Linking cutoff frequency to MIDI note?

[RedSkyRoad]

Is it possible to link my EQ's cutoff frequency to a MIDI note?

I want to achieve the automation by just plotting the midi instead of drawing the curves each time I change my chord progression.

Try the NoteMapper by CodeFN42. It's Windows-only, so any Mac users seeing this shouldn't get excited. It inserts into an instrument track, and you need to send the output as you would send MIDI to any MIDI-friendly device. I don't know of how to do this in Studio One without using something like loopMIDI, where you can treat loopMIDI's output like a controller that the Pro EQ3 recognizes. So the basic idea might be something like this:

Instrument Track - Keyboard input, NoteMapper output, input monitor on
Instrument Track 2 - Notemapper input, loopMIDI output (you'll need to create this as a new external instrument)
Use loopMIDI as your external controller'

I haven't figured out yet how to control a Pro EQ3 filter stage with this process but I'm sure it's doable. I'll give it a shot when I have more time. Hopefully you can figure out a recipe and share it.

Be forewarned that NoteMapper requires you to enter a parameter type (e.g., note or controller) for every note you want to use. You'll want to save this as a preset!

It's not exactly what you are looking for and I've never tried it but are you aware of Scaler EQ? https://scalermusic.com/products/scaler-eq/
It basically EQ's based on a musical scale so with the right scale setting it should boost the notes you are using if that is your intention.

They present it as a revolution in EQ but the cynic in me thinks someone would have done it way before now if it was that useful...

I'll give this a try this weekend, thanks.

I basically want to do what Surfer EQ does (https://www.soundradix.com/products/surfereq/) but with ProEQ. Surfer EQ is just not precise enough
