volume, all 3 work, so far.
Very odd. Are different vsts set to different cc's?

I'm no expert but I think so - I got the AMC3 after watching Christian from Crow Hill - ex of Spitfire - talk about adding expression and he talked about that combination of 1/11/7 - that also seems to be the way the Crow Hill VSTs are set up too. I believe other like NI may have their own approaches but that the various CCs available are in their manuals in the vsts. The advantage of the AMC is that you can set the three CC values to suit different groupings and switch to them easily.
 
Check this link. Set up as a controller. There's a bit about the the upper left to click that connects all of this. Haven't tried it, but it makes sense. Go to around 3:16 in the vid.
